Ferrari Daytona SP3: Icona series mid-engine V12 car
Ferrari Daytona SP3 — limited edition Icona car, unveiled in 2021 and inspired by the 1960s Ferrari racing models that won the Daytona races. We look at its technology and what collectors need to know.
Daytona SP3 in brief
The Daytona SP3 is the third Icona series model after the Monza SP1 and SP2. Its name harks back to the legendary 1967 Daytona 24-hour race, where Ferrari took the top three spots.
The car is produced in limited numbers and is aimed at collectors. Its body is made from carbon fibre, and the roof is removable (targa style).
What makes the SP3 special
It's a two-seater mid-engine car with a striking, race-prototype-inspired design. The standout feature is the removable roof, allowing you to drive almost like a convertible.
The design, aerodynamics, and interior are crafted to make the driver feel like they're in a race car. The cabin is minimalist, focused on driving.
Engine and transmission
The car is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, producing around 840 hp. It's one of the most powerful series-production Ferrari engines, revving to very high speeds.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission.
What to know before buying
The Daytona SP3 can only be purchased through the official Ferrari network or from collectors in the second-hand market. It's crucial to check the documents, provenance, and ensure the car is genuinely registered in the manufacturer's system.
Due to its limited run and high value, it's important to arrange insurance, storage, and maintenance at an official Ferrari service center.
If you're buying from the second-hand market, consult a Ferrari representative or expert for a history and condition check.
