Description
Much like the F12 TdF above the standard F12, the 812 Competizione is the pumped-up, limited-run, bigger brother of the 812 Superfast. Power is increased over the 789bhp Superfast, to 819bhp in the Competizione. A technical and aerodynamical representation of the latest technology trickling down from the likes of Formula 1 and the ** Corse Clienti development program to the more humble road cars.
The 6. 5 litre block is carried forwards, but the internals have been heavily fettled. New pistons, titanium ***-rods are 40 per cent lighter and coupled with a rebalanced crank (three per cent lighter than before), new cylinder heads, F1-tech for the cams, a redesigned intake system (across manifold and plenum) and variable geometry inlet tract, the redline is elevated to 9, 500rpm.
Extensive use of carbon fibre sees the Competizione lose 38 kg over the Superfast, all whilst delivering 30% more front downforce. Limited to just 999 examples, the 812 Competizione sold out completely ahead of launch.
