Yes, along with the 812 Competizione there’s the 812 Competizione A, with that flat deck and array of vortex generators nowhere to be seen. In their place, a delightful decklid complete with evocative ‘flying buttresses’. To look at, both cars are striking and elegantly shaped, if not classically gorgeous. Ferrari claims the Competizione has an ‘arrow theme’ and a ‘forward thrust’ in its design. No arguments here...
We now know some hard figures, too. The Competizione will get to 62mph in 2.85 seconds and 124mph in 7.5 seconds on the way to a top speed of over 211mph. Overall track performance is contextualised by a 1 minute 20 second lap time around Ferrari’s Fiorano circuit. That’s just 0.3 seconds slower than the LaFerrari hypercar.
The 812 Competizione is stated to weigh 1,487kg dry, which is a 38kg reduction compared with the Superfast’s dry weight. If that seems a bit low, the distribution is also marginally improved, with a 49/51 split. Speaking of reduced weight, optional for the first time on a V12 Ferrari are carbon wheels, first seen on the 488 Pista in 2018. This option drops 3.7kg in total by comparison to the Superfast’s lightweight forged items.
