Equipped with a carbon-fibre Targa Top.Amalgam 1:8 scale Ferrari 812 Competizione AFerrari fondly describe the car as the evolution of a legend, with the latest evolution of Maranello’s legendary 65 degrees V12 engine reaching 830 cv and revs to 9,500 rpm, the highest output of any Ferrari road-car engine to date. Compared to its hard-top counterpart, the 812 Competizione, the Competizione A has the appearance of a lower centre of gravity due to the roof, wraparound windscreen, and flying buttresses. These buttresses are not compromised by the Targa top itself as the intricate design allows it to convert into a secondary visual element that can be stowed with ease and enjoyed to the maximum extent.Armed with its more brutal power, the 812 Competizione A emphasises the independent steering on all four wheels to enhance the driver’s level of fun behind the wheel. Extensive use of carbon fibre has reduced the car’s overall weight and contributed to a better driving experience. With the removal of the vortex generators of the 812 Competizione, the 812 Competizione A deflects the flow using a bridge element to minimise drag, effectively behaving like a wing and increasing aerodynamic efficiency when the top is stowed.

  Upon inspection of the interior, gestures to the 812 Superfast can be seen throughout the car, maintaining the main dash and door panel interfaces, not forgetting the signature diapason motif. The door panel however has sustained a redesign with the introduction of the H-gate theme on the tunnel to produce a lighter and sportier cockpit, to reflect the car’s racing spirit.

  This fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 812 Competizione A has been handcrafted and finished, with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original CAD data, finishes, and paint codes. The model has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation. Thel model comes mounted on a high quality black base with plaque detailing the model and a perspex cover, box with booklet, gloves and black outer box with dust cover.

  The Ferrari 812 Competizione A is limited to just 199 pieces.
