Ferrari 812 Competizione 2023.

A unique «painted» copy of the Ferrari 812 Competizione is up for auction.

A unique version of the Ferrari 812 Competizione debuted in California. The supercar is presented in the form of the famous «yellow card», which designers use for sketches.

In October, this car will be auctioned off, and all proceeds will be donated to a charitable foundation engaged in educational projects.

On October 17, 2023, as part of a charity auction in New York, a unique copy of the track-oriented supercar Ferrari 812 Competizione will be sold under the hammer.

This model was produced in the amount of 999 pieces, but the two-door specifically depicted in the photo is truly special, as it has a livery hand-drawn by the chief designer of the Italian brand Flavio Manzoni (Flavio Manzoni).

The main color here is the matte yellow shade «Giallo Tristrato», which is complemented by the sweeping black lines and strokes of «Nero DS».

Manzoni called this coloring a “sketch”, because because of it the car is not perceived as real from the outside, but seems like an ordinary sketch in the artist’s notebook.

The interior of the Italian two-door is also maintained in a similar style: black sketch sketches again flaunt on the yellow seats of the car.

The interior features a number of carbon-fibre spot accents and is trimmed in eco-friendly Alcantara made from recycled polyester.

As for the technology, it is standard for this Ferrari 812 Competizione. This means that the “drawn” supercar is powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine with 829 hp. (695 Nm).

The chassis of the two-door has track settings (like the 812 Superfast / GTS). How much such a car can go under the hammer is not specified, but all the money raised for it will be directed to charity, namely to pay for education for young people.

A collectible Ferrari 812 Competizione has been turned into a «sketch on wheels» by the Ferrari Styling Center and Tailor Made.

A one-of-a-kind version of the supercar was shown at Monterey Car Week, and in October the car will be auctioned off at a charity auction as part of a large gala dinner hosted by Ferrari in New York.

According to the Italians, the idea of car design was suggested to them by the famous “yellow cards”, where designers fix their ideas and keep records.

Therefore, a special color scheme was chosen for the car: matte yellow Giallo Tristrato combined with elements in matte black Nero DS Sketch.

The latter, as it were, emphasizes the main design “chips” of the 812 Competizione, whether it be a carbon fiber “blade” across the hood, ventilation slots on the front fenders or vortex generators in place of the rear window.

The interior is also made in a similar color scheme, and for the decoration they used a new generation of alcantara (the share of recycled polyester is 65%) and Superfabric knitwear.

Well, under the hood is the good old V12 with a volume of 6.5 liters. It produces 830 horsepower and 692 Nm of torque, allowing the 812 Competizione to accelerate from 0 to 100 in 2.85 seconds and reach 340 kilometers per hour.

The usual coupe will be produced in a circulation of only 999 copies. The starting price in Italy is 499 thousand euros, which corresponds to 51.2 million rubles.
