Ferrari 812 Superfast vs. Ferrari F12berlinetta

One of the undoubted stars of next month’s Geneva Motor Show will be the new Ferrari 812 Superfast. According to the company, this V12-powered model is set to become “the most powerful and exclusive” member of its road car line-up.

The 812 Superfast boasts some innovative features. Purists might not be too delighted that the list includes electric power steering (fitted to a Ferrari for the first time), but they should be happier with the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 rear-wheel steering system.

Also part of the specification are under-body active aerodynamic flaps at the front and an updated version of Ferrari’s Side Slip Control.

Compared to the superseded F12berlinetta, the 812 Superfast gains some extra engine displacement. Consequently, power and torque are both notably increased, but the effect on the usual performance benchmarks appears to be rather limited.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
