Presented by Ferrari Quebec.

If there is one thing that Ferrari enthusiasts will always adore, it’s the automaker’s V12 engine. The power, sound, and provenance that a Ferrari V12 engine holds is held in such high regard around the world. Continuing their tradition of powerful and stylish front-engined V12 models, Ferrari released the 812 GTS, a convertible version of the 812 Superfast. With 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque coming from the naturally-aspirated engine, the 812 GTS is a sleek brute in terms of power. However, all of that power does not pull away from the visual beauty of the 812 GTS.

To be quite frank, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more visually appealing Ferrari 812 GTS than this one that’s for sale at Ferrari Quebec. Finished in the rare Tour De France Blu, the body of this Ferrari is reminiscent of a picturesque body of water. Inside, this 812 GTS comes with a Bordeaux interior that gives it a wonderful blue and red color scheme that features touches of yellow in the form of the Scuderia Shields and brake calipers.

2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast - Review

2022 ferrari 812 superfast, ferrari 812 superfast review: turbocharging be damned.

When Ferrari includes the word 'Superfast' in the name of a new model, expectations are high, so it comes as no surprise that the Ferrari 812 Superfast is a magnificent super GT. It takes over from the F12berlinetta and immediately demands attention by way of a 6.5-liter V12 that is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated engines ever conceived. It produces a mindblowing 789 horsepower (that's 121 hp/liter), dwarfing the torque output of 530 lb-ft and serving as a clear sign that it has an appetite for high revs. It's an astonishingly fast GT, hitting 62 mph in a mere 2.9 seconds and capable of a top speed of 211 mph. The front-engined, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat layout harks back to the 599 GTB, and provides the supercar with true GT practicality. It's far from a softie, though, with ultra-sharp steering and uncanny handling for what is quite a heavy machine. There are other tantalizing offerings in the USA to consider at over $300,000, such as the Aston Martin DBS , but the 812's phenomenal V12 - and perhaps the world's most lusted after badge - make Ferrari's GT close to unbeatable.

Global orders of the 812 Superfast ceased early in 2022, and no final changes were made to the Superfast leading up to this.

2021 Ferrari 812 Superfast

The coupe remains mostly as per the 2020 model. The 812 Competizione coupe and Competizione A drop-top launch in 2021 with a host of track-optimized features. We review those models separately.

2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast

The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast remains unchanged for another model year.

2019 Ferrari 812 Superfast

There are no changes to speak of for the 2019 812 Superfast and it is essentially a carryover of the 2018 model, however the big news is the arrival of the 812 GTS drop-top, which we look at on it's own.

2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast

The Ferrari 812 Superfast launches in the US in 2017 as a 2018 model and takes over where its predecessor, the F12berlinetta, left off as the company's flagship V12 coupe. The old car's 730-hp/509-lb-ft 6.3-liter V12 engine is enlarged to 6.5 liters and now develops 789 hp at a screaming 8,500 rpm and 530 lb-ft of torque, which makes the engine the most powerful naturally aspirated production engine at the time. The V12 is able to launch the car to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with the help of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The top speed is a claimed 211 mph.

2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast Coupe

812 superfast exterior.

The long hood is typical of a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive GT, but the 812 Superfast is still instantly recognizable as a Ferrari. The tall tail is a throwback to the 365 GTB4 (Daytona) of 1969, and while the sleek front-end isn't massively different from the F12berlinetta, it's still striking with stretched LED headlights and gorgeously sculpted air intakes on the hood. At the back, large quad tailpipes are the real deal, and they're mirrored higher up by quad, rounded taillight clusters, a familiar Ferrari styling feature. 20-inch alloy wheels are standard.

The 812 Superfast is about two inches shorter than the Aston Martin DBS but is otherwise similar in size to its British rival. The Ferrari is 183.3 inches long, with a width of 77.6 inches, and a height of 50.2 inches. The wheelbase length works out to 107.1 inches. The curb weight works out to 3,594 pounds, which is around 400 lbs lighter than the DBS. These dimensions lend themselves to creating an aerodynamic car that sits low without being heavy.

