C & # 39; & egrave; always a great emotion when Ferrari presents its new car. And if this supercar & egrave; a special limited edition model of the & quot; Icona & quot; family, it is immediately clear that this is a car destined to leave its mark. We are talking about the new Ferrari Daytona SP3 , a supercar inspired by the world of 1960s Sports Prototypes. The presentation took place at the Mugello international racetrack, as part of the Ferrari 2021 Finali Mondiali.

The & quot; Icon & quot; series was born in 2018 with the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, cars inspired by the racing boats of the 1950s. A few years later, the Daytona SP3 arrives, destined to become a new point of reference. Only 599 copies will be builtalready all gone sold. The price? € 2 million .

TRIBUTE TO THE PAST

As mentioned above, Ferrari has & egrave; inspired by the racing cars of the 60s to realize the design of its new supercar.

The cockpit with the wraparound windshield of the Daytona SP3 takes on the appearance of a dome set in a sensual sculpture whose fenders, equally sinuous, emerge decisively. The general balance is emphasized by the monolithic aspect of the volumes that communicate the ability typical manufacturing of the Italian bodywork. The sensation is; that of being in front of an object where fluidity & agrave; of the masses is combined with more surfaces; incisive in order to create that aesthetic balance that has always characterized the history of the Maranello company.

The 330 P3 and P4 that were the protagonists in 1967 inspired the technicians of the Prancing Horse the most. of the 24 Hours of Daytona. Also from the world of Sport Prototypes comes the choice of equipping the car with a & quot; Targa & quot; body.with removable hard top. The rear-view mirrors are located forward of the doors, another strong nod to the Sports Prototypes of the 1960s.

Obviously, there is; great care was taken in the development of aerodynamics.

Unpublished components, such as the extraction chimneys on the bottom, make the Daytona SP3 the Ferrari without the most active appendages. aerodynamically efficient so far produced.

Among the most important solutions; interesting models adopted to achieve the goal of maximum aerodynamic efficiency , that of integrating the air boxes into the wingspan doors. Choice that allows you to channel the air towards the radiators on the side. The surface of the door helps manage the flow of air from the wheel well.

Then we note the front & quot; flattened & quot; which is characterized by the presence of small fins at the ends; of the bumper that allow to improve the aerodynamic flow. In the back, characterized by the presence of horizontal lines that make the look even more; particular, we find a huge carbon extractor. The tailpipes have been positioned more at the top just to leave room for the extractor. The bottom of the supercar & egrave; been studied carefully with the aim of increasing the more aerodynamic downforce is possible.

Even for the interior, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 draws inspiration from Ferraris such as the 330 P3/P4, the 312 P and the 350 Can-Am. We find a minimal design, leather and carbon fiber finishes and seats integrated into the body. To remind us, however, that this is a modern car, the presence of digital instrumentation.

V12 ENGINE

The beating heart of the Ferrari Daytona SP3, a 6.5-liter V12 engine based on that of the 812 Competizione relocated to & ograve; in a central-rear position to optimize the intake and exhaust layout, as well as; fluid dynamic efficiency. The optimization work has made it possible to create the most internal combustion engine; powerful so far developed by Ferrari. It is called F140HC and & egrave; capable of delivering 840 hp (618 kW) and 697 Nm of torque. The red zone starts at 9,500 rpm. The engine & egrave; combined with a 7-speed double-clutch gearbox.

Particular attention is paid to; was put to the reduction of weight and inertia of the engine through the adoption of titanium connecting rods and other solutions. The performances, of course, are very high. The speed maximum exceeds 340 km/h . To go from 0 to 100 km/h it takes just 2.85 seconds, while to reach 200 km/h from a standstill it takes only 7.4 seconds.
