The Most DESIRABLE Ferrari RIGHT NOW! My FIRST DRIVE in the 812 Competizione

This is the Ferrari 812 Competizione, the latest limited edition machine from Maranello, and it's finally my turn to get behind the wheel! Thanks to Autowelt Schweiz, let's soak up the glory of this NA V12, get a full feel for the monster, and see what it's all about!
The Competizione dials up the already incredible base of the Ferrari 812 Superfast, following a line of great cars including the F12tdf, 599 GTO and more. Power is up to 830PS / 819bhp from the 6.5l NA V12, that happens to rev all the way to 9,500rpm - bringing with it the most heavenly sound of any road car in production today. Limited to just 999 Coupes, alongside 599 Competizione A convertibles, the cars were quickly bought up by Ferrari VIP customers.
Today, we're going to take a full look at this Grigio Silverstone and Giallo Modena example, running through the details that make it quite so special, before it's time to share my experience behind the wheel for the first time. I have actually driven an 812 Competizione before, but this time I can share it all with you!
I make no secret I'm a big fan of the 812 Superfast, and I recently had an epic drive in the F12 TDF with my friends at Merit Partners in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, so today in Switzerland, let's see what this beast is all about.
It's a huge thanks to Autowelt Schweiz for the opportunity to drive this stunning Ferrari 812 Competizione, it will certainly not be the last time I visit! As a Porsche and Ferrari specialist, you can find out more about their cars here:

It’s crazy how elusive these beauties are; I haven’t seen a single video of them on track outside of Chris Harris’s, and there aren’t that many videos of the 812 Comp in general still. So this is a welcome surprise, Tim!

Thanks again Tim for bringing us the content we all WANT to see with the information we all NEED. The F12 TDF was beautiful, The 812 SF stepped it up now this Comp is BEAUTIFUL all around. Keep up the great work @ Shmee 150 we are here to support the grind.

[@IKnowYouJuantMe]

The F12 TDF has to be one of my favorite cars ever, so to see this is incredible. The sort of hatch back Ferrari is so cool to me. Another great video, keep it up.

[@khabaaustralia]

It's always good to see a Shmee150 vlog before work, it gives me something to dream of during the mundane hard labour of work. Cheers to you again Tim for living the dream, thanks for the years of daily vlogs that keep me going at work.

[@siddharthl_12]

Would love to see this or the GTS in your garage!!🔥🔥

[@lrfcarreviews2570]

Yeah Shmee should buy the 812 GTS Novitec N Largo. I feel like that would be a perfect Shmeemobile. Strad would like it also.

[@stealthhtm23]

Tim already said the 812 GTS is on order.

[@CaseyCollier]

@@stealthhtm23 No. He's said that he has a 296 GTS on order, not an 812.

[@stealthhtm23]

@@CaseyCollier aahhh ok. I stand corrected

[@CaseyCollier]

@@stealthhtm23 Yeah, it's no big deal. They both have "GTS" at the ends of their names, so it's easy to get them mixed up if you're not paying close enough attention to what's being said.

[@MEnglish404]

It’s so amazing to think that exclusive brand like Ferrari is able to produce so many special edition on so many models! And each one of these things are so so expensive!

[@MarcSob22]

This car is absolutely stunning!! Perfect GT, really want to see someone do a remap and take off the electronic speed limit and push hard this machine! Great content as always!

That would be fun to see

I love watching this dude drive these crazy cars... such a wholesome guy who really gets what us views love about these cars that most will never get to enjoy.... big thanks to u Tim

[@colinpaton3770]

Hi Tim Great to have a road review of this, surely the most desirable V12 Ferrari in production. The SOUND! And on Swiss countryside roads doesn’t get better Cheers!

[@lloydbellis7360]

Your enthusiasm is addictive. Sweet ride. 👍👍👍👍

[@adplays7261]

Was able to sit in one and look it all over yesterday at a Cars and Coffee in Huntsville, AL. Spoke to the owner for quite some time. So impressive!

[@mickfletcher1289]

Just a stunning car. Rear vision an issue but would be happy to power through that. Definitely a top 5 for my dream garage but as you remarked Tim, it's getting hold of one that's the issue. The addition of a GTS or Comp to your garage would be pure gold. Cannot wait for the Ferrari "FUV" even though its a while away yet. Thank you for continuing to provide great content along with your knowledge of all things automotive.

[@Hardupgarage]

!!FANTASTIC VIDEO AGAIN MATEY!!

[@tomnewham1269]

Hi Tim. I wish we had those roads here in Australia but like Switzerland we wouldn't be able to fully enjoy them. Nevertheless those smooth roads would be a welcome change to the rough roads we have here at the moment. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us who can only dream of driving such exotic machinery.

[@crocop2712]

I was driving back from an appointment in zurich when i saw your SF90 at the autowelt. Immediately had to stop by and take some photos. Spec is 10/10

[@jeibizz00]

Been waiting for this one!

[@stevehines5256]

This and the 488 Pista Piloti are my two favourite recent Ferraris. Great vid 😎👍

[@nwatts4616]

It would be so cool to see a back to back comparison where you drive a f12 TDF and then park it and get into a 812 competizione and drive it

[@Shmee150]

I'd absolutely love to do that, on a proper road somewhere

[@latbeast]

It’s been done a few times, tdf trumps it

[@6pistons]

That engine sound!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊

[@7ouie492]

I was recently checking out a Ferrari showroom outside London & they had one of these and were kind enough to let me sit in it… made my day, they had a purple & yellow SF90 too :)

[@granturismo_filippoGT]

Waiting for this video for a long time !!

[@Shmee150]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@gen2-x364]

The matte carbon fiber in the interior looks amazing. IMO the gloss sort of cheapens the looks and reflects a lot.

[@andrewforbes5777]

Hey Shmee great vid as usual luved that lovely piece of machinery, such a great up grade to the last one also why don't you trade your blue car for a superfast.

[@Tristanbirdyt]

Good evening, shmee150 hope you are doing well. Today is my birthday absolutely love your videos that spec on the Ferrari 812 keep up the fantastic work. Thank you so much and we all love the V 12. Thank you Tristan

Something about the length, the thinness, and just overall shape of those cf paddles. Btw...I've been loving The Aventi on the wrist lately.

[@januarymorris9087]

To have a matching pair of 812 and 812 comp cars would be awesome! And I don't know why you have the 4 door instead of the 812, the 812 is so much better looking and it's practical with the luggage space

Awesome. It looks beautiful.

Hey shmee you should also add a 458 speciale or 599 GTO to your collection

Shmee is a big fan of the 812. He would probably take that over a 599 GTO or a 458 Speciale.

[@ezcatch77]

As always, a great review but, with a naturally aspirated V12 (possibly a dying breed) that sounds so glorious, having more silence from you would have allowed us to enjoy and appreciate the car more. Still, thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to take delivery of mine.

[@allensaunders449]

[@lrfcarreviews2570]

Maybe he should have all three.
