📖812 GTS: the open-top 800 hp V12 spider where folding roof mechanics and front lift health require vigilance

Marking Ferrari's first series-production front-mounted V12 spider in half a century, the 812 GTS unites the majestic 800 hp naturally aspirated 6.5 V12 with open-air grandeur. While alternative luxury cabriolets like the Aston Martin DB12 Volante prioritise plush isolation, the 812 GTS delivers monumental analogue thrills, screaming to 8,900 rpm. Reviewing Ferrari 812 maintenance records reveals that custodians must rigorously evaluate folding roof mechanics and low-speed running gear.

Operating an open-top front-mid supercar spanning nearly two metres in width brings distinctive servicing considerations. The aluminium retractable hard top folds neatly in 14 seconds, yet lightly used cars kept on trickle chargers often develop lazy hydraulic microswitches or stiffened weather seals. Furthermore, heavy urban and coastal use can accelerate wear on low-profile 20-inch tyres, front composite splitters and the front axle lift system used to clear driveway ramps.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability

Magnificent 800 hp naturally aspirated V12 delivers intoxicating open-air acoustic drama and linear power up to 8,900 rpm.
Clever aluminium folding hard top lowers in 14 seconds, offering genuine coupe refinement when closed.
Four-wheel steering (Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0) makes this imposing wide-body spider remarkably agile in tight corners.
Original seven-year Ferrari Genuine Maintenance package provides excellent service transparency on UK cars.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on

Retractable hard top operation: cycle the mechanism to inspect hydraulic speed, latch alignment and rear tonneau cover seating.
Front axle lift system: check hydraulic pump pressure, lift speed and inspect the underside of the front bumper for curb scrapes.
Dual-clutch transmission low-speed behaviour: test urban crawling, hill starts and reverse gear engagement without clutch shudder.
12-volt battery conditioner usage: sporadic use causes battery voltage drops; verify consistent charger use to avoid false fault codes.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss

Annual engine oil and filter renewal using Shell Helix Ultra 10W-60 synthetic lubricant.
Lubrication of folding roof hinges, microswitches and weather seal conditioning at every 12-month service.
Front axle lift hydraulic check and suspension geometry alignment audit every 12 months.
Brake fluid replacement every 24 months to preserve carbon-ceramic calliper performance.
