We Had a Close Call While Driving the 2023 Ferrari Daytona SP3

Read the full story here: www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...
As far as we're aware, Ferrari does not have a space program. So if you've got space-travel-level funds, and you want to spend $2.2 million of it with the Prancing Horse marque, maybe you're one of the excessively fortunate 599 clienti who will be purchasing a Ferrari Daytona SP3. If so, go ahead and buy a matching space suit in Rosso Corsa. We won't judge.

I'm not a huge Ferrari fan. Yet, there are a few standouts in their long respected history that I cannot deny my admiration for. This one is cut from a different cloth. I'm confounded by it's beauty.

[@brentkuehne435]

The SP3 is absolutely mesmerizing, cant get enough of this car !!!

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Bingo. More of a Museum showpiece is a understatement. Ferrari is listed as a luxury brand, and these Icona series cars are more or less robber baron/Oil Sheik cars.

[@allensaunders449]

It's a handmade limited product what do you think it will cost. Regular Ferrari's aren't cheap. I'd love to have this car

[@krugerfreddy8148]

Yes but you gotta like the headlights that 'wink' !

[@alexc6582]

Luxury sports car brand

[@paulh6517]

Car and Driver scored big when they got you Carlos. Edmunds lost their best and C/D got the best. Keep up the good work.👍

[@FarAboveDaCloudz]

You said it brotha!

[@cabeallen1277]

Finally, some good production quality and post editing/color grading! Thank you.

[@botcct7614]

This work of art may stand among the greatest sculptures of the history.

[@eliotsalandybrown]

Carlos your clarity and wisdom make you such a great presenter to watch 🙏

[@aaa84gt]

One thing is for certain; the looks of this car is extremely divided in opinions. All I see are either 'love it' or 'hate it' comments. I for one love it!

[@KevZJ]

Great video! The close call was that you drove past a tractor? Very clickbait

[@SkiKat-USA]

Wonderful review, as usual. I learned a lot about this distinctive automobile! Great videography.

[@ThatRosco458]

Great video....but still waiting for the next window shop!

[@krugerfreddy8148]

I'm not a fan of mid-engine cars but this is a total knock-out and bitchin' to the MAX! The back end is remarkable and reminded me of the Testarosa. The paint job and the wheels are astonishingly beautiful and I'm guessing large crowds will be gathering when parked ! One disappointment...the seat(s). Ferrari has made some of the nicest leather seats to be found any where: think the original Daytona. The foam seat just ain't makin it, sadly. Also, the drivers head in this video was in constant contact with the back of his head: not good! However, this car will be worth twice what it costs now in a very few years, no doubt!!!

[@allwheeldrive]

Milestone Ferrari. I'm 65 and I want a poster of it for my office. Instant legend. Great review, Carlos.

[@danielmartini3229]

at 0:23 what was that behind the tractor? looked pretty super as well

[@netgnostic1627]

Damn. That's beautiful. I bet the Corvette C8 design team will look at this car, and think, "we coulda, woulda, shoulda ..."

[@chacazulo1987]

If anyone needs help, the song in the intro is “no hands” by bundeswehr. Cool song. Also great car.

[@speedkingracer2103]

Beautiful vehicle.

[@billshoe22191]

Sounds great, but looks ..... busy. Way too much going on styling wise. They tried to cram too much into one design. It's funny as the latest Ford GT looks stunning but sounds like a modified 370Z while the SP3 looks like a modified, modified, modified Ferrari, but sounds simply fantastic.

[@93455Driver]

Agreed, busy, fussy, and well too much design :/ Prefer the Portofino design.

[@EnzoNotFerrari21]

The front and doors are amazing, but the back I kinda prefer the Laferrari’s back imo

[@ArmandoDomingos]

This somehow looks better on video than it does in pictures.

[@elmadi7391]

same here.... photos makes the car looks awkward

[@PaulTooLive]

It looks so good

[@TeksTherapy]

How is Car and Driver NOT in 4k?

[@JJPMustang]

Looks better coming than going IMO

[@joekavalauskas8767]

LOVE the wheels

[@michaelgundersen2982]

Thats got to be the sickest car ive seen!

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Personally, I think they should ask James Glickenhaus for a second opinion before making this type of car.

[@salmanfarruz]

If I could have only one Ferrari in history in my garage, this would be it.

[@aab350z]

Looks like a life size Hot Wheels car.

[@nicholaschase768]

Ferraris are easily the nicest looking cars in history, along with the American Muscle cars in the late 60s early 70s but they’re a brand truly for old, rich men willing to spend countless amounts of money to keep their car maintained. It’s a weird kink for rich guys, like Jay Leno said lol. But they’re stunning, no doubt.

