Inspired by the historic race cars that dominated the 24 Hours of Daytona race in the 1960s, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is one of the most exclusive Prancing Horse creations today. It features a stunning retro-inspired yet futuristic design, a powerful mid-mounted V12 engine, and a driving experience that is instantly recognizable as that of a Ferrari masterpiece. Part of Ferrari’s Icona series, the Daytona SP3 is highly exclusive and made to stand out even among other supercars.
However, one example of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is even more special, as it belongs to Scuderia Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc, who has customized it to be one of the most unique examples of the special supercar yet. In a new video published on Ferrari’s YouTube channel, the Prancing Horse explores what makes Leclerc’s supercar so special.
It was customized in conjunction with Charles Leclerc himself and Ferrari’s Tailor Made team. A matte black color scheme gives the supercar a sleek, somewhat understated look. However, the configuration was chosen to echo the look of one of Leclerc’s racing helmets, which combined matte black with red and white central stripe detail, the colors of Monaco’s flag, where Leclerc hails from.
The car is configured in the same manner, with matte black contrasted by a red and white central stripe. In addition, some of the beautiful carbon fiber details in the bodywork of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 are subtly highlighted with thin red stripes along the edges. A large Ferrari Scuderia shield is painted on the side, and Leclerc’s #16 racing number highlights Ferrari’s motorsport heritage and Leclerc’s contribution to the longstanding legacy.
The interior features a contrasting look, with bright red upholstery. White contrast piping forms the look of the Monegasque flag yet again in the bespoke interior. The flag also features a small detail on the car’s paddle shifters. Another bespoke detail is a small center plaque emblazoned with Leclerc’s racing number and signature. Realizing a dream both as a racing driver for Ferrari and an owner of one of the brand’s most prestigious supercars, Charles Leclerc’s bespoke Ferrari Daytona SP3 is a special occasion and a milestone of an incredible racing career.
