The 812 Competizione represents the ultimate evolution of Ferrari’s front-engined V12 berlinetta, following in the footsteps of the 599 GTO and F12tdf as the latest in a celebrated line of special-series V12 Ferraris. Its naturally aspirated 6.5-litre engine produces 830cv and revs to an extraordinary 9,500rpm, while reduced weight, independent four-wheel steering and significantly revised aerodynamics make it a far more focused proposition than the 812 Superfast.

This particular example is finished in the highly desirable Rosso Magma, complemented by an Argento Nürburgring and Nero DS racing livery that works particularly well with the Competizione’s more aggressive bodywork. The motorsport-inspired theme continues inside with extensive Alcantara and carbon fibre, while its particularly strong factory specification includes a Suspension Lifter, Passenger Display and Daytona Racing Seats. Having covered just 1,551 miles from new and protected by full PPF, it presents as an exceptionally desirable example.

For collectors, the appeal of the 812 Competizione is easy to understand. It combines Ferrari’s special-series pedigree with one of the most extreme naturally aspirated V12 engines the marque has ever produced, while occupying the same lineage as the increasingly coveted 599 GTO and F12tdf. Add the very low mileage, Rosso Magma finish and striking specification of this particular car, and it represents an especially compelling example of one of Ferrari’s most significant modern V12s.
