On October 17, under the glittering city lights, an exclusive charity auction would unfold, with all proceeds channelled toward noble causes, further amplifying Ferrari's commitment to education support projects.
Over a year of tireless collaboration between the Ferrari Styling Centre and the seasoned Tailoras invested in crafting the intricate tapestry that adorned this remarkable work of art Made by artisans w.

The body of this masterpiece bore the soul of a matte Giallo Tristrato finish, painstakingly tracing the contours envisioned by the designer responsible for the 812 Competizione's elegant yet athletic lines. Etched in a matte Nero DS Sketch shade were the striking carbon fibre blade serving as an engine air intake, the reverent louvres on the sides, paying homage to Ferrari's venerable twelve-cylinder tradition, and the hidden vortex generators adorning the glass-free rear screen, concealing a discreet rear-view camera.
This innovative theme transcended into the interior, where the cockpit of the 812 Competizione enveloped its fortunate occupants in the next-generation Alcantara®. This unique fabric, forged from 65 per cent recycled polyester, became a canvas for intricate design sketches, artfully embroidered directly onto its surface through a cutting-edge technique. A departure from the customary leather motifs, this opulent interior was further elevated by applying black trilobal Superfabric®, gracing the carpets and rear compartment walls like the finest tapestries.
Reserved exclusively for a select circle of connoisseurs deeply steeped in the Ferrari heritage, the 812 Competizione stood as a testament to uncompromising performance. Its mighty 830-horsepower V12 engine, the epitome of power delivery, orchestrated that signature Maranello 12-cylinder symphony, a serenade to the senses. With an independent four-wheel steering system, it danced through corners with unrivalled agility and precision, binding the driver to the very soul of the car, whether traversing winding roads or conquering the racetrack, an experience that ignited the spirit.
