Quote>"At the rear, there’s a central ‘spine’ that runs down the middle of the bodywork, incorporating a clear panel to show some of the V12 engine. The ultra-slim tail-lights, meanwhile, are housed in a complex ‘multi-blade’ arrangement, which sits above a sophisticated diffuser and twin tailpipes. Overall, the shape delivers the greatest raw aerodynamic efficiency of any Ferrari - in ‘passive’ form, without any moving ‘active’ aero parts.

Instead of the LaFerrari’s electrically assisted 6.3-litre V12 powertrain, the Daytona SP3 uses a retuned version of the 812 Competizione’s 6.5-litre unit. The changes are significant enough for the motor to earn its own code; F140HC, instead of the F140HB designation used in the 812.

The engine uses titanium con rods, which are 40 per cent lighter than steel items, and a switch of material for the pistons. The crankshaft has been rebalanced and is three per cent lighter. These changes, and alterations to the air intake and exhaust system, help to make the engine the most powerful internal combustion motor ever fitted to a Ferrari. The total output is 829bhp (around 10bhp more than the 812) and 697Nm of torque, while the engine revs to 9,500rpm.

These raw numbers - and a retuned seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that delivers faster shifts - help to take the 1,485kg (dry weight) Daytona SP3 from 0-62mph in 2.85 seconds, and from rest to 124mph in just 7.4 seconds. The top speed is “in excess of 211mph”, Ferrari says.

Inside, the cabin has further nods to competition cars; the blue upholstered seats are designed to echo the fabric of old-style racing buckets, and this material is used further on the door inserts to make the cabin feel wider. The seats themselves are integrated into the chassis and are therefore fixed; the pedal box moves instead.

The steering wheel features Ferrari’s familiar Manettino switch, which offers different driving modes that adjust a number of the car’s settings - including the profile of the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer, the firm’s lateral dynamics control system.

Ferrari plans on producing 599 examples of the Daytona SP3; that’s 100 more than the total number of Monza SP1 and Sp2s that were made, and the increase is down to the fact that the Daytona will be homologated for road use worldwide. The car will cost two million euros in Italy, including local taxes, so UK customers should expect to spend just over £2m.

All 599 examples have already been allocated to clients, Ferrari says; the firm focused on existing Monza SP1 or SP2 owners, then a select list of potential customers in regions where those cars were not road legal, such as the United States. The first deliveries are expected before the end of 2022, and the production run will continue until 2024.

Q and A: Michael Leiters
Ferrari’s Chief Technology Officer Michael Leiters gives his view on the company’s latest Icona model, the Daytona SP3.

Q: Was this a particularly fast project?

A: We don’t talk specifics but we have already said that typically we have between 30 and 43 months to get to the start of commercial sales. This car is between those figures but closer to 30 than it is 43.

Q: The design team is said to have led the Daytona SP3 project. Did that approach give you any particular challenges?

A: The engine was quite difficult. To get to the power figure is difficult, in the engine itself but also from an integration point of view. It was quite challenging, without redoing all of the engine, obviously."

New Ferrari "HYPERCAR!" OMG!

LaFerrari Aperta Donuts:

LaFerrari Aperta vs Ferrari 125S extreme tough battle! XD

Considering the US spyder version is over 100kg heavier than the European coupe version, those numbers I guarantee are wrong... or should I say, a lie?

top speed: over 350kph
0-100kph: <3 sec
0-200kph: <7 sec
0-300kph: 15 sec
