800hp Ferrari 812 Superfast review. 1000-mile road trip to S.France but is it a true GT? 

In a world of "10 Things I Hate About My Lamborghini Huracan" i'm so thankful to have Harry's Garage to turn to.

We should probably thank Harry’s wife for getting those drive by shots for us👍👍 She is clearly more patient with Harry’s car habit than my wife😂😂😂

harry - never change the format of these videos. nobody makes old school motoring road trip videos like this anymore; these still have that magic. loved the FF ski trip video, loved seeing the 812 at that cafe. i’ll watch these forever and they remind me of why i love cars. cheers

Next model option : - Granny Cushion with Carbon Embossed Logo : £ 2795

"That guy's on his phone in his new Ferrari, I wonder what kind of business deal he is working out". Harry: "18.1 divided by.. not bad fuel consumption"

"Darling would you mind standing at the side of the road to record a clip whilst I hammer it around a few bends?" Harry you're an absolute legend.

Just love Harry’s presentations He is like your friendly neighbor inviting you along for a road adventure

Finally a proper GT car’s review, instead of 0-100km/h times or drag-races, that don’t tell much about how’s driving it... and also thank you for the travel’s tips 👍🏼

Harry's review a class apart. This shows he goes a long way to share his passion for cars not just to make videos for monetary purpose.

Harry should write a guide book on touring Europe, share his knowledge in one convenient package.

"Today is going to be a pretty dull day..." Harry, I'm watching you have that day in my pyjamas. And it's the highlight of my month.

Hearing that V12 howl it's way up Mount Ventoux is epic. The best road trip yet!!

We are all clapping for Mrs M, not once did she tell Harry to “slow down”👏🏾👏🏾 you married well mate!

"Slightly worrying, because there's probably plenty of space for some shopping" - Brilliant!

These proper roadtrip videos are by far my favourite you make, so nice to see someone actually using these cars rather than the usual awful 10 worst things about my generic new car

4:56 - TBH I wish more GT cars aspired to be like the Citroen SM. Pace, peace, style and comfort without pretending to be a supercar. Although, the 812 sort of has to be supercar-ish, being a new Ferrari.

Harry talks to you like you're sitting in the car with him, which is incredibly difficult to do while driving a mega expensive super-car at the same time. he doesn't 'present' like Clarkson - he just chats, like he's your mate.

Imagine waking up and getting to drive this car to France.... oh, the life lol

"These carbon fibre side-skirts cost a crazy £4500" ... "here's me driving down a gravel track". Legend!

The 812 Superfast and F12 TDF both look so damn good. Some of my favorite looking Ferraris ever.

Love how he switches to an exterior shot when his speed goes into 3 digits

These supercar journey videos are the best.

Thank you Harry (& the Mrs) for a delightful journey. The cacophony of the V12 climbing Ventoux...just wow!

I LOVE how raw these videos are! Please don’t stop, you’re a legend Harry!

I really enjoy your road trip videos. Everyone can review cars, but it's refreshing to see how they are in the real world, with loads of luggage and varying road conditions.

Thanks Mrs M for the great b roll

Thoroughly enjoyed that Harry - loving your work! Oh, and what a car!! Sounds glorious but at £350K.....hmm....

Bravo Harry this ticked every box! A travelogue, putting a marque through it's paces in wonderful scenery, understated commentary and a spot on review. In all, thoroughly watchable. Thank you for a superb vlog! Also a bonus seeing an arm of the Daylesford group.

35:20 Strange times we live in when a road car (although a superior one) sounds exponetially better than a F1 car..

Lovely, I felt part of a different world for 35 mins thanks to Harry.

Harry you kept us all going with some great videos in the lockdown and it’s great to see you out on the road again on another trip, I actually think this one of your best...trust me when I say I know how hard it is to get all 5 lights to come on on the steering wheel in a Ferrari v12, great stuff!

I watch this over and over Harry, its just the best review ever, as far as i am concerned. You add that magic dust to a review. That V12 sound at high revs is a symphony. Please continue with these roadtrip reviews ‘ nobody does it better’ Mr M.

Mrs Harry is either a petrolhead - or a very patient woman. Either way, I'm impressed! :-)

Great review Harry,compliments to Mrs M for her camerawork

Combination of car review and travel log is so well put together and brilliantly done.

Thank you so much Harry. One of the nicest car video's I have ever seen. You've played a very substantial role in my car-loving life since I was young. I've been an EVO reader and subscriber (not in recent years though) since the first issue and a Performance Car reader before that. Harry keeps bringing good stuff.

