The Ultimate Luxury Choice: 2024 Ferrari 812 Competizione
If you find yourself with a budget of about $600,000 for a new car, you’re in for some exhilarating choices. While a new Lamborghini Revuelto might be slightly out of reach, the 2024 Ferrari 812 Competizione is a high-octane alternative that promises to deliver an extraordinary driving experience. This upgraded version of the 812 Superfast boasts a colossal V12 engine that produces 820 hp, ensuring an unforgettable journey every time you get behind the wheel of this prestigious Prancing Horse.
A Glimpse at the 812 Competizione
The Ferrari 812 Competizione continues the tradition of front-engine GT models but with enhanced performance and style. Instead of a conventional rear window, the Competizione features a carbon fiber panel with fins to improve airflow efficiency. Coupled with a rearview camera, parking and maneuvering this supercar is a breeze, despite its hefty price tag and intricate design.
Key Design Enhancements
While sharing the core DNA with the 812 Superfast, the 812 Competizione introduces several distinctive design elements:
- Rear Enhancements: A larger carbon fiber rear diffuser and an extended ‘ducktail’ rear spoiler for increased aerodynamic performance.
- Front Transformations: A carbon fiber ‘fin’ that spans the hood, integrating seamlessly with a more pronounced front bumper and aggressively styled air intakes.
Limited Production for Exclusivity
Ferrari plans a very limited production run for these models. Only 999 units of the coupe and 599 units of the convertible variant, known as the 812 Competizione A or Aperta, will be built. Both versions prioritize weight reduction with interiors that feature:
- Carbon fiber sport seats upholstered in Alcantara
- Extensive use of carbon fiber in the console, door panels, and dashboard
- Lightweight materials, all designed to maximize performance and minimize weight.
