Few Ferraris of the modern era have generated excitement comparable to the furore surrounding the 812 Superfast — intended to replace the F12berlinetta — as it was revealed at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show. The 812 Superfast arrived amid great fanfare as Ferrari’s 2-seat, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive flagship model, and the fitment of a 6.5-liter 789-horsepower V12 engine ensured that it more than lived up to its name. It was marketed by the Maranello marque as the “fastest and most powerful Ferrari yet,” and interest in the car was understandably huge. Four years later, Ferrari raised the stakes even higher with the unveiling of the 812 Competizione, hailed as the “ultimate expression” of a front-engined berlinetta. The purpose of the 812 Competizione from the outset was clear: to show what was possible when development of a supercar was forensically targeted on extracting the maximum performance at every turn. With only 90 kilometers on its odometer at the time of cataloging, this 2022 model is presented with an array of well-considered personalization options that give it a unique look and feel. Ferrari’s famous Rosso Corsa paint finish is complemented by a central stripe in Giallo Fly yellow with a Nero black border, while yellow brake calipers and Pirelli tires with yellow detailing make the wonderfully crafted 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels even more prominent. Many carbon-fiber options have been specified, including the front air vents, inner door handles, instrument cover and parcel shelf. A suspension lift system and front and rear parking cameras promise to make life easier if the 812 Competizione is used in urban environments. Ferrari has produced no shortage of iconic grand tourers over the decades, and the 812 Competizione is a worthy successor to the legends that preceded it. The availability of such a distinctive version is sure to capture the attention of brand aficionados the world over.
