Ferrari Testimonials | Reviews Of The World's Fastest Cars

May 8, 2018 By Jason Perkins Leave a Comment

If you’re getting a Ferrari, look at some Ferrari testimonials first. These supercars aren’t just expensive but incredibly exclusive, too. New owners even have to sit through numerous lectures to help them better understand how their Ferraris work from top to bottom. There’s a reason why they’re exclusive: the 70-year old car manufacturer brings several decades’ worth of expertise, and everyone who buys their vehicles reflects their passion as well. On that account, read up on what top drivers and Ferrari fans around the world have to say about driving the most incredible Ferraris on the market.

Ferrari Testimonials | Drivers Zoom In

1. 812 Superfast

A post shared by ArabGarage Cars | Lifestyle (@arabgarage) on Feb 25, 2018 at 3:26am PST
When your V12 car has proven it can go up to 340 km/h, hell, you can call it anything you want, which is exactly what Ferrari was thinking when it made the 812 Superfast. The 812 Superfast is powered by a monstrous 6.5-liter V12 engine which pushes out 789 HP. Jaw-dropping, we know. It has a maximum torque output of 718 Nm at 7,000 RPM and maxes out its engine speed at 8,900 RPM. Honestly, we can’t see an occasion where you’ll need that much vroom-vroom, but the 812 Superfast has it if you want it.

It’s also with the 812 Superfast that Ferrari debuted its first electronically-assisted steering system. In the past, Ferrari’s pride was their vehicles’ mechanical-based steering. Sure, you might feel closer to your car without electronics, but boy, things changed a lot. The car handles as well as a soccer mom van, but it’s a Ferrari.

In one of his greatest Ferrari testimonials, here’s what Car and Driver’s Jared Gall has to say about the 812 Superfast:

On one recent Saturday, I jumped out of an airplane. But that wasn’t the most exciting thing that happened that week. Because six days later, I drove the Ferrari 812 Superfast. In Italy, on Ferrari’s private race/test track in Fiorano. It was, in skydiver parlance, epic. The speeds were higher, the g loads greater, and the soundtrack light-years better than just a whole lot of high-speed wind buffeting past my ears.

2. GTC4Lusso

A post shared by Success Motivation Wealth ™ (@success_motivation_wealth) on Apr 29, 2018 at 4:07am PDT
If you want a car with a V12 engine that can also drive your kids to school, the GTC4Lusso is for you. Using an updated version of the FF’s engine, the GTC4Lusso is a tiger among cats. How often do you see a four-seater that can put out 681 BHP and go from 0-100km/h in under 4 seconds?

While its engine is only subtly different from the FF’s, the steering isn’t. The GTC4Lusso adopts an electronic steering system. This system makes the GTC4Lusso more manageable in terms of handling.

Remember when we said it was a four-seater? Yes, it’s odd to see that in a Ferrari, but here it is. The interior is roomy and even better if you spring an extra few thousand to get a panoramic roof. You also have your standard driver’s seat with digital readouts.

However, what’s really cool about the GTC4Lusso is the passenger’s seat console. This allows the passenger to handle navigation, music, and more without having to use the middle display.

Top Gear’s Ferrari testimonials are rarely generous, but they were pretty nice to the GTC4Lusso:

Ferraris can sometimes seem a little brash, but this one not only dodges those connotations, but also manages to lift the rest of the range.

3. 488 Spider

A post shared by www.488talk.com (@488talk) on Apr 9, 2018 at 7:51am PDT
The Spider series is one of Ferrari’s most famous models. The 488 Spider takes the timeless design to the 21st century with all the comforts and tech that comes with it. But first, let’s talk about the noise.

Ferrari fans will know the Spider’s noise anywhere except the 488. You can still hear the purr, yet it’s just that – a purr, not the roar we’re used to – but don’t worry, the engine is still as insane as ever. The 488 Spider boasts a top speed of 326 km/h and a 0-100 km of 3 seconds. Yes, 3 seconds flat.

Ferrari really stepped up their electronics game with the 488 Spider. Two features of note: Sport and Race modes. The Sport mode gives you the feeling of driving a luxury saloon but in a Ferrari. Handling is incredibly smooth, thanks to the computer-assisted steering Ferrari installed. If you’re feeling frisky, just push the Race button and get as close as possible to top speed without breaking a sweat.

Adam Towler from Evo has this to say about the 488 Spider:

One word? Sensational.

4. Portofino

A post shared by Josh (@jc.automotive_16) on Apr 29, 2018 at 12:29pm PDT
New to the stable, the Portofino is Ferrari’s version of a “reasonable car.” It sells at a “reasonable” $400,000 but promises it’s worth it. And yes, it is. The Portofino is equal parts convertible, daily driver, family car, and sports car. It has a 3.8-liter twin turbo V8, a hallmark of the carmaker. If it’s not loud and powerful, it’s not a Ferrari.

This same engine is carried over from the California T. It’s a reliable engine, with good fuel efficiency for its power. It can carry its riders to a mind-numbing 320 km/h and can reach 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.

Impressive numbers for a “reasonable car” we presume. The only problem you can have with the Portofino is it’s not in the classic Ferrari red; rather, it’s got a selection of greys and blacks that kind of deviate from the brand’s longtime aesthetic.

Drive.au’s Toby Hagon has this to say about the Portofino:

“Versatile”, “roomy” and “generous” are not descriptors you typically associate with a new Ferrari. It’s usually about driving passion, top speeds and noise, all the sorts of things that have defined the brand since 1947. But the Portofino is no ordinary Ferrari, hence the change of pace for a company that sells on speed.

5. LaFerrari Aperta

A post shared by www.YouTube.com/CVDZIJDEN ???? (@cvdzijden) on Apr 7, 2018 at 3:08am PDT
To celebrate Ferrari’s 70th anniversary, they put out one of their best cars ever made: the LaFerrari Aperta. You might consider this car as the embodiment of 70 years worth of automotive expertise, and you’d be right. This car sold for over $10 million at auction, and every penny was well deserved.

The Aperta houses a V12 engine (it is a Ferrari, after all) capable of putting out 789 BHP. It has a top speed of 344 km/h and a 0 – 100 km/h of… wait for it: 2.9 seconds. Speed can be scary, but not in the Aperta. It handles as well as a luxury saloon, even tight corners going at least 200 km/h. There is no understeer to speak of: the car is, quite possibly, the friendliest Ferrari of all.

Car Magazine’s Ben Miller can sum up the Aperta in these words:

If Ferrari can hang onto nothing else over the next 70 years it can’t let this go: its cars’ unique ability to spontaneously prompt uncomplicated joy and wonder wherever they roam.

 

Need any more reasons to buy a Ferrari? Here’s a video from Seen Through Glass:

These Ferrari testimonials were taken from real drivers with a lot of clout in the automotive industries. However, words can only paint a picture so well. One thing’s for certain: a Ferrari is not just a car. It’s a thing of beauty, crafted by loving hands in immaculate conditions. Each Ferrari is taken care of as if they were the engineers’ child — with love and care. Owning one is not just a privilege but a commitment. Therefore, we believe you must try driving one for yourself someday.
