- Ferrari built only 599 examples of the 812 Competizione A.
- In the US, prices for the hardcore 812 started near $700,000.
- This example could fetch up to $2.8 million later this week.
If you’ve ever wondered why the uber-wealthy spend millions assembling vast Ferrari collections just to secure a place on a discreet VIP list, this 812 Competitizione A provides a fairly convincing explanation. Access to Maranello’s inner circle can pay off handsomely.
When the 812 Competizione A launched as the drop-top version of the most hardcore 812 variant, production was capped at just 599 units worldwide. It was so tightly controlled that only a select group of Ferrari’s top-tier clients were invited to buy one.

Prices started at around $700,000, and in less than three years, some examples are now trading for over $2 million, occasionally even more.
What Did $150,000 In Options Buy?

RM Sotheby’s is offering a particularly notable 812 Competizione A this week and estimates it will sell for between $2.5 million and $2.8 million. Those are serious numbers, especially considering the original owner paid $852,420 to configure the car to a very specific, and clearly lucrative, specification.
Adorning the exterior is Rosso Corsa paint with a Nero and Argento Nurburgring racing stripe. The car was configured with almost $150,000 in options, including the Scuderia Shields, Apple CarPlay, red brake calipers, and a dizzying array of exposed carbon fiber parts, such as the wheels.
The inside is just as staggering as the exterior, combining Rosso and Nero Alcantara across the seats and dashboard. Heck, even the trunk is lined in bright red Alcantara. That’s probably not the most practical option, but let’s be honest, how many 812 owners are using the trunk for anything heavier than a detailing kit? Probably not many.
Delivery Mileage Example

Part of this car’s appeal is rooted in limited access. From the start, it was offered only to Ferrari’s most valued clients, and this particular example has covered just 80 miles (129 km). For anyone who was not on Maranello’s preferred list, this is likely the closest substitute to buying one new.
Ferrari’s VIP club may be closed, but the auction catalog is open. With near delivery mileage and a seven-figure upside baked in, it occupies that narrow space between untouched collectible and appreciating asset. Curious? Check out the listing over here and start crunching numbers.
