The V12 could continue to be used in the next model.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 car is one of the most interesting new models from the automaker. Retro-inspired V12-powered sports cars offer a glimpse of classic Ferrari designs, reinterpreted to suit the future. It joins the Ferrari Monza SP1_ and SP2, which were both revealed three years ago.
You’ll love Enrico Galliera’s comments about the upcoming Icona models if you like the Daytona SP3 just as much as we do. Galliera stated to Autocar that there were “four or five possible concepts” that he could work on.
Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s head designer, had the idea to take inspiration from iconic prototypes. He’s also a strong advocate for more.
Manzoni stated, “I have a special passion about this one.” There are many more intriguing concepts that will be available in the future. Ferrari’s richness is unmatched and there are no limits to its potential.
The Daytona SP3 is based on an evolved version of LaFerrari Aperta’s chassis. However, it’s not a supercar. According to Michael Leiters, Ferrari chief technical officer, the Daytona SP3 is not a supercar. He pointed out that the Daytona’s design is more important than ultimate performance.
Lieters stated that the V12 engine can be extended in the age electrification via the Icona range. This is a great opportunity that meets the customer’s needs. It has a minimal impact on CO2 emissions, as the Icona range’s production is limited.
“I believe that we must fight for this engine. It’s not the most efficient technology-wise. It could be more powerful with a V8 turbo. It’s also the most emotional car you can buy. It doesn’t matter if you have 829bhp power or the Battista 1900bhp. If you’re a skilled driver, either one will make you happy. You get excited if you’re a good driver with either.
