Ferrari has unveiled an even more powerful limited-edition version of the 812 Superfast.

Called the 812 Competizione, the new car is for people who don’t think the mighty 812 Superfast isn’t quite super or fast enough already.

It shares the same 6.5-litre V12, but offers more power – an extra 31hp – and a higher rev range. The new total is 830hp, with a redline of 9,500rpm, up from 8,900rpm originally. It’s the highest-revving production engine from Maranello to-date.

Ferrari 812 Competizione A

A Competizione A model, based on the open-roof GTS version of the 812 – is also offered.

To create more oomph from an already very powerful engine, Ferrari has redesigned the pistons, fitted 40 percent lighter titanium conrods, layered a ‘diamond-like carbon coating’ on the piston pins and rebalanced the crank. 

There are also new cylinder heads, F1 technology for the cams, a redesigned intake system and variable geometry inlet tracts.

The gearbox is the same as the one in the ‘standard’ Superfast, although shift times are cut by five percent. The Competizione is also 38kg lighter. The 0-62mph sprint is achieved in 2.85 seconds and top speed is 211mph.

Prices have not been confirmed, but they are a little academic. All 999 versions of the coupe have been sold already, as have the 599 examples of the Competizione A.
