About this subject

The Ferrari 812 Competizione was unveiled in 2021 as the most extreme version of the 812 Superfast, with only 999 units produced. Its heart is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 830 horsepower at 9,250 rpm, making it the most powerful production V12 ever built by Ferrari at the time. With rear-wheel drive and a dual-clutch automated transmission, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.85 seconds and reaches a top speed of 340 km/h.

The Competizione's design reflects its track-focused nature: hood air intakes, an aggressive rear diffuser, and an innovative "bridge" system at the back that integrates the wing and brake light. Extensive use of carbon fiber reduces dry weight to just 1,487 kg. Active suspension and four-wheel steering deliver exceptional agility, especially in high-speed corners.

Interestingly, the 812 Competizione has no electric power steering or intrusive electronic control systems, prioritizing a direct driver-machine connection. This model is considered the swan song of Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12 before the electrification of its lineup. Its name refers to the brand's racing division, Competizioni GT, and each car comes with a certificate of authenticity.

For collectors, the 812 Competizione represents not only the pinnacle of Italian automotive engineering but also an investment. Its market value has already exceeded the launch price of around €500,000. Special editions like the 812 Competizione Aperta convertible (only 499 units) have become global dream cars.
