Ferrari has announced its latest version of their 812 supercar, the Ferrari 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A.
Both of these new limited edition models come with an impressive 819 horsepower and the new cars are lighter than the previous models.
The launch began with the 812 Competizione completing several laps of the circuit to give viewers a full appreciation of the car’s forms in this dynamic and high performance context in addition, of course, to hear the unmistakeable sound of Ferrari’s iconic naturally-aspirated V12. After the hot laps Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s Chief Marketing & Commercial Officer, officially presented the car and then unveiled the 812 Competizione A.
This duo of cars is dedicated to a very exclusive group of collectors and enthusiasts of the most noble of Ferrari traditions, which focuses on uncompromising maximum performance. The innovative technological concepts applied to the engine, vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics have raised the bar to new heights.
Performance and Engineering Excellence
The Ferrari 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A are not just about raw power; they are a testament to Ferrari’s commitment to engineering excellence. The 819 horsepower is generated by a 6.5-liter V12 engine, which is an evolution of the engine found in the standard 812 Superfast. This engine is capable of revving up to 9,500 rpm, making it one of the highest-revving engines Ferrari has ever produced. The result is a car that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.85 seconds, with a top speed of over 211 mph.
The weight reduction in these models is achieved through the extensive use of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials. The 812 Competizione features a redesigned front bumper, rear diffuser, and a new exhaust system, all of which contribute to its reduced weight and improved aerodynamics. The 812 Competizione A, the open-top variant, also benefits from these weight-saving measures, ensuring that it offers the same exhilarating performance as its coupe counterpart.
Advanced Aerodynamics and Handling
One of the standout features of the 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A is their advanced aerodynamics. Ferrari has employed several innovative solutions to enhance the cars’ downforce and stability. The front of the car features a new air intake system that improves cooling and reduces drag. The rear of the car is equipped with a large diffuser and an active rear wing that adjusts to optimize downforce based on the car’s speed and driving conditions.
The vehicle dynamics have also been fine-tuned to offer an unparalleled driving experience. The 812 Competizione is equipped with Ferrari’s latest Side Slip Control (SSC) system, which allows for precise control of the car’s handling characteristics. This system works in conjunction with the car’s electronic differential and traction control systems to ensure that the driver can exploit the car’s performance to the fullest while maintaining control and stability.
The 812 Competizione A, with its removable roof panel, offers an open-air driving experience without compromising on performance. The car’s chassis has been reinforced to maintain rigidity, and the aerodynamics have been optimized to ensure that the car remains stable at high speeds even with the roof removed.
