Bought by invitation for 850,000 $, this Ferrari 812 is now worth 2.8 million $... in less than 3 years.

In the universe Ferrari, money isn't always enough. You also have to be chosen. A very special example of this is the Ferrari 812 Competizione A, whose value has almost quadrupled in less than three years. Bought new for $852,420 by its first owner, this supercar could now fetch up to $2.8 million at auction.

A textbook case that perfectly illustrates why some collectors spend years, and millions, building their relationship with Maranello.

The Ferrari you couldn't just buy

Launched in 2021, the 812 Competizione A was not a model that could be ordered from dealerships. Produced in just 599 examples worldwide, this convertible version of the radical 812 Competizione was strictly reserved for the brand's most discerning customers. To access it, you had to receive a direct invitation from Ferrari. In other words, you had to be on the famous “list”. This entry filtering immediately laid the foundations for its future value. From the outset, the car was not just a supercar, but a collector's item.

An atmospheric V12 already making history

Beyond its rarity, the 812 Competizione A also represents the end of an era. Under its hood is a 6.5-liter, naturally-aspirated V12 developing 819 hp, capable of accelerating the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.85 seconds, for a top speed of 340 km/h.

In the age of mass electrification, this type of engine is becoming an endangered species. And this is precisely what attracts collectors today: the sensation of witnessing the last moments of a mythical mechanical era.

A configuration already designed as an investment

The example currently up for auction is not a “standard” car. Its first owner pushed the personalization envelope, with nearly $150,000 worth of options, bringing the total price to $852,420. Rosso Corsa paintwork, Nero and Argento Nürburgring racing stripes, numerous exposed carbon parts, carbon wheels, Scuderia badges, red calipers... everything has been configured to maximize both exclusivity and desirability.

The interior mirrors the exterior: red and black Alcantara throughout, embroidered bucket seats, carbon on the console and dashboard... right down to the trunk, which is also clad in red Alcantara.

129 kilometers only... and a value multiplied by three

But the detail that makes all the difference is its condition. With just 129 kilometers on the odometer, this 812 Competizione A is practically brand-new. An ideal condition for a future collector's item. The result: offered today by RM Sotheby's in Miami, it is estimated at between $2.5 and $2.8 million. In less than three years, its value could have been multiplied by more than three.

This case illustrates a well-known fact in the very closed circle of collectors: owning certain Ferraris is not just a matter of purchasing power. Joining the club of VIP customers gives access to models whose value can soar almost instantly. The 812 Competizione A is not just a spectacular machine, it's an investment.