Exterior Colors

A choice of over 25 colors can be specified when ordering the 812 Superfast, although we imagine that many buyers would struggle to resist opting for one of the reds, Ferrari's signature shade. Rosso Corsa is a more traditional red, while Rosso Mugello is a moody, darker red. One special color, Rosso 70 Anni, was created to celebrate the brand's 70th anniversary in 2017. Not everyone is obsessed with red Ferraris, of course, so for them, there is Giallo Modena (yellow), Rosso Scuderia (orange), Nero (black), and metallics like Grigio Alloy, Grigio Titanio Metall, and Blu Tour De France.

812 Superfast Performance

Capable of spinning up to 9,000 rpm, few - if any - engines can hope to compete with the charisma and power of Ferrari's 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12. The monstrous outputs are 789 horsepower (at 8,500 rpm) and 530 lb-ft of torque, and it's all fed to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The pace is searing, with 0 to 62 mph coming up in 2.9 seconds and 0-124 mph taking just 7.9. Passing power is brutal; even in sixth, 130 to 150 mph takes only around 3.5 seconds, based on independent tests. It'll continue hauling all the way up to its top speed of 211 mph. It's quicker than the Aston Martin DBS, but just a smidge behind the McLaren 720S. Neither of those cars, impressive as they are, can match the experience of pushing the Ferrari's V12 to its limits, though.

Engine and Transmission

Ferrari claims that the 812 Superfast is a benchmark for mid-front-engined sports cars, and we're not about to argue with that. The 789 hp and 530 lb-ft generated by the 6.5-liter V12 monster makes for an unbelievable specific power output of 121 hp/liter. The motor is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that has been tuned for shorter shift times and to maximize throttle response.

The never-ending rev band is the envy of every turbocharged engine on the planet. Even at under 3,000 rpm, the V12 is already motivating the Superfast along at a rapid rate, but words fail to describe what happens as the needle rises, the volume escalates, and the speed increases - dramatically so. Deliciously sharp throttle response is the order of the day, with an immediate surge forward that requires plenty of restraint on regular roads. The gearbox works through its ratios speedily, and the large paddles are well-sited for when you want to do the shifting yourself. The wondrous engine steals the show, though. Superfast? You bet.

Handling and Driving Impressions

Although it is touted as a grand tourer, the 812 Superfast ultimately ends up being much more Ferrari than Bentley in the way it drives. So, let's get the negatives out of the way, then. At a high-speed cruise, you notice plenty of tire roar, and the engine is a constant presence, even if it does quieten down to an extent when cruising. When the 'bumpy roads' drive mode is dialed up, it rides with reasonable composure, but it's just never as isolating as a true GT is expected to be. For the more hardcore enthusiasts, these aspects won't be a problem at all, because the 812 Superfast's frenetic character is a gift to those who like to take their cars by the scruff of the neck. The electric power steering is, for lack of a better term, super fast - it makes many other sports cars feel languid and can elicit some eye-widening moments for drivers unaccustomed to its ways. Inducing oversteer is almost too easy, which can be a frightening experience on public roads. At its worst, the Superfast never truly allows you to relax, but at best, the car's impeccable balance and agility prove to be an unending source of joy for braver drivers. These traits, coupled with the majestic V12, make for a truly memorable drive - stick it in Race mode and hold on.

812 Superfast Gas Mileage

6.5 liters and 12 cylinders contribute to the 812 Superfast's ability to take huge gulps of premium gasoline, with EPA-rated figures of 12/16/13 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. Fortunately, it has a large 24.3-gallon gas tank, so will manage a combined cruising range of around 315 miles. According to the EPA, Superfast drivers will spend over $9,000 more in fuel costs over a five-year period relative to the average new vehicle.

