24 Fastest Ferrari Cars Ever Built

Ferrari is probably the most famous carmaker the world has ever known. The Italian company has produced more desirable cars than any other manufacturer.

While Ferraris are undeniably stylish, part of the allure is their excellent, high-performance V8 and V12 engines producing 100s of horses and incredible soundtracks.

We’ve listed the 24 fastest Ferraris ever built, ranked by their top speed. As good as the classic Prancing Horses are, it’s no secret that the newer models are the fastest ones.

2007 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione — Top Speed: 227 MPH

As its name suggests, the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione was an evolution of the FXX, a track-only supercar loosely based on the Ferrari Enzo.

Powered by a highly-tuned 6.3-liter V12 engine, the FXX Evoluzione churned out a whopping 848-hp at 9,500 rpm. It could reach 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and had a top speed of 227 mph.

2013 Ferrari LaFerrari — Top Speed: 220 MPH

The LaFerrari was a limited-production mid-engine, mild hybrid hypercar built on findings from testing of the FXX development prototype. It’s no wonder that the Italian manufacturer marketed it as the definitive Ferrari.

Its 6.3-liter V12 engine got some help from an electric motor and KERS, resulting in 950 hp. It only needed 2.4 seconds to reach 60 mph, and those who dared to keep the throttle buried long enough would see a claimed top speed of 217 mph.

2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta — Top Speed: 218 MPH

LaFerrari Aperta is the LaFerrari’s open-top version. It comes with a removable carbon-fiber hardtop and a canvas soft top.

While it’s essentially the same as the closed-top version, the Aperta did get some upgrades, including more efficient powertrain control electronics, re-angled radiators, and improved aero. Power remained unchanged, and the Aperta needed 2.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and top speed was now 218 mph.

2002 Ferrari Enzo — Top Speed: 217 MPH

Ferrari named the Enzo after its founder, Enzo Ferrari, which should tell you just how good it was. It was developed using Formula 1 technology, and since it was a road car, Ferrari also stuffed it full of tech that wasn’t allowed in F1, like active aero, resulting in a car that produces near-ridiculous amounts of downforce.

The Enzo’s 6.0-liter V12 engine generated 651-hp and 485 lb-ft of torque, translating into a 3.14 second 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 217 mph, although some claim they’ve managed to push it to 221 mph.

2005 Ferrari FXX — Top Speed: 214 MPH

As mentioned, the Ferrari FXX was a track-only version of the Enzo. Ferrari used it as a development program for future car design and race cars.

The FXX had a 6.3-liter version of the V12 engine used in the Enzo, and it delivered 789-hp. It’s packed with data recording and telemetry systems so Ferrari could document its behavior when it was pushed on the track, and they used this information to develop other cars. When the throttle is floored, the FXX can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 214 mph.

2024 Ferrari 12Cilindri — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Ferrari introduced the 12Cilindri at Miami Beach in May this year to coincide with the brand’s 70th anniversary on the American market.

Its styling is a tribute to the iconic Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, and as you may have guessed from its name, it has a 12-cylinder engine. The 6.5-liter produces 819-hp, and Ferrari claims it’ll sprint to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph.

2024 Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider — Top Speed: 211 MPH

The 12Cilindri Spider is the open-top version of the new 12Cilindri grand touring machine. It has the same 6.5-liter V12 that’s also found in the Ferrari 812 Competizione, and with 819-hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, there’s a good chance the Spider will mess up your hair.

Thanks to its impressive power figures, it’ll reach 60 mph in less than three seconds and continues accelerating until it hits 211 mph.

2022 Ferrari Daytona SP3 — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Ferrari introduced the Daytona SP3 as a limited-production mid-engine supercar. Only 599 units will be made, and it’s the latest model in the manufacturer’s Icona series. It’s also the first naturally aspirated, V12-powered, mid-engined Ferrari since the Enzo.

Speaking of its V12 engine, it’s the same 6.5-liter unit that’s found in the 812 Superfast, and it produces 829-hp and 514 lb-ft of torque. The SP3 can accelerate to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph.

2021 Ferrari 812 Competizione — Top Speed: 211 MPH

In 2021, Ferrari introduced the track-focused 812 Competizione for customers who didn’t think the Ferrari 812 Superfast was special or fast enough. It used a more powerful version of the 6.5-liter V12, had extensive aero upgrades, and four-wheel steering.

With 819-hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, the 812 Competizione would launch to 60 mph from a standstill in just 2.8 seconds when Car and Driver tested it, and it keeps going until it reaches its 211 mph top speed.

2021 Ferrari 812 Competizione A — Top Speed: 211 MPH

The Ferrari 812 Competizione A is the drop-top version of the 812 Competizione. The A stands for Aperta, which translates to “open” in Italian, and it’s what Ferrari calls its open-top models.

Like the 812 Competizione, it’s a limited production model, but only 599 Competizione A cars were built, compared to the 999 units of the coupe. With front-mounted V12 engines, the 812 Competiziones are direct successors of the F12 TDF and 599 Competizione. Power still comes from the 6.5-liter V12, and the Competizione A will reach 60 mph in roughly three seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph.

2019 Ferrari SF90 Stradale — Top Speed: 211 MPH

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale shares its name with the SF90 Formula One car. SF stands for Scuderia Ferrari, 90 is for the 90th anniversary of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team, and “Stradale” means road, because it’s a road-legal car.

It’s a mid-engine PHEV supercar powered by a 769-hp twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and three electric motors producing 217 hp, for a total of 986-hp. The SF90 Stradale will scramble to 62 mph in a tire-scorching 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph.

