The Ferrari 812 Competizione is a limited-edition V12 coupe that represents the pinnacle of Ferrari engineering and design, combining raw power with sophisticated aerodynamics.

About this subject

The Ferrari 812 Competizione was launched in 2021 as an even more extreme version of the already powerful 812 Superfast. It is powered by a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 830 horsepower at 9,250 rpm, making it the most powerful V12 ever mounted in a production Ferrari. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 2.85 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 340 km/h.

The design of the 812 Competizione is heavily influenced by active aerodynamics. The redesigned front bumper, hood air ducts, and new rear diffuser work together to increase downforce and improve engine cooling. A notable feature is the rear windscreen, which replaces glass with an aluminum panel featuring fins to extract hot air from the engine bay, a solution inspired by Ferrari's racing cars.

Production was limited to 999 units, all sold before the official launch. There is also a convertible version, the 812 Competizione A, limited to 549 units. Each car is virtually made to order, with customization options ranging from body color to interior materials, upholding the brand's legacy of exclusivity.

Interestingly, the 812 Competizione incorporates the "Virtual Wheel" system that controls vehicle dynamics, integrating steering, brakes, and suspension to deliver a precise and engaging driving experience. Despite its performance focus, the car maintains a level of comfort and luxury that makes it suitable for both track and road.
