Ferrari'south current V12 supercar, the 812 Superfast is, equally its proper name implies, super fast. At the time of its unveiling in the early on months of 2017, information technology was the nigh powerful road-going Ferrari e'er, with its 800hp output.

That is, until it was eclipsed in 2022 by the SF90 Stradale, which packs in a whopping ane,000hp output, thanks to its hybrid powertrain.

Compared to the SF90, the gains made past the latest iteration of the 812, dubbed the Competizione, is marginal. Its engine is nominally the same, with the 812 Competizione and its semi-convertible sibling, the 812 Competizione A (for Aperta, Italian for "open") sharing the same half-dozen.five-litre V12 as the "evidently vanilla" 812 Superfast.

Power is up from 800hp to 830hp, which represents a less than five per cent comeback. Of class, squeezing fifty-fifty more power out of the engine wasn't an piece of cake task, necessitating the utilise of lighter, friction-reducing engine internals, a lighter-weight engine oil and a more ambitious cam actuation strategy derived from Ferrari's efforts in Formula One.

Thanks to these measures, the engine now revs to a stratospheric 9,500rpm, a frankly astounding number for a road-legal car, that is, one compliant with international emissions and noise regulations.

Naturally, the 812 Compeitizione and 812 Competizione A are besides lighter than the car it'south based on, though as with the power output, the gains are adequately small. The new limited-run supercars are just 38kg lighter than earlier owing to the utilise of (more) carbon fibre in its construction, though at that place'southward scope to reduce that slightly further if you specify the full carbon fibre wheels that save roughly 900g or so per corner.

If yous thought all that would brand the new express-production Ferrari twins lap the carmaker's Fiorano test track quicker, it does, to the tune of ane.5 seconds, at one infinitesimal 20 seconds. That's just a second off the aforementioned SF90 Stradale.

These are differences that perhaps most (barring a professional person racing driver) won't be able to discern, but what most people should be able to discern is the whopping premium Ferrari wants over the standard 812 Superfast: Almost lxx per cent more than.

Over hither, the 812 Superfast already costs Due south$i.42 million (exclusive of COE and optional extras), but if i were to extrapolate, the 812 Competizione should cost S$two.iii million. For the 812 Competizione A, that toll tag rises to S$2.5 million, merely such is life when considering an open-top, limited-edition Ferrari.

At whatever charge per unit, even if you could write Ferrari out a cheque for what is the equivalent of a very decent condo unit in a very decent part of town, all 999 units of the 812 Competizione and the rarer 812 Competizione A, which is limited to a 599-unit of measurement production run, have been sold out.

According to a soundbite from Ferrari's chief marketing officeholder Enrico Galliera, response for the multi-million-dollar supercars have been phenomenal, and given the Singapore market place's penchant for such cars, it's more than likely that at least a handful will make their fashion here.

No word yet on whether whatsoever right-paw-drive models will exist available, simply it's hundred-to-one that that will exist a stumbling block, with a notable example being Ferrari's express-edition LaFerrari hypercar.

All 500 examples of the coupe were produced exclusively in left-hand-drive, which excludes it from ever being registered for road apply in Singapore (unless on diplomatic plates), but Ferrari dealers ItalAuto still sold "a small number" of them.
