The 2021 Ferrari 812 is one of the world’s most expensive and dominant cars. With its chiseled body, hyper speed and upper six figure price tag, it is a vehicle that most can only dream of. But is it good enough to beat the 2021 Mercedes Benz AMG® GT, a true super car with track level acceleration, a ritzy and spacious cabin, and all the latest technology?
Design & Style
The Mercedes Benz AMG® GT is a sensational car that comes with four doors, a muscular fastback frame and wide stance. Its hood is long with a shortened deck and the cabin that has excellent head and leg room, with the ability to seat 4 passengers. Its cargo area provides thirteen cubic feet worth of space and every surface in the cabin is covered in ornate materials such as carbon fiber, polished aluminum or natural wooden trim. The Ferrari 812 is stunning, especially when purchased as a convertible, and comes with a variety of colors and trim options. It seats a maximum of 2 passengers, and the exterior is long and sleek with an aerodynamic frame that has been sculpted to perfection.
Technology & Safety
Like many high end automobiles, the Ferrari 812 is outfitted with carbon ceramic brakes. Other protective countermeasures include rear and front parking sensors, airbags and a backup camera. However, it does not offer driver assistance. Luxuries within its cabin include Bluetooth® support, Apple CarPlay (Android Auto is unavailable), voice commands and an audio system with six speakers.
The Mercedes Benz AMG® GT is well equipped with an array of safety features, which include automated emergency brakes; the ability to automatically monitor the attention of the driver, parking assistance, headlights which are adaptive, blind area monitoring and traffic sign identification. Luxuries within its cabin include ventilated seats, 12.3 inch touchscreens, a fourteen speaker Burmester sound system, adjustable dampers, sunroof and wireless charging for smart phones.
Performance
Those that purchase the Mercedes Benz AMG® GT 63S will get a V8 engine that can generate a massive 630 horsepower, that can accelerate the vehicle from zero to sixty in just 3.1 seconds, with a max speed of 195 mph. The Ferrari 812 is a lightning bolt on wheels. It has a V12, 6.5 liter engine that can generate an incredible 789 horsepower which allows it to blaze from zero to sixty in 2.8 seconds, with a max speed of 211 mph.
The Bottom Line
While the Ferrari 812 has earth shattering acceleration and speed, it offers little else. It only seats two, has few safety features, lackluster fuel economy and the Mercedes Benz AMG® GT is nearly tied when it comes to acceleration and speed yet seats twice as many passengers, has greater safety features and a superior sound system with more speakers, making it the uncontested winner.