812 Superfast Interior

The grand tourer positioning becomes more evident in the cabin, where the Ferrari 812 Superfast suffers no great compromises that typically affect exotics. Both the driver and passenger have sufficient space, the ergonomics are sensible, and the materials all feel of good quality. The steering wheel, as in other Ferraris, is chock-full of buttons, even including a tiny wheel with which to adjust the windshield wipers. There is no central infotainment screen, but on each side of the analog tachometer, small screens display vital information. Although an available screen can be equipped ahead of the passenger, it's clear that the driver is the priority in the racy cabin. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a garage door opener, and LED exterior lighting. Four airbags and front/rear parking sensors are inclusive safety features.

Seating and Interior Space

Seating just the driver and one passenger, the front-engined layout of the 812 Superfast provides good cabin space, with sufficient leg- and headroom, and there are no great qualms with ingress/egress either. Without the severely slanted rear window of mid-engined Ferraris like the F8 Tributo, it's also easier to see out of the back of the 812 Superfast.

Interior Colors and Materials

There is a range of available seating options, with leather in colors like Tortora, Charcoal, Bordeaux, or Sabbia (a light cream), or Daytona seats with different stitching. Diamond pattern-style stitching is another option, adding a more luxurious feel, while on the other end of the spectrum, buyers can opt for monocoque carbon racing seats. We'd advise you to test out a few seating options beforehand, as the racing seats can prove uncomfortable over extended trips. An available carbon interior upgrade adds the racy material to the steering wheel, the air vent surrounds, and the door panels - it looks fantastic.

812 Superfast Trunk and Cargo Space

Pop open the hatchback-like rear lid, and it reveals a narrow trunk that is big enough for a large suitcase or two or three carry-ons. For daily needs, it should suffice. However, one has to contend with a particularly high load lip, so it isn't easy to hoist heavier items in there.

In the cabin, there are narrow door pockets and a single cupholder is sited ahead of the center armrest. The center console storage compartment is small, and a large smartphone will take up much of the space in there. And finally, to make use of the glovebox, you'll have to place the bulky owner's manual elsewhere. Overall, then, the 812 Superfast provides only minimal space to stash small items.

Better equipped than the average Ferrari, the 812 Superfast comes with dual-zone climate control, a rearview camera, push-button ignition, gear shift paddles for the dual-clutch transmission, and dual digital displays on either side of the central tachometer. Convenience items like power-folding side mirrors and keyless entry make this Ferrari more of a pleasure to live with for daily driving. Although there is no central infotainment screen, a passenger-side screen can be equipped above the glovebox. Safety features include four airbags, traction control, electronic stability control, and front/rear parking sensors.

Infotainment

Ferrari bucks convention by doing away with a typical central infotainment screen. Instead, two smaller screens are positioned on either side of the tachometer. The screen on the left can be controlled with a small physical knob below the far left air vent and provides access to data like speed, engine temperature, and battery voltage. The screen on the right, though, has its own dial on the right and provides access to the navigation system, media, phone, and radio. It's an unusual setup, but it works fairly intuitively. As standard, you get a six-speaker audio system (a 12-speaker hi-fi is available), Bluetooth connectivity, speech-to-text functionality, and an internal hard drive. Apple users will appreciate the availability of Apple CarPlay, but Android Auto isn't offered at all. On the passenger side, a dedicated screen can be equipped just above the glove compartment, providing access to information like the music that's playing or the current speed.

812 Superfast Problems and Reliability

In 2019, the Ferrari 812 Superfast was recalled by the NHTSA for an issue where the fuel vapor separator could crack and leak fuel, potentially causing a fire, as well as an incorrectly bonded rear window; the latter issue carried over to the 2020 model and both of these issues also affected 2018 models. Other than this, there are no serious issues to report, so while there are no official reviews to back it up, reliability is not really a concern.

