Someone Is Already Flipping a Rare 2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione, Yours for $1.74 Million

But that speaks more to how amazing the F12 was (and still is), in just about every department. For example, both the F12 and the 812 have nearly identical performance figures (0-60 times and max speed). Meanwhile, in terms of design, it’s clear that Ferrari used the F12berlinetta as a launching pad for the 812, both inside and out, although the latter's interior was also influenced by the LaFerrari.

Fast-forward to 2021, and the 812 Competizione and Competizione A (Aperta / convertible) were announced as direct replacements for the F12tdf. Both variants utilized a more powerful version of the Superfast’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, with 819 horsepower instead of “just” 789 horsepower.

Ferrari made it clear that only 999 Competizione and 599 Competizione A models would ever be produced, and allocated only to customers that meet certain criteria – they sold out extremely quickly, as you can imagine.

That doesn’t mean you can’t get one though, because some people just love annoying Ferrari by purchasing their cars with the intention of flipping them for a profit – and what a profit the 812 Competizione brings in!

Check out this 2023 example, finished in yellow with carbon fiber inserts and a silver racing stripe with black borders. I’m not sure if this is Giallo Modena or another shade of yellow, as the ad unfortunately doesn’t specify. I’m leaning towards Giallo Modena though, it’s a very recognizable shade of yellow.

The vehicle is currently a resident of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and according to the ad, it has zero miles on the clock. We’ll take their word for it, but don’t be surprised if in reality it has delivery miles – a lot of exotics are sometimes advertised as never having been driven, but that doesn’t necessarily equal a virgin odometer.

Speaking of things you might see inside, the spec is pretty straight-forward for an 812 Competizione, meaning you get carbon fiber everywhere, Alcantara on the seats and the upper dashboard, plus yellow seatbelts, yellow piping and yellow contrast stitching (seats, steering wheel). It’s definitely a fair reflection of the exterior, and to some extent, it looks delightfully unassuming.

As for how much this Italian thoroughbred would set you back should you want to contact the dealership, well, the folks over at VIP Motors are asking for $1,742,314. That’s more than double its original MSRP. When it first went on sale, the 812 Competizione held a blue book value of just over $600,000, which was already a ridiculously high price.

Still, you can bet this thing will just continue to go up in value – but the flip side of that is that you’d have to pace yourself and drive it as little as possible.