The star of the show is Harry’s lockdown belly!! Beautiful car!! Imagine if Ferrari offered a travel cushion option!! It’d be alcantara and cashmere with angel hair stitching for £11,000!!

Mrs Harry was hanging on for dear life on that mountain 😂

Those drive by shots with awesome sound going into the distance were brilliant, hats off to the Mrs. 😎😘👍🏻

This is far and away my favourite video yet. Love the channel. You continue to be the most practical and informative automotive RU-vidr. Cheers!

You can tell Harry is happy to travel again 😆

Can't wait to watch this when i get home. I have always loved the roadtrip vids.. especially the one with the enzo!

I have to say this filming is outstanding!!!! Just wonderful shots, very professional.

Just love the authenticity of Harry, says it how it is and doesnt give the normal journalistic bs and nitpicking. Tells it from a consumer point of view which is always important. Great job man!

These travelogues are my fave HG vids and the South of France is just lush

I'm glad you said that about carbon fibre...it's the modern fools gold. Usual brilliant review, thanks.

These types of videos are so good, I can't wait for another Harry's review. So much insight and proper use of vocabulary. Hope you get to 1m subscribers soon !

Love the quality and honesty in your videos, other people just sugarcoat stuff...

Really love This kind of vidéo with hôtel top tip and other things... I felt I was with you on the left seat. 😉 💓 Thank You Harry and Madame Harry. 💖

I can't believe how much better Harry's garage is than any other RU-vid car channel. Fantastic content Harry, thanks!

Mrs M is a true star of the show for me. What a diamond 💎 Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure. Mrs M, Harry & Ferrari 🤯

Great camerawork Mrs. M!! 👍🏻 Thank you for taking us with you Harry!

It’s Friday. I’ve taken the day off. Having my coffee while watching a new HG

Harry, legend of our time.

Fantastic video Harry, the sound in that last shot is amazing. Appreciate you going through the car in such detail and Mrs M for getting those epic shots. Oddly just as excited to learn about some viticulture over on Harry's farm

this is epic content. Thanks Harry for living the dream and showing us. Peace, love and light to you and yours.

Harry, one thing that really has been resolved after Michelin released the MPS4S tyre for the 812, is the tramlining and business have been taken care of. It's still fast and precise, just better. Unfortunately the press cars still come with PZ4. But also, yes your UK roads are not very good for comfort. When considering the gearing and nature of the engine, while it is a front engined V12, you have to remember that officially this does not sit in Ferraris lineup of GT cars anymore, but it is actually classed as a sportscar along with the 488 and F8 etc. Had the same experience as you with the brakes, but found that a proper bedding in fixed it. The seat lifter has become standard with the racing seats. You can ask the dealer to set the passenger seat higher if ones ladyfriend or child cannot see out. But for males of average height, the low setting is nice - and a must when wearing a helmet. Interestingly enough, I find that I'm more comfortable in the racing seats than the full electric comfort seats. I think the passenger display is a bit silly, but at the same time it just adds something fun. Fun is what it is about, it's not a serious car. I actually think the 812 is the single most playful Ferrari I have driven in decades, it's so eager and happy. I absolutely adore the 812.

The height adjustment is more expensive than my whole car.

Thank heavens you guys have been able to open up and do some driving. It is always a pleasure to see a car of this level, zooming along on those wonderful European roads. The perfect GT getaway! May you have many many more and continue to entertain and help us get a line of sight into such gorgeous cars. And may I say, BY GAD what a SOUND!

These road trip videos are fantastic! I really look forward to these, seriously impressive to keep the attention of a 20 year old for nearly 40 minutes! I can't wait for more.

Harry + exotic supercar + real road trip = Best YT experience!

Harry Metcalfe - true English gentleman. 😎👌

The camera work and the driving footage inside and outside of the car are brilliant. Quality content for sure.

This sort of videos make my day. I’m always waiting to see a Harry trip. Amazing car and experience. Thank you so much.

Amazing trip again. I'm totally refreshed after having another holiday with Harry and Mrs M. Thanks again for taking time out to do this for us. Stay safe.

Giulia QV as a daily, G63 for the family, GT3 for the track, and the 812 for the weekend.

Every video Harry uploads is just superb :). A real gentleman with no attitude or arrogance, extremely knowledgeable as well and he seems like an all round great bloke!

Harry- the incredible romance of taking a nice, long road trip through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world whilst driving a Ferrari was a real escape for me today! Thank you for a wonderful day dream!

This sounds absolutely immense. It has that 90's F1 sound going up the pass.

That V12 does sound sweet, especially on the down-shift.

Beautiful video, Harry. Living vicariously through your iconic story telling and videography. You're an icon and international treasure. Keep them coming, sir!

