Only 999 units of Ferrari’s outrageous new 812 Competizione will be produced, and only 599 units of the Competizione ‘Aperta,’ which is the 812’s sister vehicle.
And neither model is available anymore, which comes as no real surprise. So welcome to the two brand-new naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris that are supposedly so powerful they can’t be bought.
Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s chief marketing and commercial officer, says, “We contacted our clients prior, offering them the right of first refusal, and of course the reaction has been amazing.
He did mention the price: EUR499,000 (in Italy) for the 812 Competizione and EUR578,000 for the 812 Competizione Aperta. “Many consumers are requesting for the car, but regrettably we cannot satisfy all the requests,” he continued.

Competition and Competition A
On May 5, 2021, Ferrari unveiled a limited-edition, track-focused version of the 812 Superfast named Competizione. This version was unveiled with its drop-top counterpart, Competizione A (for Aperta, Ferrari’s designation for limited open-top vehicles, which translates to “open” in Italian). Both variants have a more potent 6.5-litre V12 engine, significant aerodynamic improvements, and the addition of a standalone four-wheel steering system. The improved engine is capable of a redline of 9,500 rpm and is capable of 830 PS (610 kW; 819 horsepower) at 9,250 rpm and 692 Nm (510 lbft) of torque at 7,000 rpm.
The most recent versions of Ferrari’s lightweight, limited-edition front-mid-engined V12 Berlinetta platform are the 812 Competizione and Competizione A. They are the F12 TDF’s and the 599 GTO’s immediate replacements. Only 999 Competizione and 599 Competizione A will be made in total, and both have already been used. These automobiles, like other Ferrari models that are carefully limited, are only given to customers who meet specific requirements.
orders for the Ferrari 812 Superfast and GTS stop worldwide
The 812 coupe and convertible supercars have reached the end of their useful lives, which could spell the end of the series-production V12 Ferrari supercar without turbochargers or hybrid technology.
Due to the discontinuation of taking orders for the 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast and 812 GTS supercars internationally, the normally aspirated V12 Ferrari two-door without hybrid technology may be discontinued (excluding limited-build special editions).
The 812 Superfast coupe and GTS convertible’s order books have closed globally, according to a Ferrari Australasia representative. Production is anticipated to continue for an indeterminate amount of time until all customer reservations are filled.
There haven’t been many rumors about a replacement, but the new 812 family, which is supposedly due in 2023, is anticipated to be required to use hybrid technology in order to comply with the upcoming round of strict European emissions standards.
In addition to limited-edition versions like the Daytona SP3, the naturally-aspirated, non-hybrid Ferrari V12 is rumored to continue in the company’s planned Purosangue SUV. This vehicle is claimed to be the last from the brand without turbochargers or electrification.
The Ferrari 812 supercars that clients have already bought will be the last after the company stops taking new Superfast and GTS orders; the 999 and 599-unit 812 Competizione coupe and convertible models went out of production in the middle of 2021.
Although it’s unclear if Superfast and GTS will continue for that long, manufacturing of the 812 Competizione A track special isn’t scheduled to begin until the fourth quarter of 2022 (October to December). This means fresh 812 examples will continue to roll off the assembly line until well into 2023.
After the renowned 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” from the late 1960s, the 550 Maranello from the late 1990s, and the 812’s predecessor, the F12 Berlinetta from 2013, the front-engined V12 grand tourers with Prancing Horse emblems continued with the introduction of the 812 Superfast in 2017.
Under the hood is an evolution of the naturally-aspirated petrol V12 from the previous 599 GTB and F12berlinetta, which has been increased to 6.5 litres and produces 588kW and 718Nm. At the time of launch, this engine was touted as the most potent naturally-aspirated engine ever made, but that record has since been surpassed.
The 812 GTS convertible, which joined the Superfast coupe in late 2019, has a retractable hardtop roof, making it the first front-engined V12 Ferrari convertible in regular production in 50 years. The drop-top 550, 575, 599, and F12 versions were one-offs or limited editions.
The 812 Superfast and GTS received limited-edition, track-focused versions dubbed as the Competizione and Competizione A in 2021. These versions retuned the engine to 610kW/692Nm with the help of an upgraded aerodynamics package, redesigned chassis, and weight-reduction program.
Ferrari has not officially confirmed a replacement for the 812, but unconfirmed online rumors claim it could appear in late 2023 under the designation F167 and have hybrid V12 power (though the engine expected to continue without turbocharging).
