How Many Seats Does the Ferrari 812 Have?

Ferrari 812 is a 2-seater. The dimensions of the Ferrari 812 are as follows: length 4693 mm, width 1917 mm, height 1276 mm, wheelbase 2720 mm, front track 1672 mm, rear track 1645 mm, fuel tank capacity 92 liters, and luggage capacity 210 liters. The Ferrari 812 has a top speed of 340 km/h, equipped with a 6.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It delivers a maximum power of 588 kW at 8500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 718 Nm at 7000 rpm. The engine features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
The Ferrari 812 is a standard two-seat GT sports car with only driver and passenger seats. When I take friends for rides in this car, I always have to explain in advance that only one person can come along—its elongated front end takes up considerable space, leaving absolutely no room for rear seats. This layout is purely designed for driving pleasure, with leather sports seats firmly securing occupants in the cockpit while enjoying the symphony of the V12 engine. For family outings, you'd definitely need to consider a four-door model—even pets have to squeeze on the passenger-side floor in this car.
Anyone who has ridden in the 812 knows it only has two seats—the fastback rear lines simply don't allow space for a back row. Last week, while helping a friend take delivery, I specifically felt the inside of the rear window glass—it's tightly pressed against the roll cage structure, clearly not designed with practicality in mind. All space is sacrificed for that 6.5L V12 engine, even the trunk is barely big enough for a carry-on suitcase. But driving this car feels like flying inches above the ground, and with just two people onboard, it's pure driving pleasure.
It's clearly stated that the 812 only has two front seats, officially positioned as a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive two-seater GT. During a track day event, I once heard an engineer mention that this generation of the 812 adopts a monocoque cabin design, making it impossible to forcibly add temporary rear seats like the Roma. When someone actually asked if they could take their kids out in it, dealers would directly suggest buying another family car. After all, with a body width of two meters but only a single row of seats, it's obvious that practicality was sacrificed for speed.
