This is the new 2024 Ferrari 812 Competizione and it’s the high performance version of the already high performance Ferrari 812 Superfast. The 812 Competizione has a V12 with 820 horsepower and a starting price of $600,000. Today I’m reviewing this Ferrari 812 Competizione and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.

The design is based on the F12berlinetta, with some new styling cues like full LED headlamps, air vents on the bonnet, quad circular taillights, and a body-colored rear diffuser. The two-box, high tail design of the car is intended to resemble that of the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, a Pininfarina design, though the car was designed at the Ferrari Styling Center.
The interior of the 812 Superfast takes inspiration from both the preceding F12berlinetta and the interior of the LaFerrari, especially the shape and position of the air vents and the contours of the dashboard.

On May 5, 2021, Ferrari presented a limited production, track focused version of the 812 Superfast, called Competizione, this version being presented together with its drop-top variant, Competizione A (for Aperta, Ferrari’s moniker for limited open top models, translating to “open” in Italian). Both versions have a more powerful version of the 6.5-litre V12, extensive aerodynamic upgrades and the introduction of an independent four-wheel steering system. The upgraded engine is rated at 830 PS (610 kW; 819 hp) at 9,250 rpm and 692 N⋅m (510 lb⋅ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm, and is capable of a 9,500 rpm redline.