Orders for the Ferrari 812 have officially ended.
Defenders of internal combustion engines are losing the battle in the automotive industry, which will soon be controlled by electric vehicles. The newest victims of this eco-onslaught are two Italian national treasures and bastions of the supercar world. Officially, Ferrari has ceased taking orders for the venerable Ferrari 812 Superfast and GTS. This is quite important since it might be the last naturally aspirated V12 Ferrari built in series without the use of turbocharging or hybrid technology. Even though Ferrari will continue to produce the 812, including the 812 Competizione, until at least 2023, the end is in sight.
The 812 Superfast coupe and GTS convertible order books have closed, according to a Ferrari Australasia representative. We are now unable to provide information on the production schedule, the representative said, adding that there are no plans to resume taking orders for these cars.
The prospects of obtaining one of these vehicles brand-new have long since vanished, yet production will continue until all orders have been fulfilled. The strict emissions regulations that are being implemented globally, pushing Ferrari to adopt turbocharging and hybrid technology, with complete EVs arriving in the near future, are one of the main reasons for the end of the existing generation. The beautiful Daytona SP3 and new Purosangue SUV may still accommodate the naturally aspirated V12 engine.
Ferrari’s love affair with front-engine V12 grand tourers, which included luminaries like the 365 GTB/4 “Daytona,” the 550 Maranello, and the F12 Berlinetta, comes to an end with the 812 Superfast. With a power output of 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque, the 6.5-liter V12 engine of the Ferrari 812 was hailed as the most potent naturally-aspirated production engine ever produced at the time of its introduction. That amount is increased to about 800 horsepower by the 812 GTO. The 812 Superfast can accelerate to 62 mph in in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph in just 7.9 seconds. The top speed of this galloping horse is 211 mph if you keep your foot in it. Although Ferrari hasn’t formally revealed the 812’s replacement, reports suggest that it will debut in 2023 and come equipped with a hybrid system that features a V12 engine. Sweet prince, rest in peace.
Accessibility and limited release
In all of the major auto markets across the world, there is a great deal of interest in the Ferrari 812 Superfast. The car was highly sought after in every nation it was unveiled in on its inaugural tour in 2017. The annual production quantities for this vehicle will be restricted, like with all Ferrari vehicles.
For the first couple of years, Ferrari will only produce a limited quantity of the 812 Superfasts; however, you can anticipate that getting one of these cars would be challenging. The limited availability of Ferraris is one of the factors contributing to their high demand.
The 812 Superfast will, however, come in a limited edition, according to Ferrari. A limited 500 units of the Monza SP will be produced in 2018. This gorgeous convertible is lighter than the 812 Superfast cars and has racing-inspired styling from the 1950s. Before they were even made, every one of these cars had already been sold. If Ferrari will publish another issue of the Monza in 2019 has not yet been disclosed.
They only manage to produce 1,598 units in total.
The new Ferrari 812 Competizione and Competizione Aperta are already out of stock, which is bad news if you were planning to purchase one. Only 999 coupes and 599 copies of the variations with the detachable top panel are being produced by the manufacturer.
Ferrari got in touch with its customers and offered them first dibs on the new cars. Enrico Galliera, the company’s chief marketing and commercial officer, revealed to Top Gear that the 812 Competizione cost €499,000 in Italy and the Aperta cost €578,000.
The New Ferrari 812 Competizione Is Already Sold Out Because Of This.
It is understandable that the new Ferrari 812 Competizione is already sold out given its extremely small manufacturing run of only 1,598 vehicles.
The new Ferrari812 Competizione is already sold out despite having a tiny manufacturing run of only 1,598 vehicles.
Imagine the restless nights John Elkann must be having as he considers how to increase production of the 2022 Ferrari 812 Competizione if Elon Musk experienced “production hell” with the Model 3. Evidently not.
The fact that the new Ferrari 812 Competizione is already sold out is considered as a sign of success rather than a problem to be overcome in the odd make-believe world of the Tifosi, where common mortals are permitted to sample Maranello’s finest.
99 percent of the world’s population may be wondering how on earth Ferrari would sell the 1,598 units it expects to make given that the Competizione A, which is Italian for “open,” has a price tag of $600,000 in its home country.
This is obviously untrue because there are many more wealthy gentry with large financial resources than there are accessible super powerful Superfast 812s. Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s chief marketing and commercial officer, is the one who must explain to the significant members of the “family” who will not receive a Competizione why the company is unable to meet demand.
