2020 Ferrari 812 GTS

Behold Ferrari's most powerful convertible ever. Like the 812 Superfast, the 812 GTS is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12, which sends power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The 2020 Ferrari 812 GTS boasts 789 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque. The sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) is 2.9 seconds with the journey from 0 to 124 mph (200 kph) achieved in 8.3 seconds. Top speed is 211 mph.

There is no word on price but the 812 Superfast starts at $610k so many are expecting a base price north of $700k.

Successor to the W194, in the hands of Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss it won 9 of 12 races entered and captured the only two world championships in which it competed. A crash at Le Mans that year ended its short-lived domination and spelled the end for the W196, as Mercedes pulled out of competitive racing in 1955 and did not return for another three decades.

The W196 was front mid-engined, with its longitudinally mounted engine placed just behind the front axles instead of over them to for better front/rear weight distribution.

A welded aluminum tube spaceframe chassis carried ultra-light Elektron magnesium-alloy bodywork.