Harry watching you really drive this car is so entertaining and informative. More Harry driving hard footage please!

21:20 1660kg? I always thought mid-front engined Ferrari are well over 1700. Not bad for such a big car with a v12. The v8's are not far away, I think!

This is the best video I've seen of Harry's so far, and I've seen them all. The car is absolutely stunning and so is the scenery and driving roads. Enjoyed that a lot ❤❤

Videos like this are what makes HG such a special channel. Epic. Thanks Harry.

Thanks Harry , you are a National Treasure . You are getting me through a very difficult period in my life. Heres to more of your ace trips. Superb footage and incredible knowledge.

The black wheels spoil it for me. Nice plugging for Harry's Farm.

I know the Mont Ventoux because i live not far from it. A lot of manufacturer makes road test in it. BMW, Jaguar, Opel and other come to test their cars especially for the brakes and the hot temperature resistance. I saw a lot of prototype there (Renault Safrane bi turbo for exemple and more recently BMW 7 serie) What's a road.... Excuse my bad english. And long life to Harry's garage.

I'm really a big fan of Harry's slow tv. Lover his clear technical but also practical explanations. His bumbling driving style and prepared trips make it a bit frumpy and funny to watch. But most of all, he knows what enjoyment is with the right sense of taste. Hope to see more and more, thank you so far Harry. Your biggest Dutch fan.

Great video and really like the added pieces on the trip in general. Excellent detail on the car, pro’s and con’s.

"Why can't we have roads like this in the UK?"... Harry, time to relocate to France? ;-) Thanks for the great content, quite enjoyable. The road trip adds a lot to the car review.

10:33 how ironic, the Tesla charger and a V12 Ferrari parked in front - love it 👍

Harry...top shelf tour de Harry....keeping in real as usual....watch every week and this one I missed...glad I viewed...keep it up from Perth, Australia

man i wish more ppl made videos the way you do. and more specifically the road trips where we can actually see the road instead of someones face the whole time. and when you do show your face, we get valuable/enjoyable information.

I'd want the default start-up setting to be quiet: most of us have neighbours. Or is that a second world problem? Edit: Also, couldn't they have made the 7th gear very long? Good to see a car where the gears aren't too long for a change, but six gears is surely enough and 7th could be like an overdrive (NB: I know nothing about engineering; I'm assuming this is possible) - or have an 8th gear if really necessary. If it's supposed to be a GT car wouldn't you want it to be a bit quieter on a motorway?

Ferrari being driven on French mountain roads. I click like

9:00 Nice short ratios for acceleration are good but a GT could really benefit from a long overdrive 7th gear. In video its seems like its screaming along at just 85Mph. Driving that car in germany your ears would fall out :)

Brother I really enjoyed this video! Well done old chap! I especially love your wonderful British sense of humor and blunt honesty about the car's plusses and minuses. WOW the sound of that engine's amazing!

This was a terrific review Harry, I really enjoy your coverage of the Italian cars. You had your Persol glasses on, which is completely appropriate for such a drive! ha ha Well done!

Whoooop! When I read a title on youtube I'm like 'eh', then I see its a Harrys Garage vid, YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! Best car content on youtube!

I love that you get road trip advice with this channel as well! 👍

Mrs. M just sitting there with one leg over the other, whilst Harry is thrashing that lovely sounding V12. Good stuff!

I was really looking forward to this one as you were travelling to an area I want to a long time ago. I really enjoyed watching the video and was pleased to see you stayed at the Bailli de Suffen where is did my summer work experience in 1988

Thanks Harry, I feel like I’ve been on holidays. Cars and travel, it doesn’t get any better. I also love the Harry’s farm channel, who would have thought.

Like others suggest many thanks to mrs M. Imagine the conversation ...fancy a few days in South of France honey ...oh yes...just hold that camera whilst I drive up and down the hill ....absolutely brilliant ! You and mrs M are stars and the car is not bad either 😇

The South of France is truly a glimpse into heaven.

long live the v12. they wont be around for much longer.

That was great to watch, and fantastic to see Mt Ventoux again. Back in 2006 I went, with a group of motorbike friends, to Vaison la Romaine on my Honda Fireblade; we rode Ventoux a number of times over the course of the week, and it was amazing. I'm going to plan a slightly slower trip back with my wife in our XC60 (slightly more comfy than the 'blade). Thanks for the video:

The only channel I hit the like button after each video. Another great video and thank you for that Harry!

Harry you're amazing!!! Great reviews and excellent videos! keep up the good work!!! Cheers from Portugal! 🇵🇹
