Revealed at Ferrari's Virtual World Premiere on 5 May 2021, the 812 Competizione sat at the top of Maranello's naturally aspirated V12 lineage. Every coupé allocated was committed before the public launch, and the Burago 1:18 replica offers collectors a concrete link to a car most will never see in a showroom.
Ferrari's 830 hp Naturally Aspirated V12
Built on the F152M platform derived from the 812 Superfast, the 812 Competizione is powered by the 6.5-litre V12. At launch it was Ferrari's highest-revving production engine, reaching 9,250 rpm and developing 830 hp. The car accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 2.85 seconds and exceeds 340 km/h. Ferrari's Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 rear-wheel-steering system completes the engineering brief.
The 'Competizione' Name and What It Means
Despite carrying the Competizione designation, this is a fully road-registered grand tourer — not a factory race entry. Ferrari has a long tradition of this naming convention. The 812 Competizione features a restyled front and rear, carbon-fibre aerodynamic elements, and that Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system, giving it a visually and dynamically distinct identity. An additional open-top variant was also produced as the 812 Competizione A.
Burago 1:18 Scale Model — Construction and Licence
Burago is an officially licensed Ferrari model partner, meaning the livery, proportions, and badging on this 1:18 replica carry Ferrari's approval. The model is built in Burago's established die-cast zinc alloy construction with plastic components, consistent with their wider Ferrari road-car range. The 812 Competizione's distinctive aerodynamic bodywork is reproduced at this scale, giving the model a recognisable profile that stands out on the shelf.
Placing It in the Collection
Given that the real car was entirely pre-sold, this replica carries genuine rarity context within any Ferrari grand tourer display. The model's distinctive aerodynamic bodywork and livery make it a strong visual presence, and its 1:18 scale allows the details of the Competizione's restyled bodywork and carbon-fibre elements to read clearly on the shelf.
