FERRARI UNVEILS A ONE-OFF DAYTONA SP3 FOR CHARITY: CARBON, V12 THUNDER, AND A WHOLE LOT OF HEART
What do you give to someone who already has everything, including one of Ferrari’s 599 Daytona SP3s? Easy. You give them the number 599+1. And it’s not just a cheeky nod to exclusivity - it’s a one-off machine, built for a cause. Set to go under the hammer with RM Sotheby’s during Monterey Car Week 2025, this ultra-rare Tailor Made Ferrari Daytona SP3 is Ferrari’s way of going all-in for charity. The proceeds? 100% of it goes to The Ferrari Foundation, supporting global educational initiatives. Fast cars doing good things - that’s something SXdrv can get behind. This special Daytona SP3 is more than just a hyper-exclusive V12 supercar - it’s a rolling showcase of what Ferrari’s Tailor Made programme can do when it really flexes. The exterior is a two-tone symphony of exposed carbon fibre and Giallo Modena, accented with a full-length Ferrari logotype - a first for the brand. Glossy black aero elements highlight the splitter, sills, and rear diffuser, giving the car a razor-sharp stance. Inside, things get even more experimental: the cabin is trimmed in a high-tech material made from recycled tyres, stitched with an exclusive Prancing Horse motif that blends sustainability with style. Oh, and parts of the dashboard and steering column are made from the same carbon fibre used in Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars - just in case anyone forgot where this brand cut its teeth. This isn’t just another pretty face, either. The Daytona SP3 is the second jewel in Ferrari’s Icona series, a line of ultra-limited specials inspired by Ferrari’s most legendary endurance racers - in this case, the glorious mid-rear-engined V12 prototypes from the '60s.
Under the sleek retro-futurist skin sits a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 that belts out 618 kW at a howling 9,250 rpm with a healthy torque figure rated at 697 Nm. It’ll crack 0–100 km/h in 2.85 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 7.4, and run on to well over 340 km/h. All of it delivered through a 7-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox, keeping things brutally quick yet razor sharp. But this car’s real power lies in what it represents - a vehicle built not for profit, but for purpose. The funds raised will go toward Ferrari's educational programmes, including the rebuilding of schools like the Aveson Charter School in California, which was tragically lost in the Eaton wildfire. This isn’t about another collector ticking off another box. This is about a brand using its reach, reputation, and racing bloodline to give something back. And in typical Ferrari fashion, they’ve done it with style, substance, and a V12 roar that echoes far beyond the auction floor. If you’re at Monterey in August and looking to make history - while making a difference - this might just be the most meaningful car you’ll see all week.
