Ferrari 812 Superfast for Export from Dubai

Ferrari 812 Superfast for export from Dubai: a 6.5-litre V12 that Ferrari has already replaced

A Ferrari 812 Superfast is a front-engine, two-seat grand tourer built around a naturally aspirated V12. The fact that decides its value abroad is the engine. Ferrari kept the big twelve-cylinder alive in a market that moved to turbochargers and hybrids, and buyers in many countries treat the 812 as the end of that line. Anyone looking at a Ferrari 812 Superfast for export from Dubai is therefore shopping for a car whose appeal is partly about what it is and partly about what has come after it, since Ferrari has since introduced a successor, the 12Cilindri.

Supply in the Emirates is thin. Ferrari sold these cars through its official Gulf dealer, owners tend to keep them in good order, and many are sold on to the next collector rather than traded cheaply. Plenty of people search for a used Ferrari 812 Dubai and find only a handful of cars at any moment. For cars sold for local use inside the UAE, the used Ferrari 812 Superfast page for Dubai is the right place. This page covers the ones offered to overseas buyers, and the notes below explain what to look at before you contact a seller.

Which 812 you are looking at, from the 2017 launch to the GTS and Competizione

The 812 Superfast was unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March 2017 as the successor to the F12berlinetta. It is a single generation with no major facelift in the way a mainstream car has one. Instead Ferrari widened the family over the next few years. The open-top 812 GTS arrived in 2019 with a folding hard top. In 2021 came the 812 Competizione and its roofless sibling the Competizione A, both far rarer and built in limited numbers.

That matters because the name in a listing can be loose. A seller who writes "812" might mean the standard coupe, the GTS, or one of the limited cars. The standard coupe is the one this page is about. Read the VIN, the registration document and the badge on the tail to confirm which one is for sale, because the three versions are priced as separate cars and the paperwork at the destination will name the exact type.

Ferrari ended the 812 range around 2023 and moved on to the 12Cilindri. Everything on the used market today is therefore a finished chapter. No new-model change will date it further, which is helpful if you want to hold the car, and unhelpful if you are hoping for factory support to widen.

What the V12 and the chassis actually deliver

The name is a code. Eight hundred metric horsepower and twelve cylinders give the 812 its number, and the engine behind it is a 6.5-litre V12 that peaks at a very high crank speed, close to 8,500 rpm. Power goes to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. There is no manual option and no all-wheel drive.

The 812 also introduced several things to Ferrari's twelve-cylinder line. It was the first V12 Ferrari with electric power steering, and it uses rear-wheel steering on the back axle to shorten the effective wheelbase at speed. Ferrari's Side Slip Control software links the stability systems with the steering and the dampers. None of this is visible in a listing, but it is why a well-kept car feels tight and why a car with a crash repair can feel wrong, because the steering and suspension geometry has to be set correctly afterwards.

The name Superfast is not new. Ferrari used it for the 500 Superfast of the mid-1960s, so some sellers add classic-car language to their descriptions. Treat that as marketing. The car here is a modern production model with a full electronics package, and its condition should be judged like any current Ferrari: service record, software updates and a clean history in the dealer system.

Two seats, a long nose and not much luggage

The 812 is a two-seat car with a long bonnet and a fixed fastback roof. It has a deep rear boot area under the glass hatch, enough for two soft bags and a few smaller things, but no room for a rear passenger. If your end buyer needs four seats, this is the wrong Ferrari, and a GTC4Lusso or Purosangue fits better.

The shape puts practical limits on shipping. The front splitter sits low, the nose is long, and the car needs careful loading onto a ramp. Ask the forwarder how they handle low-clearance cars, and whether the container or the roll-on roll-off deck can take a vehicle with this ground clearance. A damaged lower lip is a common and expensive repair, and the seller should be asked about previous scrapes.

Tyres are another point. The 812 wears wide, low-profile rubber, sized for the weight and power. Replacement costs are high and some markets stock only a limited range. Look at the date codes on the tyres in the photographs and ask for the tread depth, because a worn set is a bill you inherit on arrival.

What sets the price of a Ferrari 812 Superfast sold for export

There is no single figure to quote, and prices move quickly. What you can control is which factors you weigh. The version comes first. A GTS usually sells at a different level from the coupe, and a Competizione sits well above both. Next is mileage, though for a car like this the service record counts for more, since a low-mileage car with gaps in maintenance can be worth less than one with higher use and full dealer stamps.

Options and colour matter a great deal on a Ferrari. A car with factory carbon fibre, special wheels, a lifting system for the nose or a bespoke interior from the Tailor Made programme is more desirable than a plain one, and a rare paint can add or take away interest depending on taste. Number of previous owners is a useful signal too, as is whether the car was bought new in the Gulf or imported from elsewhere.

Finally, there is freight and insurance. Moving a high-value car safely costs more than moving an ordinary saloon, because the insurer will ask for enclosed transport and a documented condition report. Get quotes before you agree the price with the seller, not after.

Gulf specification against cars built for other markets

Ferrari builds the 812 to different standards for different regions. A car delivered new through the Gulf dealer carries Gulf equipment: air conditioning and cooling tuned for hot weather, metric dials and region-specific lighting. The history of a first-hand car is easy to confirm from the dealer's records.

A car that came from the United States, Europe or another region will differ in places. Lights, bumpers, emissions hardware, and sometimes seat belts or software can vary. Those cars are not worse, but they may need extra checking when they move on to a third country, and some buyers prefer the original market's papers. The VIN plate and the registration card tell you where the car was first sold.

For a buyer abroad, the question is which specification is easier to register. Ask your own authority whether a Gulf-specification car is acceptable, and whether any adaptation is needed. A parts supplier or a Ferrari service centre in your country can usually look up the VIN and tell you what the car needs.

How to buy a Ferrari 812 Superfast in Dubai for export, step by step

Begin with a short list of the rules at your end. Collect the age limit, the emissions requirement and the documents your port asks for, and keep them beside you while you talk to sellers.

You will deal with the seller directly. The marketplace adds no commission and has no hand in inspection, shipping or guarantees, so price and handover stay between you two.

Ask the seller for the registration card, the VIN, a full set of photographs including the underside and the engine bay, and the Ferrari service history. For a car at this level it is reasonable to ask for an independent inspection at a Ferrari specialist, paid for by you. Find out who cancels the UAE registration and when the export certificate will be issued.

Pick a forwarder with experience in moving supercars, because the car needs enclosed loading, strapping and photos at each step. They will explain what the bill of lading must say. Sign an agreement that names the car and its VIN before sending money, and keep the final payment until the documents are in hand.

Age limits, emissions rules and what to ask before paying

A car of this generation is recent, so age rules rarely block it. Some countries still look at the date of first registration, while others use the build date, so ask the destination authority which applies and what proof they accept.

Emissions are the item to check carefully. The 812 is a large, powerful petrol twelve-cylinder, and some places apply additional taxes or standards to cars of this size and output. Your customs office can give you the figure, which the seller cannot.

Steering is left-hand drive on every UAE car. If your country registers only right-hand-drive vehicles, the 812 will not be accepted however good the condition. Check that before anything else.

Before paying, put six questions to the seller. Does anything still owe money on the car, and are there unpaid fines? Do the VIN on the car and the papers agree? Has it been in a collision or resprayed? Is it the coupe or the GTS? Were all dealer software updates done? Can the seller provide the paperwork your forwarder listed?
