Chassis No. ZFF03TMB000290755 Ferrari’s 812 Competizione represented the ultimate expression of Maranello’s front-mid-engined, naturally aspirated V12 berlinetta—an unofficial swan song for the atmospheric twelve that has defined the marque since 1947. Derived from the 812 Superfast yet extensively re-engineered, the Competizione’s 6.5-liter, 65-degree V12 produced 830 CV and spun to 9,500 rpm, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 ever fitted to a modern production car, an output shared with its latest flagship, the 12Cilindri. The Competizione’s engine was a thorough mechanical rethink over the 812 Superfast. Ferrari fitted lighter titanium connecting rods, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated cams, a rebalanced crankshaft, and redesigned cylinder heads employing sliding finger followers with race-bred profiles. Together, these measures yielded a freer-revving, harder-charging character with a torque curve that swelled toward the limiter—accompanied by the singular timbre that only an unblown Ferrari twelve can deliver. Peak power was achieved at 9,200 rpm, and as Road & Track noted in their road test, “This V12 doesn’t just rev to 9,500 for show; peak power is reached at 9,200 rpm, so on track you’ll be consistently hearing this thing near redline. And that is a religious experience...Hearing that V12 rev towards its stratospheric redline while balancing steering and throttle is frankly magical.” Chassis and aero changes were equally focused. Ferrari’s Passo Corto Virtuale (Virtual Short Wheelbase) version 3.0 debuted with independently controlled rear-steer actuators, sharpening turn-in and high-speed stability while integrating with version 7.0 of the Side Slip Control dynamics system. The bodywork was an exercise in form following function, featuring a wider, more aggressive front end with a deep carbon splitter, a hood “blade” that extracted engine-bay air, and, most strikingly, the replacement of the rear glass with an aluminum panel sculpted with vortex generators. In concert with a taller rear spoiler and a thoroughly revised underbody, these elements increased downforce without an undue drag penalty. Official claims exceeded 340 km/h, with zero to 100 km/h dispatched in 2.85 seconds. Ferrari announced just 999 Competizione coupes, all of which were sold out upon the model’s announcement. Among the 999 coupes, this 2023 model is surely one of the finest and most highly specified examples. Completed in January 2023, chassis 290755 was exquisitely finished in Ferrari Historical Color Verde British Racing (British Racing Green), with its Competizione livery specified in vibrant Giallo Fly (Yellow) with Nero (Black) accents. The specifications plaque details an exhaustive options list, including adaptive headlights with SBL, “Scuderia Ferrari” fender shields, and exposed carbon fiber abounds. The engine cover and filter box, front air vents, under-door covers, and the rear diffuser were all ordered in exposed weave for an aggressive, technical look. Lightweight 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels completed the stance, shod with yellow Pirelli P Zero Color Edition tires framing yellow brake calipers that neatly match the exterior livery. Inside, the cabin was tailored in Cuoio Alcantara with Nero details, a richly toned pairing complemented by a wealth of interior amenities. The large-size Daytona Racing Seats were trimmed in Cuoio with vertical center stripes and the Cavallino stitched on the headrests rendered in Nero, paired with the rear vertical wall and parcel shelf also swathed in Cuoio Alcantara for a uniform appearance. The driver’s view centered on the red rev counter, with a full suite of carbon-fiber trim including the instrument cover, dash inserts, upper center-console, and inner door handles. The technical features and amenities were specified with equal care. The car was equipped with the all-important Suspension Lifter, Ferrari Telemetry, Passenger Display, the High Power Hi-Fi system, Front and Rear Parking Cameras. A silver dedication plate in-between the seats completes the specification, acknowledging that this is a “1/999” limited edition. Certifying this fact is the accompanying Ferrari Classiche “Yellow Book,” issued only to special series models. With collectors increasingly prioritizing specification and limited-edition models in their acquisitions, this Verde British Racing example will surely distinguish itself for years to come as a covetable collector’s piece, thanks to its striking livery and virtually unused condition with just 608 kilometers shown at the time of cataloging. Quite possibly among the final non-hybrid naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris, the Competizione serves as a fitting finale to one of the automotive world's most revered bloodlines.
