2021 Ferrari 812 Competizione | PH Review | PistonHeads

The new 812 Competizione always promised to be good. But Ferrari might have outdone itself. For one thing there's the 830hp, 9,500rpm V12. For another, there's the way it looks. Then there's how it drives...

Bravo to Ferrari for keeping the NA V12 dream alive still in 2021...

[@DonLee1980]

Money doesn't buy happiness. Ferrari: yes it does.

[@KUROSHURA]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Amen to that

[@recca7]

Right?!😂

[@gopalreddy5667]

"Everybodys happy with a Ferrari" Vettel: ummm.. about that

[@Peanutdenver]

@E E People who say "money doesn't buy happiness" have never had a nice thick slice of it. It's juicy and good and brings a big smile on your face.

[@Peanutdenver]

@E E You’re stating the obvious.

[@xkc9689]

This presenter, this car, this depth & detail, what a review! 👍🏼

[@michaelschneider-]

@ATC 96 .. +1. Presenter Dan Prosser is a pro... Always a pleasure to watch a review of his making. .. 3 Cheers to Dan & staff ..

[@JoeAchilles1]

God that looks insane, great video Dan & co 👌🏼

[@TheCarFan_SA]

Wonderful to see when a great reviewer commends another for a splendid review.

[@ianmitchell9102]

Yep it certainly does Joe, can’t wait to see your thoughts on the new M240i…… I’m waiting for your opinion before I decide on ordering one or not !! Any clues ?

[@amsrocks]

make shmee get one so you can drive on the next tour lol

[@chillingwithntobsie9296]

@@TheCarFan_SA Ewe bhuti maarn,,Joe is definately a nice guy,,,,he must come and visit South Africa we have beautiful roads😜😜

[@UMNRZ]

Call me crazy but I actually prefer the looks of the F12 TDF. Amazing review as always by Dan the Man 👌🏽

[@ngwanawamobu8990]

Fair, but I'd say you haven't seen this in the right spec

[@Toymonkeyjr]

me as well. the 812 kinda looks like a PC version of the f12

[@MrZH190]

f12 base < 812 base. F12 TDF > 812 Comp. F12 TDF is the best

[@julekhakhan6826]

Looks of this one are better

[@123manican]

Mix the back of the 812 with the front and fins of the f12 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jackal2513]

To be fair a lot of the same praise can be said about the regular 812, it’s one of the very greatest cars.

[@RizM820]

I've seen all the 812 Comp reviews and this is by far THE BEST! That is an accomplishment in and of itself. Well done Dan and team!

[@SaintMecha]

I'm waiting for Chris Harris to hate review it.

[@Ozmeister666]

I didn't watch them all, just quickly tabbed through them to see the respective presenter and it was instantly obvious, that this one would be the best!

[@HoratioHoodoo]

Until Harris drives it. And Catchpole

[@HoratioHoodoo]

@@SaintMecha Harris loves the tdf and 812 and f12.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Enzo always prefered the cars with engine in the front. His quote was: "Horses in the front, carriage in the back" 😄😄

[@SpaghettiKillah]

@@francescoorano5437 That was his personal preference, but as a former F1 pilot and mechanic he understood the advantages of rear-engined cara.

[@vomErsten]

I'd still take an F12 TDF over this, but goddamn is that a fine automobile. RIP, you beautiful Ferrari V12 masterpiece.

[@nathandepasquale9571]

The yellow one is absolutely gorgeous IMO. Great review Dan.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Very few people know but yellow is actually the official Ferrari colour, not red. In fact the horse is on a yellow background. That's because Enzo was an ex-Alfa mechanic and he they allowed him to race a modified Alfa as long as it was not red as the official Alfa Romeo F1 cars.

