In an unprecedented move, Ferrari is putting up a one-of-a-kind 812 Competizione for auction, with all proceeds earmarked for educational charities. The auction will be a highlight of the Ferrari Gala, scheduled to take place in New York on October 17.
The 812 Competizione, which was first revealed during the Monterey Car Week at Casa Ferrari, is a showpiece of custom craftsmanship and creative design. Developed in partnership with Ferrari’s Style Center (Centro Stile Ferrari), this exquisite car originates from the ‘blank canvas’ concept that guides the Center’s new model research. It is part of a limited and highly exclusive series of 999 Ferrari 812 Competiziones designed for enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship
The making of this car involved more than a year of intense collaboration between the Centro Stile Ferrari and Ferrari’s Custom Design team. The goal was to achieve a perfect balance between unparalleled technique and artistic craftsmanship. Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s chief designer, led the project, steering the unique features and artistic elements that inspired the 812 Competizione.
Ferrari 812 Competizione Fundraising for Education
All proceeds from the auction at the Ferrari Gala, attended by a community of Ferrari clients, will be donated to charitable organizations focused on educational projects, a central component of the charitable activities undertaken by the iconic ‘Prancing Horse.’
Revolutionary Design Inspired by Tradition
Imagined to resemble the iconic yellow cards where Maranello’s designers first jot down their inspirations, the car comes in a three-layer matte yellow color. The exterior also features a matte black sketching application that traces the iconic elements conceptualized by the chief designer. The vehicle’s interior also boasts next-generation Alcantara® upholstery made from 65% recycled polyester, intricately adorned with direct-print design drawings.
Pinnacle of Performance
The 812 Competizione is designed for ultimate performance without compromise. Drivers can expect immediate response in the most complex maneuvers, ensuring complete control. This is further bolstered by the world’s most thrilling 830-horsepower V12 engine.
The Ferrari Custom Design Program
Ferrari’s Custom Design Program is an exclusive offering aimed at clients who wish to personalize their Ferraris to mirror their own tastes and personalities. Clients are supported by a team of experts and personal designers who not only respect the brand’s aesthetic standards but also interpret the individual requirements of each client.
This extraordinary auction marks not just an unprecedented opportunity for collectors but also a milestone in Ferrari’s ongoing commitment to charitable activities.