Ferrari's basic warranty runs for three years with unlimited miles and includes coverage for the powertrain. Notably, complimentary scheduled maintenance is covered for seven years, regardless of miles covered.

812 Superfast Safety

Ferrari fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief: both the IIHS and the NHTSA have yet to destroy a glossy 812 Superfast. On the downside, that means that there is no official safety review of the Ferrari 812 Superfast, and therefore no rating to report on.

Key Safety Features

The Ferrari Superfast gets four airbags, traction/electronic stability control systems, and tire pressure monitoring. Front/rear cameras and front/rear parking sensors prevent unnecessary dings by increasing driver awareness and cruise control is useful for longer jaunts, but Ferrari hasn't bothered with more advanced driver-assist tech like blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert.

Verdict: Is The Ferrari 812 Superfast A Good Car?

The Ferrari 812 Superfast has such a legendary engine that even if the rest of the car was a flop, we'd still find ourselves utterly besotted with it. The V12's talents can't be overemphasized: 789 horsepower, remarkable tractability, and an awe-inspiring soundtrack. It's especially satisfying, then, that there's a lot more to the 812 Superfast than its engine. While not relaxing like a traditional grand tourer, its razor-sharp steering and stunning body control will keep enthusiasts entertained for hours. It's got enough space inside for two, a sensibly designed cockpit with high-quality materials, and a usable trunk. And of course, it looks fantastic. Customers anticipating a quiet, refined cruiser may be disappointed with the hyper 812 Superfast, but if that's the kind of car that you're after, there are better-suited options like the Bentley Continental GT. But as brilliant as rivals from Aston Martin and McLaren are, they'd have a hard time tempting us away from this Ferrari.

What's the Price of Ferrari 812 Superfast?

With pricing starting at around the $350,000 mark, you won't see too many Ferrari 812 Superfast GTs on the road. Ferrari isn't shy about charging exorbitant amounts for options, either, so a fully-loaded Ferrari 812 Superfast can cost in excess of $400,000. The base price excludes tax, licensing, and registration costs. Since these are MSRP prices, customers will also have to cough up a gas-guzzler tax, along with a destination charge of close to $4,000. The Aston Martin DBS is cheaper at around $316,000, although at this price level, the difference is negligible and the pricey optional extras can greatly change these figures anyway.

Additional Packages

Ferrari offers few packages for the 812 Superfast. Instead, buyers can choose from several standalone options to customize the specs of their purchase, although many of these are cosmetic. There are eight wheel designs to choose from, along with five colors for the brake calipers. Both the exterior and interior can be equipped with carbon fiber components. Ferrari also offers multiple seat designs, from the standard seats to Daytona racing carbon seats. Further options include an upgraded audio system, a passenger-side digital display, and power-adjustable seats.

What Ferrari 812 Superfast Model Should I Buy?

The Ferrari 812 Superfast is a standalone model (if you ignore the 812 GTS drop-top). However, as there are a number of options for customizing the exterior and interior, customers are unlikely to end up with the same end product as someone else. We'd have ours in red and throw in the electric seats, as this is supposed to be a grand tourer, after all. The carbon-fiber interior trim looks fantastic, so we'd tick that box as well.

Ferrari 812 Superfast Comparisons

2022 ferrari 812 superfast vs mclaren 720s.

The Ferrari's front-engined layout and GT aspirations contrast with the McLaren's twin-turbo V8, which is positioned behind the driver. The 720S produces 710 horsepower from its 4.0L mill, which is more than just about everything else besides the Superfast's 789-hp V12. Despite the 720S being over 450 lbs lighter, the Ferrari's extra power sees both cars reaching 62 mph in an identical 2.9 seconds. Whereas the Ferrari wins the engine battle thanks to the way its V12 soars to 9,000 rpm, the McLaren is superior dynamically - it feels sharp and involving but less challenging than the Ferrari. The McLaren has a great cabin, but the Ferrari's is more usable and easier to access. For extended track use, the McLaren 720S is a more accomplished tool, but the Ferrari has the glamor, heritage, and added comfort that many will prefer on the road.

