2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione

The 812 Competizione is Ferrari's last word in naturally aspirated V12 front-engined berlinettas, and this is one of just 999 built. The 6.5-litre V12 produces 814 bhp according to the dealer's data, revving to 9,500 rpm, with independent four-wheel steering, reduced weight and revised aerodynamics setting it well apart from the standard 812 Superfast. The claimed 0-62 mph time is 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph.

This example has covered just 1,552 miles since its 2023 registration and is UK supplied. It wears the special four-layer Rosso Formula 1 2007 paint, paired with a Nero DS and Argento Nürburgring racing livery, Canna di Fucile 20-inch wheels and a Nero Alcantara interior with Rosso Ferrari detailing and Scuderia Ferrari shields. Full paint protection film has been applied, and Ferrari's manufacturer warranty runs until January 2027.

The options list is notably well chosen. Carbon fibre racing seats with a seat lifter sit alongside the passenger display and front suspension lifter, which make the car far easier to live with on UK roads. Carbon is used widely: the rear diffuser, underdoor covers, front air vents, dashboard inserts, upper centre console and parcel shelf. Front and rear parking cameras, Apple CarPlay and adaptive headlights with the SBL function round out the specification. Price is on application.
