Ferrari is virtually synonymous with the concept of the V12 engine, and that’s a characteristic that is going through a bit of a change in today’s automotive world. As engineering and technology change, and automakers are becoming more environmentally conscious, an unfortunate side-effect of that is that the V12 has become somewhat of a dying breed. Many manufacturers have retired V12s from their line-ups entirely, and a select few are still keeping them alive. The Ferrari Daytona SP3, as a celebration of Ferrari’s long history, is one of the cars that serve this purpose.