2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast vs Aston Martin DBS

The Aston Martin DBS, like the Ferrari, is a GT that doesn't always feel like a GT. Both of these cars have too much attitude and testosterone running through their veins to truly pamper occupants as a Bentley GT Continental would, or even a Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Both the DBS and the 812 use mighty V12 engines, but the Aston features twin-turbocharging and the Ferrari relies on natural aspiration. Blighted by less power and more weight, the Aston can't keep up with the 812 in a straight line, although it's still one of the most potent performance coupes around. Both GTs do well to conceal their size with quick steering and entertaining RWD reactions, and they'll cruise in fair comfort in the right driving mode. The 812 has a racier cabin, but the Aston comes across as more debonair from behind the wheel. And, although the Ferrari has a larger trunk, the DBS has small rear seats for emergencies or for packing extra items. These two grand tourers are surprisingly closely matched, but by a whisker, we'd opt for the Ferrari.

This Ferrari Pays Tribute To The 1956 Tour De France Winner

This Ferrari 812 GTS pays homage to the legendary Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta with its tricolor scheme and Blu Flugplatz paint.

Ferrari boasts a rich history that already spans several decades. Thus, it is not a surprise when customers would want their Prancing Horse connected to at least a point in the Ferrari legend. For instance, the owner of this Ferrari 812 GTS had his supercar wrapped in a finish reminiscent of the carmaker’s racing successes in the 1950s.

The Legend Of 1956 Tour De France

On various social media sites, Ferrari posted three images of a newly customized 812 GTS . Wrapped mainly in blue, this 812 GTS looks like a certain car from the Italian carmaker’s legendary past. In particular, this 812 GTS traveled back nearly 70 years to the past to resurrect the appearance of a certain Prancing Horse – the iconic Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione.

RELATED: Ferrari Shows Off Racing-Inspired 488 Pista Spider From Its Tailor Made Program

Boasting around 260 hp of max output from its three-liter V12 engine, the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione was a force to reckon with at the 1956 edition of the Tour de France. That year’s event spanned six days during which various cars took part in circuit contest, hill climbs, as well as drag races. Alfonso de Portago and co-driver Edmund Nelson came out of the 1956 Tour de France as the overall winner. The 250 GT Berlinetta went on to win Tour de France in 1957 and 1958, earning the nickname “TdF.”

An Iconic Livery From 1956 To 2022

With its Tour de France win and other race victories at the 1957 Targa Florio and 24 Hours of Le Mans 1959, the 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione became one of the most successful racing cars in Ferrari’s history. In the 1956 Tour de France, the winning 250 GT Berlinetta donned a Blu Flugplatz exterior, a livery stripe replicating the French tri-color flag, and the #171 roundels.

Obviously taking inspiration from the 1956 Tour de France-winning 250 GT Berlinetta, the Ferrari 812 GTS borrows the legend’s exterior color, French tri-color stripe as well as the #171 roundels on the side. Its Blu Flugplatz exterior paintwork represented the official color of French motorsports in the 1950s. While this Ferrari is definitely Italian-made, it dons the French colors as a tribute to the 1956 icon. Inside, this 812 GTS features a Connolly Luxan leather interior trim.

Made Possible With Ferrari Tailor Made

This one-off 812 GTS became possible thanks to Ferrari’s Tailor Made program. Limited to exclusively selected customers, the program allows them to personalize their Ferrari cars according to their tastes and preferences. Moreover, the program provides customers control of the creative process.

