Exceptional Ferrari Daytona SP3 sets new heights at auction
Ferrari Daytona SP3 Sets New Record as Most Expensive New Ferrari Ever Sold at Auction
The Ferrari Daytona SP3, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece from Maranello, has made history as the most expensive new Ferrari ever sold at auction. The car, a unique "Tailor Made" 2025 model, was commissioned and built by Ferrari specifically for the Monterey Car Week auction.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 boasts a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing an impressive 618kW and 697Nm. This powerful engine propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.85 seconds, and it reaches a top speed north of 340km/h.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 pays tribute to the mid-engined sports prototypes that earned Ferrari racing glory in the '60s. Its design, crafted by the Tailor Made department of Ferrari, features exposed carbon fibre bodywork and a Giallo Modena livery, evoking the spirit of Ferrari's racing heritage.
The interior of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is equally remarkable. The seats are woven from fabric derived from recycled tyres, reflecting Ferrari's commitment to sustainability.
The sale of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 secured a collector a slice of Maranello history and potential unmatched bragging rights. The car was the overall top sale of Monterey Car Week, with a final price of approximately NZ$44.7 million (26 million USD).
Proceeds from the sale of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 will go to the Ferrari Foundation, a US-recognised charity. The Ferrari Foundation supports educational initiatives, ensuring that the spirit of innovation and passion for excellence that drives Ferrari continues to inspire future generations.
The next priciest car sold at Monterey Car Week was an F40 LM, at just over US$11m (NZ$18.9m). However, the Ferrari Daytona SP3's price tag dwarfed its competitors, selling at auction for more than 10 times its retail price.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 is part of Ferrari's Icona series, a collection of limited-edition models inspired by iconic Ferrari models from the past. With its powerful engine, sleek design, and commitment to sustainability, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is a testament to Ferrari's enduring legacy and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.
