Overview

Why this car matters

Launched in 2021 and delivered from 2022, the Daytona SP3 is the second car in Ferrari's Icona series, after the Monza SP1 and SP2. It uses the LaFerrari-derived chassis and a re-engineered, naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 829 hp / 840 PS at 9,250 rpm — Ferrari's most powerful naturally-aspirated road-car engine.

Production is capped at 599 coupes. Allocation was reserved for established collectors; secondary-market trades sit well above list.

A closed-production, naturally-aspirated V12 hypercar from Ferrari is unlikely to be repeated; the Daytona SP3 anchors the modern Icona family.

Buyer's Guide

What to look for

Provenance and originality

Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. First-allocation cars in factory-correct, restrained Icona-programme specifications hold the strongest provenance value.

Mechanical inspection priorities

The F140 V12 is engineered for low-mileage collector use; service must run through factory-approved Ferrari dealers and the engine's high-rpm character means cold-start discipline is essential. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.

Body, paint and accident history

Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.

Specification strategy

Original colour, documented Ferrari Classiche-style file from delivery, and complete Icona programme paperwork are decisive at this level. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.

Ownership

Living with it

Typical mileage
1,000–4,000 miles typical for collector use
Service interval
12 months; mileage interval varies by model and use
Annual running cost
$15,000 – $60,000+
Fuel economy
8–17 mpg depending on use
Insurance
Use an agreed-value collector or specialist supercar policy with limited mileage, secure storage, documented photography and an annual value review. Premiums vary sharply by age, storage location, declared value and driver profile.

Maintenance planning

Budget annually even if the car is used sparingly. Fluids age, tyres and date-coded rubber components must be replaced regardless of mileage, and stored cars need exercise. A documented maintenance rhythm protects both reliability and resale value.

Parts and specialist access

Service and warranty pass exclusively through Ferrari dealers and Classiche; independent intervention should be avoided. Before purchase, confirm parts availability for model-specific bodywork, electronics, gearbox and engine components. A discounted car waiting on unobtainable parts or a factory service slot is rarely a saving in collector ownership.

Long-term outlook

Blue ChipHorizon: 10+ years

A closed-production naturally-aspirated V12 Ferrari Icona at the apex of the modern era. First-allocation, factory-correct cars should remain blue-chip; speculative resales without documented provenance are more exposed.
