Ferrari brings bespoke elegance to Monterey for a cause.
As the Goodwood Festival of Speed quickly approaches at the end of this week, the next major event on the automotive calendar, and one that is swiftly approaching, is Monterey Car Week. The idyllic West Coast location turns into the world’s most important and prestigious automotive capital for a week, where the planet’s most exclusive, coveted, desirable, valuable and rare cars gather for luxurious gatherings with the background of some of California’s most stunning coastal views.
This year, Ferrari is bringing something big to Monterey Car Week, specifically, an example of its Daytona SP3, the most recent member of Ferrari’s ultra-exclusive Icona Series, and a historically inspired supercar masterpiece with Ferrari’s first mid-mounted, non-hybrid V12 since the Enzo. The 599-car allocation of the Daytona SP3 has been sold out, but this specific example is added, bringing the total to 600 examples.
With a stunningly unique Tailor Made configuration that splits the car in two across its length, exposed carbon fiber and Giallo Modena are juxtaposed, with Ferrari’s iconic lettering boldly displayed across the car in the first livery application of its kind. Meanwhile, the interior features fabric upholstery crafted from recycled tires with a unique Prancing Horse motif, as well as a dashboard with F1-derived carbon fiber, nodding to Ferrari’s rich racing heritage.
The car is set to be auctioned during the adrenaline-fueled festivities of Monterey Car Week, with all the proceeds from the sale set to benefit the Ferrari Foundation, a charity organization that contributes to various educational projects, including Save the Children, where Ferrari’s donation recently contributed to rebuilding the Aveson Charter School in Altadena, California which was affected by the Eaton Wildfire earlier this year. With a noble cause and a stunning Tailor Made Ferrari behind it, the auction of the 600th Ferrari Daytona SP3 will certainly be a highlight of this year’s Monterey Car Week.
