The Ferrari 812 Competizione, unveiled in 2021, is a limited-edition evolution of the 812 Superfast, designed to push the boundaries of performance and driving pleasure. The goal was clear from its inception: create a supercar that maximizes performance while delivering unmatched thrills behind the wheel.
Underneath the hood of the 812 Competizione is a naturally aspirated V12 engine, upgraded to produce an astonishing 819 horsepower, making it the most powerful V12 ever in a Ferrari road car. The rev limit was raised to 9,500 rpm, achieved through advanced engineering, such as lighter components and a carbon-coated camshaft to enhance durability and reduce friction.
Performance is exceptional, with 0-62 mph in 2.85 seconds and a top speed of over 211 mph. Its Fiorano lap time 1:20 places it among Ferrari’s elite road cars. All 999 units sold out instantly, cementing the 812 Competizione as a highly sought-after collector’s gem.
Every Ferrari 812 Competizione is an extraordinary machine, but the one heading to Mecum Auctions on January 18 is exceptional. With only 193 miles on the odometer, this car isn’t just pristine—it’s also the very first of the 999 limited-edition models ever produced.
Dressed in iconic Rosso Corsa with Scuderia shields, this 812 Competizione is a masterpiece of design and engineering. Its sculpted lines are a testament to aerodynamic innovation. It features a carbon fiber blade-style hood, redesigned air intakes, a patented rear screen with vortex generators, and an optimized underbody—all working in harmony to enhance downforce while reducing drag.
The interior is equally impressive, swathed in red leather with carbon fiber accents on the door handles and center console. Features like the Manettino steering wheel and Daytona-style racing bucket seats, complete with red safety belts, reflect Ferrari’s unmatched attention to detail.
This example also boasts modern luxuries, including an Infotelematic audio system, SiriusXM radio, parking cameras, dual-zone climate control, tire monitors, a passenger display, and Alcantara carpets. It’s a rare blend of track-ready performance and refined comfort, making this 812 Competizione an irresistible opportunity for any Ferrari enthusiast.
