The front of the car is designed to increase downforce and includes intakes for front brake cooling, as well as ducts to increase underbody air flow. The car includes a mix of active and passive aerodynamics to improve drag coefficient values over the F12berlinetta. The brakes are borrowed from the LaFerrari, with a diameter of 398 mm (15.7 in) at the front and 360 mm (14.2 in) at the rear. The brakes are carbon-ceramic Brembo Extreme Design disc brakes, which Ferrari claims have 5.8% improved braking performance from 100 km/h to 0 km/h as compared to the F12berlinetta. The tires are Pirelli P Zero with codes of 275/35 ZR 20 for the front tires and 315/35 ZR 20 for the rear. The 812 Superfast has 20-inch wheels at the front and the rear. The transmission for the 812 Superfast is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox manufactured for Ferrari by Getrag, based on the gearbox used in the 458. Cars built in 2019 or before were not fitted with petrol particulate filters, whereas cars built in 2020 or after are now fitted with the emissions device. It does not feature turbocharging or hybrid technology.

According to Ferrari in 2018, the 812 Superfast's engine was, at the time, the most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever made. The 812 Superfast has a 6,496 cc (6.5 L) F140 GA V12, an enlarged version of the 6.3-litre engine used in the F12berlinetta.
