The Ferrari 812 Competizione A occupies a singular position in the Maranello catalogue: an open-top grand tourer powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 830 cv, delivered to customers from 2022. BBR Models has rendered it in 1:43 scale with the Giallo Tristrato finish and contrasting black wheels — a configuration that mirrors real factory configurator choices for this model.
The 812 Competizione A distinguishes itself through a removable carbon-fibre roof panel and pronounced rear buttresses. Unveiled in May 2021 alongside the coupe 812 Competizione, the Aperta variant arrived at customers in 2022. Its 6.5-litre V12 — at the time the most powerful naturally aspirated engine Ferrari had installed in a road car — produces 830 cv, figures that define a specific and likely unrepeatable chapter in Ferrari's road car history.
Giallo Tristrato and the Black Wheel Specification
Giallo Tristrato is a three-layer paint process that builds a depth and luminosity absent from conventional single-coat yellows; it is available as a special-order colour through Ferrari's standard and Tailor Made programmes. On this car the specification is completed by a black wheel finish — an option listed in Ferrari's own configurator for the 812 Competizione A. The contrast between the multi-depth yellow and the dark alloys is precise and deliberate, not a generic colour scheme, making it a relevant reference point for collectors who document real-world specification combinations.
BBR Models: Italian Resin Craft at 1:43
BBR Models — full name Best Box Resin — is an Italian specialist resin manufacturer with a long focus on Ferrari road and racing subjects. Its 1:43 models are hand-finished, and the paint fidelity on special-order Ferrari colours such as Giallo Tristrato is a recognised strength of the range. The body is resin, meaning surfaces and aerodynamic forms are reproduced as a fixed assembly, with detail concentrated on the exterior — bodywork lines, the carbon-fibre roof structure, and the wheel specification.
In the Display Cabinet: Pairing and Context
The model occupies a compact footprint suited to a standard 1:43 shelf or cabinet. It pairs naturally with other BBR Ferrari road car subjects at the same scale — the 812 Competizione coupe, 812 Superfast, and contemporary halo models such as the SF90 Stradale — forming a coherent survey of Ferrari's V12 and hybrid road car era from the 2010s into the 2020s. Collectors building a Giallo Tristrato or special-order Ferrari colour sub-collection will find this model a useful anchor piece alongside other Tailor Made and standard special-order finishes rendered by BBR.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Does the model have opening parts?
This is a resin model and the body is a sealed one-piece assembly with no opening parts. Detail is concentrated on the exterior surfaces: bodywork lines, the carbon-fibre roof panel and buttresses, and the contrasting black wheel finish.
What material is the model made from?
The model is hand-finished resin, produced by BBR Models. Resin construction allows tighter surface definition than diecast at 1:43 scale, which is particularly relevant for a special-order colour like Giallo Tristrato where paint depth and tone accuracy matter.
What makes the 812 Competizione A historically significant?
At launch it was the most powerful naturally aspirated road car Ferrari had produced, with a 6.5-litre V12 producing 830 cv. Combined with its limited open-top Aperta bodywork, it marks the high point of Ferrari's unforced-induction V12 GT road car lineage.