[@THESLlCK]

@@SpaghettiKillah All ferraris look better in yellow

[@SpaghettiKillah]

@@THESLlCK Yes, almost all of them. I worked with the Ferrari GT3 team and travelled the world with them, I was also often at Maranello for work. One of the engineers explained why they look better. Most Ferrari have curvy flowing lines, which do look better in yellow as it accentuates/compliments a flowing shape. However if the design involves too many straight lines/angles it does look better in other colours. For example the Enzo looks better in red. Also, the F40 it's better in red, actually i'd go so far to say that the F40 in yellow looks "toyish" and "cheap" somehow. Have a look yourself.

[@THESLlCK]

@@SpaghettiKillah Oh I agree completely. The F40 in yellow is indeed a bit ridiculous. That being said, In a large high flake blue it would look amazing.

[@Nandoo1987]

I watch all others reviews of this car, but this review give me feedback like I was driving this great Ferrari! Great job!

[@theironsmith1]

The presentation, the car, the camera movement. Woooow. This is so awesome. Great content man

[@infidel900rr]

5:47 - love that shot! And so many other great shots throughout.

[@petersarwan9820]

Great review and what an endorsement 🙌🏽🔥

[@OscarStevensonTheDon]

Much better than Evo review I just watched. Great video

[@jacquesraymond6892]

A JAPANESE KATANA SWORD... It is exactly what that Ferrari is. Made with the best and finest materials. Engineered and built with an absolute crafstmanship. Perfectly balance. It is so sharp you could cut youself to death either or experience with it, a level of efficiency and enjoyment still never reached with a car. As long as you have what it takes.

[@zenmaster8299]

Great Video and description !!!

[@ineedthatcar7169]

Puts the Evo video in to the shade entirely! Well done Dan P

[@stefaneinz]

Brilliant Dan. Best review by far.

[@alexmaddox2255]

This Ferrari has Dan flustered, it must be incredible then. It does look stunning in yellow, with the yellow pin stripe on the tyres.

[@Nick-qx1vf]

Dan is quickly growing into the best automotive presenter there is. Would love to see him, Harris, Catchpole, or Bovingdon on top gear. Also, wowie what a car !

[@shayboy42]

Why everyone banging on about top gear, it's dead, something new is needed

[@Mostlycars888]

Jethro Bovingdon & Chris Harris for me are the best in the biz and I do enjoy Steve Sutcliffe as well

[@Matthew-nl9kd]

Awesome footage and review. Would be even cooler if you shared an unedited clip showing a few laps just from that forward facing camera (eg 4:35).

[@stephengreen3373]

Fantastic video 👌 that car is an absolute dream 😍

[@lukewaring2832]

Look forward to reading about it later.. Epic content as ever.. Epic..6 numbers now and it mine..😎

[@cdnim2358]

That paint colour during the walk around sure changes from different angles 😁

[@petridhskyriakos]

Excellent presentation-thank you soooooo much!!!

[@rp1au]

Great presentation of a phenomenal car

[@stevehines5256]

Revs to 9500….love it

[@MCWordicus]

this car fixed my biggest gripe with the 812 design, ditching those headlight intakes

[@kamkob7935]

Same here

Amazing. What a car! Can tell that Dan loves it!

[@zioromesp4991]

Only Ferrari can create this art !! There is nothing else !!

[@superchargedturbo]

Absolutely stunning

[@greaser3069]

Surprisingly good track footage

[@johnlundvall8911]

Very nice to watch and informative, but i believe the car runs on Pirelli PZero Trofeo, not the Michelin Cup2 R.

[@bruceclaridge5717]

WONDERFUL

[@JeffNolan]

is the rear wheel steering system different than what is in the Superfast and GTS?

[@richspjones]

Brilliant review, Dan

[@commonavionics6069]

The only modern Ferrari I want, truly a gorgeous car.

Since it’s coming July 2021 I’m thinking your getting the coupe right

[@villaverdeeggs]

@@chrisbrown5392 ...100%......I actually don't like the spider

[@chrisbrown5392]

@@villaverdeeggs I like the coupe better as well it think it looks more aggressive but the targa you can hear the noise better. Also did you have the option to choose between the coupe and the targa or did the just give you one and say if you want it you have to put down a deposit first

[@KINGPerformance]

Lovely !!!

