Maranello’s modern hypercar comes best in threes.
Engineered as both a track weapon and the future of an Italian legacy built on craftsmanship and performance, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 epitomizes Enzo’s drive to stay true to the brand and its racing roots. Today, with monumental predecessors like the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari, the Daytona SP3 continues to write its own chapter with 599 examples allocated to Ferrari’s most VIP clients, often joining already-impressive collections of Italian prancing horses. Showcasing Ferrari’s wide spectrum of colors and a small percentage of its production, the team at Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, CT, recently gathered three of its clients’ Daytona SP3 hypercars for what looks to be the photoshoot of the year.
Starting with the most traditional, heritage-forward spec, the first of the SP3 trio comes finished in multi-layer Rosso Magma with hand-painted Ferrari shields. Delivered new back in February, the build also features other personalized touches, courtesy of the owner, like matte bronze finished wheels and an American flag badge on the rear bumper. Next in the lineup takes on a more sinister style with a classic Nero Daytona paint scheme, accentuated by a set of satin-finished factory silver wheels and hand-painted Ferrari shields. Taking ownership back in March, the all-black Daytona SP3 remains a timeless spec that blends the past and future of Ferrari. And last, but certainly not least, a seriously stunning Daytona SP3 that is new to us, sporting a color that is unknown to us, but what we will call a metallic light purple carbon. The light viola shade showcases a whole new appearance to the car, exposing its carbon fiber structure while highlighting its racing roots with a silver Scuderia-style racing stripe. Add in beautiful hand-painted Ferrari shields, and those gloss silver forged wheels, and we may have a contender for best Daytona SP3 spec of all time.
When it comes to the cabin, these owners optioned for their Daytona SP3s with vibrant interior designs that shy away from traditional black and beige leathers, pushing the creative boundaries of Ferrari’s upholstery team. And while carbon fiber seems to cover almost every inch of the interior, helping to identify its ultra-lightweight DNA, the carbon Daytona-style seats act as a blank canvas for limitless color options. All the colors featured look to pair perfectly with their exterior paint choices: Oro Jeans Aunde on the Rosso Magma, blue for the Nero Daytona, and a grey alcantara inside the exposed purple carbon.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 pairs its design heritage with some truly impressive mechanical credentials, starting with a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 that produces 829 horsepower and revs to an astonishing 9,500 rpm. Power is managed through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering quick, precise shifts that keep the car composed even as it works through its upper range. Performance numbers reinforce just how capable the SP3 is: 0–62 mph sprint in roughly 2.8 seconds, 0–124 mph in about 7.4 seconds, and top speed exceeds 211 mph.
