The Final Open-Top Celebration of Ferrari’s Naturally Aspirated V12
In an era increasingly defined by turbocharging, hybrid systems, and electrification, the Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta stands as a celebration of one of the automotive world’s greatest achievements: the naturally aspirated V12.
Created as the open-top counterpart to the 812 Competizione, the Aperta represents Ferrari’s ultimate expression of front-engined V12 performance. More than a special edition, it serves as a tribute to the engineering philosophy that has defined Ferrari’s most iconic grand touring cars for generations.
Produced in extremely limited numbers and reserved for Ferrari’s most loyal clients, the 812 Competizione Aperta immediately became one of the most desirable modern Ferraris ever built.
The example offered here combines that rarity with an exceptional specification. Delivered in 2023 and showing just 1,500 kilometers from new, this Rosso Corsa example is presented in virtually showroom condition and currently available in the United Arab Emirates.
For collectors seeking one of the last great naturally aspirated Ferrari V12s, opportunities rarely become available on the open market.
The Ultimate Evolution of the 812 Formula
When Ferrari introduced the 812 Superfast, it redefined expectations for front-engined performance cars.
Its combination of V12 power, advanced aerodynamics, and everyday usability created a benchmark few manufacturers could challenge.
Yet Ferrari engineers believed there was still room to push the platform further.
The result was the 812 Competizione.
Developed with extensive aerodynamic revisions, reduced weight, enhanced chassis tuning, and a significantly revised powertrain, the Competizione transformed the already extraordinary 812 into a machine designed for the most demanding enthusiasts.
The Aperta version added an entirely new dimension.
With the roof removed, occupants are able to experience every nuance of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 soundtrack, creating one of the most emotional driving experiences available in any modern automobile.
It is not simply a faster 812.
It is arguably the purest expression of Ferrari’s front-engined GT philosophy.
One of Ferrari’s Greatest V12 Engines
At the heart of the 812 Competizione Aperta lies a masterpiece of engineering.
The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 produces an astonishing 819 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful naturally aspirated road-going engines Ferrari has ever built.
Unlike turbocharged alternatives, power delivery is immediate, linear, and increasingly intoxicating as the revs climb toward its extraordinary redline.
Every throttle input is accompanied by a soundtrack that has become increasingly rare in the modern automotive landscape.
This is not merely an engine.
It is the culmination of decades of Ferrari V12 development.
Paired with Ferrari’s lightning-fast seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Competizione Aperta delivers acceleration, responsiveness, and driver engagement at a level few modern cars can match.
For many enthusiasts, it may represent the final chapter of the naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 in its purest form.
Aerodynamics Inspired by Motorsport
Although the Competizione Aperta retains the elegant proportions of the 812 family, nearly every surface was redesigned to improve performance.
Ferrari engineers developed an extensive aerodynamic package aimed at increasing downforce while maintaining high-speed stability.
The front fascia, side airflow management systems, rear diffuser, and distinctive rear aerodynamic elements all contribute to significantly enhanced performance.
The result is a car capable of delivering extraordinary cornering capability while preserving the balance and composure expected from a front-engined Ferrari.
Unlike many track-focused supercars, the Competizione Aperta achieves this without sacrificing elegance.
It remains unmistakably Ferrari.
A Highly Desirable Specification
This particular example benefits from one of the most sought-after Ferrari specifications available.
Finished in Rosso Corsa over a black interior, it presents the classic Ferrari color combination that has defined the brand for decades.
The optional carbon fiber wheels represent one of the most desirable features available on the model. Beyond their visual impact, they contribute to reduced unsprung mass and enhanced chassis responsiveness.
Additional highlights include:
- Carbon Fiber Wheels
- Painted Scuderia Shields
- Front Axle Lift System
- Surround View Camera System
- Full Paint Protection Film (PPF)
- EU Specification Vehicle
- Ultra-Low Mileage Example
Together, these options enhance both usability and long-term collectibility.
A Future Ferrari Icon
Certain Ferraris become collectible almost immediately.
The 812 Competizione Aperta belongs firmly in that category.
Its limited production, naturally aspirated V12 engine, open-top configuration, and position as one of Ferrari’s final pure combustion halo models ensure lasting significance within the collector market.
Many enthusiasts already view the Competizione series as the spiritual successor to legendary front-engined Ferrari specials such as the 599 GTO and F12tdf.
As automotive technology continues its transition toward electrification, cars like the 812 Competizione Aperta are becoming increasingly important.
They represent the closing chapter of a remarkable era in Ferrari history.
For collectors seeking one of the most significant modern Ferraris ever produced, few opportunities are as compelling.