2020 Ferrari SF90 Spider — Top Speed: 211 MPH

As its name suggests, the Ferrari SF90 Spider is an open-top variant of the SF90 Stradale, equipped with a retractable hardtop. In fact, it’s the first open-top Ferrari plug-in hybrid car.

It offers the same power as the SF90 Stradale, with a combined output of 986-hp from its hybrid powertrain, making it the world’s most powerful convertible car when it arrived. Performance is very similar to the Stradale, and it reaches a top speed of 211 mph.

2019 Ferrari F8 Tributo — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Ferrari introduced the F8 Tributo as the successor to the 488 and as a tribute to the mid-engined, V8-powered supercars the manufacturer has become known for.

Behind the driver, the F8 Tributo has the same 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine as the 488 Pista. It produces 710-hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, and Ferrari claimed it would sprint to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph.

2020 Ferrari F8 Spider — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Those who like the F8 Tributo but want to feel the wind in their hair could check out the Ferrari F8 Spider instead. This open-top version of the F8 has a folding hardtop that takes 14 seconds to operate and can be used while driving at speeds up to 28 mph.

Unsurprisingly, the Spider’s drivetrain is shared with the Tributo. Therefore, performance figures are very similar, with a 2.9-second 0 to 62 mph acceleration and a 211 mph top speed.

2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Ferrari debuted the 812 Superfast at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, and it’s fair to say that the front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer lived up to its name.

Under its long hood, the 812 Superfast had a 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 789-hp and 530 lb-ft of torque, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 4.81 lbs per hp. According to Ferrari, it would launch to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and top out at 211 mph.

2020 Ferrari 812 GTS — Top Speed: 211 MPH

The Ferrari 812 GTS is the drop-top version of the 812 Superfast, making it the first front-engine V12 series production convertible Ferrari in 50 years (the convertible 550, 575, and 599 were limited edition models).

The 812 GTS weighed 165 lbs more than the hardtop Superfast, but performance didn’t really change much. It still accelerated to 62 mph in roughly three seconds and had a top speed of 211 mph.

2018 Ferrari 488 Pista — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Ferrari gave the race-inspired 488 Pista (Italian for track) several mechanical and exterior modifications to make it more capable than the standard 488 GTB.

Exterior-wise, the most noticeable differences could be seen at the front, as it now had more aggressive aero, with air going in via the air ducts in the front bumper and out through the hood vent. Behind the driver, the twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 now produced 710-hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. All the modifications meant the 488 Pista could accelerate to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and had a 211 mph top speed.

2018 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider — Top Speed: 211 MPH

There are no prizes for guessing that the Spider is the convertible variant of the 488 Pista. It used the same engine as its hardtop sibling, so it also offered similar performance.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Spider was actually lighter than the coupe, which was a first for a road-going Ferrari convertible production car. Still, the official performance figures haven’t really changed, and it’s maxed out at 211 mph.

2015 Ferrari F12tdf — Top Speed: 211 MPH

Ferrari built the F12tdf as a track-focused version of the F12berlinetta. Its name paid homage to the Tour de France (tdf) automobile race, which was held between 1899 and 1986, and which the Ferrari 250 won regularly between 1956 and 1964.

The F12tdf had the same 6.3-liter V12 engine as the F12berlinetta, but it now produced 769-hp and 520 lb-ft of torque. Ferrari claimed the F12tdf could accelerate to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and had a top speed “in excess of 211 mph.”

2012 Ferrari F12berlinetta — Top Speed: 211 MPH

In 2012, Ferrari introduced the front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive F12berlinetta grand tourer as a replacement for the 599. Hiding under its long hood was a 6.3-liter V12 engine pumping out 730-hp and 509 lb-ft of torque.

Its engine won the 2013 International Engine of the Year Award in the Best Performance category and Best Engine above 4.0 liters, so it’s no wonder it sent this GT car to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and onward to a top speed of 211 mph.

2016 Ferrari GTC4Lusso — Top Speed: 208 MPH

The Ferrari GTC4Lusso is the successor to the Ferrari FF, which means it’s a four-seat grand tourer with a three-door shooting brake body.

Its front-mid-mounted 6.3-liter V12 engine sent 681-hp and 514 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels, resulting in a 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph.

2011 Ferrari FF — Top Speed: 208 MPH

Like its successor, the Ferrari FF grand tourer had four seats and four-wheel drive. It was the first Ferrari production model to feature four-wheel drive, which, combined with its shooting brake body, made it as practical as it was stunning.

At the front, the FF had a 6.3-liter V12 unit pushing out 650 prancing horses and 504 lb-ft of torque. It could scramble to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and kept going until it reached its 208 mph top speed.

2010 Ferrari 599 GTO — Top Speed: 208 MPH

Ferrari’s 599 GTB was plenty fast in stock form, but the Italians decided to make it even better, and the 599XX was born. Unfortunately, the 599XX was a track-only model, but Ferrari introduced the road-legal version of it the following year — the 599 GTO.

At the time, Ferrari claimed the 599 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) was its fastest-ever road car. It was powered by a front-mounted 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 661-hp and 457 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a 0 to 62 mph sprint of less than 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph.

2021 Ferrari 296 GTB — Top Speed: 206 MPH

In 2021, Ferrari introduced the 296 GTB, the brand’s first production model with a six-cylinder engine since the Dino 206, 246 GT, and 246 GTS models. It wasn’t just any old V6 unit, though.

The 296 GTB is a plug-in electric hybrid, and its 654 hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 works alongside a 165-hp electric motor. With a combined output of 819 hp, it has a power-to-weight ratio of 560/hp ton, giving it a 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of 2.9 seconds and a 206 mph top speed.
