Ferrari 812 Competizione Goes Official
Ferrari 812 Competizione Goes Official-March 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:29

After a short teaser campaign, Ferrari has revealed its 812 Competizione, a faster and lighter version based on the already performance-focused 812 Superfast.

Not just one, but two vehicles were revealed during Ferrari's presentation. There's not just the 812 Competizione, but also the targa-top derivative called the 812 Competitizione Aperta.

The Ferrari 812 Superfast lived up to its name, but the Italian supercar maker has taken things up a notch. The V12 has been enhanced with lighter and stronger internals and the rev-limiter has been moved to 9 500 rpm. Power outputs are now rated at 610 kW and 692 Nm, making it the most powerful V12 Ferrari ever made.

Performance is spectacular with a claimed 0-100 kph of 2.85 seconds and a 0-200 kph of 7.5 seconds. A top speed of over 340 kph is claimed. There are huge brakes to help bring the beast to a stop. Ferrari has also put the car on a diet and there's liberal splashings of carbon fibre everywhere in an effort to make it lighter than the current 812 Superfast.

To make the 812 Competizione sharper around the corners, there's 4-wheel steering that's independently controlled at each wheel and there's some trick aerodynamics to increase downforce.
