Ferrari Daytona SP3 2022

The Daytona name directly recalls Ferrari’s 1967 endurance-racing triumph, but the Daytona SP3 is the first Ferrari road car to use the name officially. At its Mugello presentation, the new car was accompanied by the 330 P3/4, 330 P4 and 412 P prototypes, visually connecting the modern model with its historic racing references. Its design also earned the Red Dot: Best of the Best award in 2022.

Ferrari planned the Daytona SP3 as a limited run of 599 cars. The model was revealed in November 2021 as part of the Icona program, and Ferrari later stated that the original allocation had been sold. Its restricted production supports the car’s collector status, but it does not alter the underlying technical identity: every regular example uses the same mid-rear-engined layout, naturally aspirated V12 and rear-wheel-drive configuration. In July 2025, Ferrari announced one additional Tailor Made example for a charity auction, identified as “599+1.” That car was added after the original allocation and should be understood as a special exception rather than the start of another regular production series.

Specialist publications have generally emphasized the Daytona SP3’s character and design rather than treating it as a straightforward performance exercise. Car and Driver highlighted the combination of dramatic styling, an 829-hp rating in its customary horsepower conversion and extreme exclusivity, while also pointing to the price and restricted access. MotorTrend noted the relationship between the carbon-fiber structure and the LaFerrari Aperta, as well as the role of Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer. Autocar focused on the naturally aspirated V12’s sound and high-revving delivery, arguing that the car is aimed more at experience and character than at outright lap-time supremacy. Across these assessments, the same theme appears: the SP3 is as much an emotional and historical Ferrari as it is a very high-performance road car.
