We wouldn’t say that Mansory is getting soft, but we will admit that a small fraction of their tuned exotics is actually cool. This Ferrari 812 GTS is just one of them, and in this writer’s vision, it would look much better without that big rear wing.
The advantages of having the engine sit behind the cabin are so obvious, one might even wonder why they don't make all cars in this configuration. Well, the reasons are many, but consider this too: would spotting a mid-engine Ferrari still be the highlight of your day if you had already seen thousands of similar Fords, Chevrolets, and Toyotas?

When Ferrari came out with the 812 Superfast back in 2017, it wanted to make sure the new model would serve as a proper successor to the epic F12berlinetta, and that included nailing the styling just right, both inside and out. 12 photos
We’re here to talk about the interior mostly, which in the case of the 812, takes inspiration from the F12 as well as the LaFerrari. That s evident by the positioning and overall shape of the air vents, as well as the contours of the dashboard. The Italian carmaker decided against using a central infotainment display (like they did on the GTC4Lusso), which arguably resulted in a more driver-focused ambiance.

Swiss-born Constantin is also the owner of the Sion Football Club and has been driving Ferraris since 23: he bought himself a Testarossa back in 1980. He describes himself as a Ferrarista but not a Ferrari collector because he drives them, enjoys them for a while, and then sells them off to buy a new one.
The time for his latest, an 812 Superfast, the most powerful GT in the Ferrari lineup, had run out. Last week, while driving on a mountain road between Martigny and Les Marécottes in Switzerland, he was involved in a serious accident that left the Ferrari totaled, Auto Journal reports. The cause of the crash was speeding and intoxicated driving, but not on Constantin’s part: the driver of a Peugeot rear-ended him as he came out of a turn in the road.
