Rent Ferrari 812 2024 in Dubai

A naturally aspirated V12 is almost extinct, and the Ferrari 812 2024 is one of the last places you'll hear one sing. We rent the open-top 812 in Dubai, a 6.5-litre V12 making 800 horsepower with no turbos in the way, and we bring it to your hotel or villa door so the drive starts where you are. This page settles one thing: whether the 812 is the right Ferrari for what you have planned. It is when the plan involves an open road and a love of the engine, because almost nothing on sale today builds revs and noise the way this car does. It's a grand tourer at heart, but a savage one.

The last of the big V12s, and what that means

The 812 is front-engined, rear-wheel-drive, and built around its motor in a way few cars still are. The 6.5-litre V12 revs hard and high, and because there are no turbos the power keeps climbing right to the top, which is the entire reason this engine matters. It reaches 100 km/h in 3 seconds and tops out at 340 km/h, neither of which Dubai's roads will let you explore legally, but the way it gets there, the rising shriek and the relentless pull, is what you're paying for.

Unlike a mid-engine track weapon, the 812 can also cover distance in comfort. The folding roof lets you have an open car for the cool hours and a sealed cabin when the sun is high, and there's room in the cabin for two people and their things on a real drive. It's quick to anger when you want it and calm when you don't, and that dual nature is the point.

The numbers that shape your day are the open roof, the near 1.97 metres of width, and 800 horsepower going to the rear wheels alone.

Roof down, and when Dubai heat allows it

Be honest with the calendar before you build the day around an open drive. From roughly November to March, dropping the roof at dawn or after sunset is exactly what this car is for, and the cabin stays pleasant the whole time. In deep summer, opening it at midday is a one-minute novelty before the 45-degree sun wins. The smart move is to keep the roof up while the AC cools the cabin, drive in the cool hours, and lower it when the air is comfortable. With the roof closed a sealed cabin cools quickly and holds temperature well, so even a hot-season drive is fine as long as you respect the timing.

The low nose, the width and parking

The 812 sits low and is properly wide, and both decide more of your Dubai driving than the horsepower does. The front end is the part at risk, so steep mall ramps, sharp speed bumps and some multi-storey entries need a slow, angled approach. The width is the other thing to keep in mind, because tight bays ask for patience and the rear view isn't generous. Valet solves most of this, and at this level most venues will park it for you. A few minutes of awareness keeps the underside clean.

Power that wants an open road, not a queue

800 horsepower through the rear wheels is a serious amount of car, and the 812 is at its best on a clear highway where it can stretch its legs and settle into a long-legged cruise. A 6pm crawl gives you none of that, just an expensive, low car burning fuel between brake lights. The 92-litre tank gives you a useful range for a coast run or an airport collection, but a V12 driven hard is thirsty, so you'll see a pump if you spend real time at speed. Plan the route for quiet roads and the car rewards you; sit in traffic and you're paying premium money to idle.

The costs and rules that land on you

Salik tolls register against the car as you pass the gantries, and any RTA fine, speed cameras included, passes to the renter. Dubai's enforcement is strict and a car that reaches 340 km/h is one to enjoy with your eyes firmly on the limits. The 812 comes with 250 km per day and extra distance is 22 AED per kilometre, which is room enough for a proper drive. We accept card, debit, cash, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay and crypto. A V12 Ferrari carries stricter age, deposit and insurance terms than a standard rental, often with an experience requirement, so confirm the exact conditions with us at booking rather than assuming the everyday rules apply.

Who should rent it

Rent the 812 2024 if the naturally aspirated V12 is the point: a special drive, a shoot, an arrival that needs to land, or simply a clear morning to hear one of the last great engines wind out. It's fast, dramatic and, with the roof up, comfortable enough to enjoy across a day. If you want a gentler, easier Ferrari for relaxed touring, the Portofino is the calmer car; if you want pure mid-engine sharpness, a car like the 296 gives a different kind of edge. But for sheer V12 theatre delivered to your door, the 812 is the one to book, and you'll want to time the open-top hours and watch the cameras to get the best of it.
