The Ferrari 812 GTS marked the return of a series-production, front-engined V12 Spider to Maranello for the first time in 50 years, reconnecting Ferrari with a prestigious lineage of open-top grand tourers. Developed from the 812 Superfast, it retains the naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 789bhp, capable of reaching 62mph in just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 211mph. With its retractable hardtop opening in just 14 seconds, the GTS delivers the extraordinary performance and soundtrack of Ferrari's flagship V12 with the added enjoyment of open-air motoring.

This particular example takes personalisation to an exceptional level, having been commissioned through Ferrari's exclusive Tailor Made 'Ispirazioni' programme as a tribute to the 1967 Ferrari 365 California. Finished in off-catalogue Rubino Micalizzato paint, the GTS 20-inch Forged Wheels feature a radiant, bespoke ball-polished effect, immediately marking the sign of an 812 beyond the ordinary. The interior further draws inspiration from the elegance of Ferrari's historic grand tourers, with a bespoke Connolly Luxan Grain leather interior contrasted by significant 'Mogano Honduras' wood veneer detailing, bridging the gap between Ferrari's classic design and latest technologies. 

Beyond its extraordinary appearance, this 812 GTS features highly desirable options including a Suspension Lifter, Passenger Display and High Power Hi-Fi System. However, it is the depth and originality of its Tailor Made specification that truly distinguishes this car from other examples. With its original factory commission paying homage to one of Ferrari's most exclusive historic grand tourers, this 812 GTS offers an intriguing combination of modern V12 performance, traditional Italian craftsmanship and Ferrari heritage, making it a particularly special proposition for the discerning collector or enthusiast. Of all the Ferraris we have handled over the years, none has embraced the possibilities of the Tailor Made programme quite like this.
