📖812 Competizione A: the ultra-exclusive open V12 targa where carbon roof care and chassis provenance meet

Ferrari 812 Competizione A (2021-2024)

Limited to just 599 numbered examples worldwide, the 812 Competizione A (Aperta) translates the extreme 830 hp front-mid berlinetta formula into an open-air targa masterpiece. Compared to open grand tourers such as the Aston Martin DBS Volante, the Ferrari is far sharper, louder and more uncompromising in its track-bred focus. Researching Ferrari 812 maintenance requirements demonstrates that appraising structural integrity, roof accessories and running gear is paramount for collectors.

The symphonic 830 hp naturally aspirated V12 revs to 9,500 rpm with visceral clarity, breathing past an aerodynamic carbon-fibre bridge spanning the rear buttresses. Central to this Aperta version is the removable carbon-fibre targa roof panel, which stows neatly in a dedicated luggage compartment moulding. Static museum pieces frequently suffer from deteriorated battery health, dried weather seals and flat-spotted tyres, making genuine operating provenance more reassuring than zero mileage.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Unrivalled open-air acoustic theatre from the 830 hp naturally aspirated V12 singing all the way to 9,500 rpm.
  • Extremely limited global production of 599 units guarantees elite investment potential and enduring collector desirability.
  • Lightweight carbon-fibre targa roof panel stows effortlessly without compromising rear luggage versatility.
  • Independent four-wheel steering and Side Slip Control 7.0 preserve extraordinary cornering poise and precision.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Carbon targa roof and seals: inspect the carbon-fibre panel latches, storage bag and windscreen header seals for alignment and wear.
  • 12-volt battery conditioning: prolonged idle periods cause battery degradation; confirm continuous trickle charger connection.
  • Carbon-ceramic brake discs and tyres: check surface finish, edge chipping and measure rotor density via Ferrari DEIS diagnostics.
  • Front axle lift system: test lift operation multiple times; ensure actuators rise swiftly without stuttering or warning lamps.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Annual engine oil and filter renewal using Shell Helix Ultra 10W-60 synthetic lubricant regardless of minimal mileage.
  • Targa roof seal lubrication and latch mechanism inspection at every scheduled 12-month Ferrari service.
  • Brake fluid replacement every 24 months to maintain firm pedal modulation across high-performance driving.
  • Inspection of front axle lift hydraulics, suspension wishbones and undertray aerodynamics annually.
