THE LIMITED V12
Ferrari 812 Competizione
999-unit limited berlinetta — Ferrari's most powerful naturally-aspirated road V12 ever built
The Ferrari 812 Competizione is the track-focused, limited-production farewell to Ferrari's front-engined V12 berlinetta line — a line that began with the 1947 125 S and ran through the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, the 550 Maranello, the 599 GTB Fiorano, the F12berlinetta, and the 812 Superfast. The Competizione was unveiled on 5 May 2021 alongside its open-top Competizione A sibling, the LEGO® 76914 set arriving roughly two years later.
Power comes from a heavily-revised version of the 812 Superfast's 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 — bored and stroked, with new titanium connecting rods, redesigned variable-geometry intake trumpets, and DLC-coated piston pins. Output is 830 PS (610 kW; 819 hp) at 9,250 rpm and 692 Nm at 7,000 rpm — making it the most powerful naturally-aspirated road-going V12 Ferrari has ever produced, with a 9,500 rpm redline that beats every previous Ferrari V12 road car. 0–100 km/h in 2.85 seconds; top speed over 340 km/h.
The Competizione's mechanical highlights are the four-wheel-steering system (a first for a front-engined Ferrari V12), an aero front splitter, vortex generators on the underbody, and a CFRP rear bonnet vent that replaces the rear glass to extract heat from the engine bay. Curb weight is 1,487 kg dry — 38 kg lighter than the 812 Superfast it is based on.
Production was limited to 999 coupés and 599 Competizione A roadsters, with all units allocated to existing Ferrari clients before the public unveiling. Ferrari has openly described the 812 Competizione as the last of its kind: the next-generation V12 successor (the 12Cilindri, launched 2024) is a less-extreme grand-tourer, and the Competizione closes out the front-engined ultra-limited V12 berlinetta lineage.
