Ferrari 812 Competizione vs. Ferrari 812 Competizione A

How Many Ferrari 812 Competizione Models are There?

If you’re looking for one of these models, you’ll find that they’re even more scarce than other Ferraris: only 1,598 Competizione models will be produced, with 999 812 Competiziones and 599 Aperta variants.

The differences between the Ferrari 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A go a little more than skin-deep: while they share many design cues and aerodynamic innovations, but there are a few differences between the two:

• The 812 Competizione features vortex generators on its aluminum rear windshield replacement. These vortex generators redistribute the rear axle’s pressure field, contributing to the vehicle’s improved downforce generation.
• The 812 Competizione A compensates for its lack of vortex generators with a bridge element that redirects airflow. This integrated rear wing reduces drag and improves overall aerodynamic efficiency even when the top is open.
• The Competizione Aperta features a removable carbon fiber roof panel, but that’s not the only stylistic difference. And while the Competizione features cascading louvers on the rear end, the Aperta variant eschews these in favor of roll hoops and a flatter tail.

Powertrain: the Same Stunning Engine

Both the Competizione and its Aperta variant come equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine that produces 819 hp @ 9,500 rpm and 512 lb-ft of torque @ 7,000 rpm. As a result, the 812 Competizione can reach 60 mph in 2.85 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 211 mph. While Ferrari has not yet released acceleration and top speed numbers for the convertible Competizione Aperta, it’s likely to be slightly slower due to its additional weight — but the open-top thrills are their own reward.