Description

Deal Pending

• Single ownership and just under 1,900 miles from new
• Driven in the 2023 Ferrari Cavalcade
• Attractively specified in Blu Tour de France over a Cuoio leather interior
• Numerous options include Apple CarPlay, suspension lifter, and carbon fibre driver zone
• Ferrari’s final naturally aspirated, front-engined, V-12 grand tourer

Aside from its racing exploits, Ferrari is best known for its lineage of exceptional front-engined, 12-cylinder grand touring cars. Since the company’s inception over 75 years ago, these cars have been the final word in sporting elegance, offering both the performance and luxury that Ferrari is known for. With vaunted models such as the 250 GT/L ‘Lusso’, 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’, and 550 Maranello, many believe that Ferrari’s most recent front-engined V-12 grand tourer, the 812 Superfast, will be its last, in the face of increasingly stringent regulations on emissions. In convertible form, the 812 GTS is arguably Ferrari’s finest expression of the V-12 grand tourer, and one to savour for both enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Delivered new to its first and only owner in the UK via H.R. Owen Ferrari of London in December 2020, this 812 GTS has been tastefully specified in Blu Tour de France over a Cuoio leather interior. Drivability was obviously at the forefront of its current owner’s mind, as it was specified with a number of ‘must have’ options, including Apple CarPlay, adaptive headlights, suspension lifter, passenger display, and full electric seats, considered by many to be more comfortable over long distance than the racing seats. Other important options include 20-inch dark forged wheels, Scuderia shields, blue-painted brake callipers to match the paintwork, and a handful of carbon fibre options, including inner door handles, driver zone with steering wheel LEDs, dashboard inserts, and the interior central bridge. Finally, the Cavallino Rampante on the headrests has been stitched in blue to match the paintwork, while a contrasting Sabia stripe on the seats and dashboard adds a touch of elegance. The car’s most recent service was undertaken by Rossocorsa of Milan prior to it undertaking the 2023 Ferrari Cavalcade.

At the wheel, the 812 is exactly what it is advertised to be: Superfast. Its performance is astounding; with plentiful torque and eager handling, it will have no issues putting almost any other car on the road in its rearview mirror. However, this performance is not all encompassing, and the car can easily be driven in a relaxed manner in its comfort setting, swallowing up luggage for two for a cross-continent jaunt.

Once naturally aspirated V-12 engines in new cars become a thing of the past, the 812 Superfast will be remembered as one of Ferrari’s all-time great grand touring cars. The 812 GTS is a step above, offering the thrill of top-down motoring alongside 200+ mph performance. This well-optioned, single-owner example needs nothing other than an enthusiastic new owner looking for a grand tourer par excellence.

The twin-turbo V8-powered F40 was the last Ferrari built under Enzo's guidance. At the time he called it, "The best in the world."

Produced in two series between 1960 and 1964, the 400 Superamerica featured a big 4-liter V12 underhood, perfect for crossing continents. The cars were all bodied by Pininfarina and included spider, cabriolet and aerodynamic coupé versions, as well as the famous, one-off Superfast models: II, III and IV.

Best of Show went to Mike Regalia's 1967 Daytona. Mike is shown here being interviewed about the car, which he restored himself.

"It's just a wonderful car," Regalia said. "It's only got 24,000 original miles on it. It still has its original exhaust system on it, still has the original hood pad, underneath it a lot of the details in the engine compartment, in fact, all of the details in the engine compartment other than hoses that got replaced, are original."

Regalia figures he put about 4000 hours of work into the car. Well worth it to win Best of Show!

Xi Jinping arrives in France with Ukraine and EU trade row at top of agenda

On his first visit to Europe since 2019, Xi is set to meet with Emmanuel Macron before heading to Serbia and Hungary

Xi Jinping has lauded China’s ties with France as a model for the international community as he arrived in Paris amid threats of a trade war over Chinese electric cars and French cognac.

On his first visit to the EU in five years, China’s president will meet his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, and the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen , who will urge him to reduce trade imbalances and use his influence with Russia over the war in Ukraine.

Ahead of the visit, Macron told the French newspaper La Tribune that an update of relations was necessary “because China now has excess capacity in many areas and exports massively to Europe”.

