Some cars are built for the road. Others are built for a statement. The limited edition, limitless adventure Ferrari 812 Superfast 8XX by Onyx Concept belongs firmly in the second category, arriving at Dourado Luxury Cars in Al Quoz as one of the most visually and mechanically arresting Ferraris we've ever brought into our showroom. Finished in an unmissable Giallo Modena Yellow and powered by a naturally aspirated V12 producing 870 horsepower, this 2021 model is not simply a Ferrari 812 Superfast - it is a reimagined interpretation of one, transformed by the German tuning house Onyx Concept into something rarer still.
For Dubai's collectors, the appeal of a car like this lies as much in its exclusivity as in its performance. The 812 Superfast was already one of Ferrari's most potent front-engined V12 grand tourers; the 8XX programme by Onyx Concept takes that foundation and pushes it further, both in presence and in engineering ambition. It's the kind of car that rewards a closer look, and it sits comfortably among the wider selection available through our full inventory of luxury and exotic cars, where limited-run builds like this one are very much the rule rather than the exception.
This particular 812 Superfast 8XX also isn't the only Onyx-modified Ferrari currently in our care. Collectors weighing up their options can compare it against our Ferrari 812 GTS 8XX 1 OF 1 by Onyx Concept, a convertible sibling that shares the same design philosophy but with its own one-of-one identity. Seeing both side by side underlines just how differently Onyx approaches each commission, even when starting from the same Maranello platform.
A V12 Icon, Reworked
The standard Ferrari 812 Superfast was already a landmark in Ferrari's front-engined lineage, built around a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 that represents one of the last of its kind in an era increasingly defined by turbocharging and electrification. Onyx Concept's 8XX programme takes this engine and chassis package and reworks the exterior with a comprehensive aerodynamic and styling upgrade, resulting in a car that produces 870 horsepower - a meaningful step up from the factory figure - while retaining the visceral, high-revving character that makes the 812 platform so coveted among purists.
What makes this particular build stand out is the combination of that mechanical pedigree with a genuinely limited-edition design language. Onyx Concept doesn't mass-produce these conversions; each 8XX car reflects a considered reworking of bodywork, aerodynamics and detailing, meaning very few examples exist worldwide. For a market like Dubai, where exclusivity is often as important as outright performance, that scarcity carries real weight.
Giallo Modena: A Colour With History
Ferrari's Giallo Modena yellow is one of the most historically significant colours in the marque's palette, tracing its roots back to the yellow used on the city of Modena's coat of arms and long associated with Ferrari's competition heritage before becoming a signature road-car option. On the 812 Superfast 8XX, that colour takes on new intensity, working with Onyx Concept's revised bodywork to create a car that photographs as dramatically stationary in a showroom as it does moving through Dubai's streets after dark.
It's a colour choice that suits the car's personality. Where some limited editions favour understated finishes to let their engineering speak quietly, this 812 Superfast 8XX makes no such compromise - it announces itself, and does so with a shade of yellow that has been part of Ferrari's identity for decades. Enthusiasts curious about the marque's approach to colour and design heritage can explore more directly via Ferrari's official site.
The Onyx Concept Approach to Limited Editions
Onyx Concept has built its reputation on taking already-exceptional cars and refining them into something more singular, whether through aerodynamic bodywork, bespoke interior treatments, or - as with several examples in our own showroom - true one-of-one builds. Beyond this Ferrari, the tuner's portfolio within our collection extends to Rolls-Royce, including the Cullinan NEEV Limited Edition and multiple Wraith conversions, as well as the striking G8X Oscar finished in Nardo Grey. Each project follows a similar principle: take a car that is already rare, and make it rarer still.
For buyers exploring the wider world of Onyx Concept's work, our Onyx Concept collection offers a useful overview of just how varied these builds can be, spanning SUVs, saloons and now this V12 grand tourer. Those with an interest in Rolls-Royce's own take on bespoke luxury may also want to browse our Rolls Royce collection, several examples of which have also passed through Onyx Concept's workshop.
Why It Matters for Dubai Buyers
The UAE has long been one of the world's most receptive markets for limited-production and heavily personalised vehicles, and a car like this Ferrari 812 Superfast 8XX fits naturally into that landscape. It combines a genuinely potent, naturally aspirated V12 - increasingly rare as the industry shifts direction - with the kind of visual distinction that ensures no two showroom visits, or driveway arrivals, ever look quite the same. For collectors building a garage around genuinely scarce Ferraris, rather than simply desirable ones, this is precisely the sort of car worth prioritising.