[@yerrie1908]

In Europe you will find lots of people who will put loads of kilometers on it and wash it every 3 months, I know one who smokes in all of his crazy stuff he has. In germany in the 90's there was dude who daily drove a Mclaren F1 to the office and daily hit the 300km/h mark 😄

[@jodan4043]

Ferrari makes jewellery! Not like Ford GT with Focus buttons and commodos on board ? For half a million...

[@hansnordlander2618]

Awesome car as all Ferraris are!! Wan't one for sure if i had the money💰of course

[@b286guy]

Not a bad little car!

[@egzonsalihu1451]

Ferrari is work of art, is beautiful.🚀🚀😍❤️

[@hdahir545]

First tell me who the hell selected blue interior with red paint I think tan or red interior would be perfect for this paint

[@Kamukix]

No real footage at the lovely Zandvoort, not hugely surprised but still sad 😢

[@jeffreycollier1805]

You had more smiles per mile in the Z06. That's what it's really about I think.

[@z06doc86]

The rear fascia looks like something designed by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.

[@steelsurgery1564]

This is most s e x u a l body of modern Ferrari's. Respect from Russia

[@josephjewellers]

Beautiful

[@dubistmirzugeheimnisvoll1640]

I didnt like it at first on pictures but when its driving it looks quite six. But not in red i think it doesn’t look this good in red

[@gabrielbarcellos1036]

Facilmente a melhor V12 moderna da Ferrari, o único pecado foi não ter feito com câmbio manual

[@AK-de7jn]

I thought the bars in the back were all lights

[@davidreynolds6718]

This car is stunningly beautiful - as all Ferraris ought to be. The SF90 is not.

[@woocoheed]

Would have loved actual pop up headlights. Not sure if that is street legal nowadays though

[@Maul505]

Yeah although these ones are a close second

[@ramadhanisyafitri1620]

Perfect

[@joecampbell4199]

I really wanted to ilke this car. I love the Ferrari 3/4. However this is just polarizing, way too busy. To me the most beautiful Cars to come out of 2022 is the Koenigsegg cc8-50 and the p72.

MotorTrend did even worse getting rid of Carlos. Were left with Lieberman after Camissa was ousted, look where they are on now, life support.

Anyone know what color that is?

Yes. It’s red.

[@shottadancer]

6’5 sitting in that little thing I doubt it lol

[@johntechwriter]

That this car is considered beautiful by anyone indicates how badly standards have degraded. And they named it Daytona? Unless you crave embarrassment, do not park this thing in the same city as its namesake. They should have called it the Dubai.

[@alessandroroveda2859]

Did he pass a bugatti at 0:23

[@DaveFuucck]

My brother in Christ - you are driving a 2.3m dollar Ferrari that only a handful of people will ever drive. You do not need a clickbait title!

[@paulm6481]

Unique driving position means you are too close to steering wheel man , be honest

[@venom5809]

I love it, it is gorgeous.

*except for that hideously jackass interior color choice.

You’re driving in Europe, everything is a close call.

[@michaelgundersen2982]

Like everywhere else :p

[@CLaFong]

Some constructive criticism form someone easily annoyed. You probably didn't need to use the word "vehicle" at all while talking about this car. It is a stilted filler word that makes you sound a little less relatable and likeable. I should know since I have no experience in this area.

[@MICHGO1]

IT'S HOMELY.

[@SpaNT650]

I'm tingling ... Like Ferrari's electronic nanny has been abusing me with lies and deceptions of my driving ability! If you can't heel/toe you're not a car person! If you can't threshold brake ... go back to driving school!

[@live4life767]

Bellezza sensuale con un tocco di bestia di leone.

[@logicman7028]

Lambo doors???? The horse paying homage to the bull?

[@DaBrute]

Idk man, I keep seeing a Plymouth Prowler 😣

[@scottielambert9312]

My goodness that’s a lovely car

[@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288]

If Ferrari puts their money and time on a project, they can make a really ugly car.

[@johntechwriter]

That they get away with it indicates the power of the brand. Under any other badge, this car would be a laughingstock. A current-generation exotic must above all else be attention getting. Ideally the roof would come off so the plebes could get a look at the pandemic profiteer who didn’t have a pot to piss in five years ago, and won’t five years from now.

[@roger_is_red]

NO MORE ICE

[@paulm6481]

I much rather have the Corvette Z06 mid engine

[@michaelgundersen2982]

Lol

[@999NINE99]

It's too much. There design cues are disjointed and lead to many lines that don't make sense or flow. Not a fan.

[@robertborne895]

Sounds great. Looks…not so much

[@thnktank1]

So beautiful I won't even drive it, I'd just stare at it. Put it in the great room please.
