A one-off Daytona SP3 Tailor Made has been sold at the RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction. Now, a regular SP3 would fetch around $5-6 million at auction. This one, though, was a bit special and went for an insane price of $26 million! The good thing is that all the proceeds from the sale will benefit ‘The Ferrari Foundation’.
The special Daytona SP3 features a two-tone carbon fibre finish and Giallo Modena bodywork. The front splitter, sills and rear diffuser are finished in gloss black.
One of the unique design elements is the Ferrari logotype in Giallo Modena that occupies the complete upper body. It’s the first time that the Ferrari logo has been applied to a livery in this way.
The interior of this Daytona SP3 is trimmed in an innovative fabric derived from recycled tires. The dashboard and steering wheel are made from a type of carbon fibre used in Formula 1.
Now, the Daytona SP3 was a limited-edition model with only 599 units produced. This one, though, will be numbered 599+1, as the planned production is already sold out.
The Daytona SP3 is powered by a heavily modified V12 engine that powers the 812 Competizione. The 6.5-liter unit has been tuned to produce 829 hp and 697 lb-ft of torque and comes paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It can do 0-62 mph in 2.85 seconds and the top speed is 211 mph.
