The Ferrari Gala in New York had its moment of glory with the charity auction of a unique Ferrari 812 Competizione customized by the Tailor Made department of the Maranello constructor. As reported on another occasion, the body of this model was finished in Giallo Tristrato, with contrasting elements in matte Black DS Sketch that adorn the car with the design lines of Flavio Manzoni’s sketches. These design elements reappear in the interior, wrapped in a new generation of Alcantara.
For this precious car, which generated great interest during the event, the lucky buyer shelled out the astronomical sum of 5.1 million dollars. This amount also reflects their inclination for altruism, which led them to make bids well above the market value of the car. The funds raised here will be dedicated to the education of underprivileged students. The sale of the coupe took place at “The Shed.” It is pleasing to know that a charitable initiative in the name of the Ferrari has, once again, achieved a great result, a testament to the generous heart of the Italian brand and its customers.
The soul of the 812 Competizione is a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder engine: a masterpiece of engineering and mechanics, delivering the beauty of 830 horsepower, a power that pins you to the seat with every press of the accelerator pedal. Its roar is a promise of pure speed, a statement of absolute dominance on the road, but it’s not just the energetic vigor that makes this creature unique.
The Ferrari 812 Competizione is a work of advanced technology with aerodynamic solutions that defy the laws of physics. The air intakes, deflectors, and front whiskers are like notes on a score, designed to cradle the car through the curves at terrifying speeds. The car’s great appeal doesn’t stop here. The interior also astonishes the senses with its racing notes skillfully mixed with luxury patterns in a setting where the driver is at the center of everything to ensure total control.
Every detail is a declaration of charm and craftsmanship. The emotions it offers during action are intoxicating. Here, the senses are transported to a dimension of sublime pleasure destined to be etched permanently in the heart. The muscular nature of the model is evident in its name itself. The Ferrari 812 Competizione takes the 812 Superfast’s features to an unprecedented level. The difference from the starting car is much more pronounced here than on the 599 GTO or the F12 TDF, at least in terms of dynamics.
The performance is extraordinary, with a top speed exceeding 340 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.9 seconds. This machine is an arrow shot toward the horizon, ready to challenge the limits of physics. The Ferrari 812 Competizione is a mechanical work of art, a celebration of the passion for speed and beauty. It is the result of decades of refinement, and uncompromising innovation. It is the thunder that breaks the silence of the roads, a symbol of Italian power, prestige, and luxury.
In a world where cars are often anonymous, this purebred coupe stands as a deity among common mortals. It is the Ferrari everyone dreams of, an experience that goes far beyond driving a vehicle. It is an ode to adrenaline, a hymn to beauty, and a tribute to the art of engineering from Italy. These characteristics undoubtedly contributed to the interest generated by the model offered at the Gala auction in New York for a noble cause.