In September 2023 the EU launched an investigation into whether to impose punitive tariffs to protect EU producers against cheaper Chinese electric vehicle (EV) imports that it says are benefiting from state subsidies.

On Sunday night, Von der Leyen signalled the EU’s continued discontent with China , which she said was “currently manufacturing with massive subsidies”. An oversupply of cars and steel due to weak demand at home was leading to unfair trade and unacceptable market distorting practices, said Von der Leyen, that “could lead to deindustrialiasion in Europe” and loss of jobs, particularly in the German car industry.

Macron will try to talk Xi out of retaliating over the EV investigation, potentially with import duties on French cognac and agricultural goods.

The EU is also expected to raise suspicions that sanctions on exports to Russia are being circumvented by Chinese companies trading with its neighbour. They believe multinationals based in Asia are selling legitimately into Hong Kong and mainland China but the destination of the goods is Russia.

Xi, who was welcomed in Paris by the French prime minister, Gabriel Attal, said in a statement released on his arrival that ties between China and France were “a model for the international community of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation between countries with different social systems”.

In a separate op-ed published in the French daily Le Figaro, the Chinese president said he was coming to France with three messages: that Beijing was committed to opening up “new vistas” in its relationship with France, opening up “ever wider” to the world, and to upholding world peace and stability.

“While opening up itself, China also encourages Chinese companies to go global,” Xi wrote. “France is advancing reindustrialisation based on green innovation, whereas China is accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.”

On the war in Ukraine , he wrote that China “understands the repercussions of the Ukraine crisis on the people of Europe”. He emphasised that Beijing was not “a party to or a participant in it”, adding that “China has been playing a constructive role in striving for peaceful settlement of the crisis”.

Xi’s six-day visit to Europe is the first since 2019 and will also see him visit Serbia and Hungary . The latter is hoping to become the European hub of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturing after BYD in 2023 sealed a deal for its first EV factory in Europe.

One of Macron’s key priorities will be to warn Xi of the danger of backing Russia in its invasion of Ukraine , with western officials concerned Moscow is already using Chinese machine tools in arms production.

The west wants China above all not to supply weapons to Russia and risk tipping the balance in the conflict.

“It is in our interest to get China to weigh in on the stability of the international order,” said Macron in an interview with the Economist published on Thursday.

“We must, therefore, work with China to build peace.”

China opened an anti-dumping investigation into brandy imported from the European Union in January, sparking fears cognac could suffer a similar blow to that taken by Australian wine when China introduced tariffs of more than 200%.

“We want to obtain reciprocity of exchanges and have the elements of our economic security taken into account,” Macron told La Tribune.

Von der Leyen said on Monday: “We have to act to make sure that competition is fair and not distorted. I have made clear that the current imbalances in market access are not sustainable and need to be addressed”.

The European Commission, the European Union’s authority on trade issues, has opened more than 20 competition probes targeting China in recent months including into the supply of cars, wind turbines and medical devices.

Beijing has reacted furiously to the most recent investigation, into suspected inequitable access to China’s medical devices market, calling it a sign of EU “protectionism”.

The EU’s 27 members – in particular France and Germany – are divided on their attitude towards China.

The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, will not join Macron and Xi in Paris due to prior commitments, according to sources.

“In Europe, we are not unanimous on the subject because certain players still see China as essentially a market of opportunities,” Macron said, without naming any countries.

France will also seek to make progress on opening the Chinese market to its agricultural exports and resolve issues around the French cosmetic industry’s concerns about intellectual property rights, officials have said.

China may announce an order for about 50 Airbus aircraft during Xi’s visit, but it remains uncertain whether it will be a new deal, people familiar with the negotiations have said.

On Tuesday, Macron will take Xi to the Pyrenees, a mountainous region dear to the French president as the birthplace of his maternal grandmother, before Xi heads to Serbia and Hungary .