[@alexc3295]

I liked the details in this review but I’m really not trying to look at this dude 90% of the time. I wish they actually used way more of the GoPro footage of it driving

wonderful writer and presenter is Dan Prosser

Love the insights but just wanted to hear That 9500 red line - love it

[@katlehosphamla2174]

What's the name of the song at the end of the video

[@rakshathnaik8473]

Is it required for a owner to attend ferrari events to buy the special edition model like 812 competizione

[@Gilles-zk1oo]

« This is the best Ferrari I have ever driven » And that’s saying nothing.

[@diggarsa8614]

Where's the scaffolding in the rear?

[@villLe]

Looks better than the standard 812, but the F12 and 599 especially were much, much better looking.

[@heinedenmark]

Who cares

[@Lou-f]

Dans caught up fast on V12 Ferrari driving lol

[@FabioPalini]

V12 Ferrari musica per le orecchie... top

[@AlexSami-qw4qu]

It’s all about the vortexes.

[@Chevroletmotors]

I'm happily surprised to know that they're making 1500 of these. Makes it more likely that there'd be video about them

[@zakimarzuki8227]

This along with 599 GTO & F12 TDF are quite desirable.

[@aaa84gt]

Yes, this is the one of the very best lineages of supercars.

[@bikemike1118]

I think I liked the round rear lights of the 812 Superfast better

[@scottsmith6571]

What’s it run 1/4 mile

[@heinedenmark]

I don't think it gets much better than this.. The engine might be up front, be it's a mid engine design, with most of the weight on the rear axel

[@hansnordlander2618]

What a fantastic car!!! Awesome!! Want one for sure. Just need to win the eurojackpot first🤑🤑Forza Ferrari!!!!!!!!

[@Oplix]

The ultimate.

[@90189waller]

Cup2R??? Trofeo R??

[@RYO12mwos]

Just the order slot for this car sold at equivalent of 1 million USD in Japan...

[@RS-jb1lf]

Once SOLANA hits $1300, I shall be down to my nearest Ferrari dealership. A used 812 Superfast would make me a very happy boy 😀

[@blue5723]

$318 AUD still a bit to go but Solana is on its way.

[@vinuyajohn719]

how can you compare it to Laferrari?

It's a top level limited edition Ferrari 🤷🏼‍♂️ Seems obvious to me. I reckon one can compare anything to anything tbh.

The last ICE hurrah...?

[@miguelramirez644]

👍🏽

[@vitovitale9867]

It's a pity the new Corvette Z06 has not been given rear wheel steering because Ferrari's already use magnetorheological shocks (a GM/Delphi invention). Perhaps they can offer in exchange their new rear wheel steering technology to GM to help make the latest iteration of the C8 a Ferrari beater for the masses!

[@keithpowell4664]

Please dont say youve just mentioned a Corvette next to a Ferrari? Let alone a Ferrari of this level?

[@limpunsing224]

Highly impressive supercar, but for sure a bone-jarring ride experience on the roads A regular Ferrari 812 would suit well enough a senior enthusiast Top-notch review

[@johngilchrist2852]

What a car. What a job. So very very jealous.

[@HiddenWen]

This feels like the "Pista" version of the 812.

[@heinedenmark]

This tradition goes way back..

[@saveriozingoni747]

It is

All sold already? Shit I wanted to order one! 🤣

[@yrinketterings8229]

It's still a mid engine, but front mounted.

[@pauln0371]

Amazing car but that rear camera pod looks like a cheap and nasty aftermarket item from eBay.

[@waynereid6103]

There should be a law against people standing in front of Ferrari's. The numerical part of the cars name converted into lashes would serve as penalty. After 812 visits from the cat o' nine tails perhaps you'll learn.
