Milan: ferrariof the new high octane model, the Daytona SP3, putting an end to a long wait by lovers of its Icona-series cars, though it may not be welcomed by those trying to curb carbon emissions.
With an 840 horsepower, 12-cylinder (V12) aspirated mid-rear-mounted engine, daytona The SP3 pays homage to the Ferrari 330 P3/4, which dominated the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona.
Ferrari introduced its latest icon As new chief executive Benedetto Vigna on Saturday put the Italian luxury sports car maker on the road to full electrification.
Vigna, a tech industry veteran who in September became CEO of Ferrari, has promised to deliver its first fully electric vehicle in 2025.
Meanwhile, Ferrari fans have been waiting for more than three years for the second Icona after Monza in 2018.
Ferrari’s icons are a limited number of special series cars, reserved for wealthy private collectors and inspired by legendary models of the past.
Recognized by its ‘Prancing Horse’ logo and red racing cars, Ferrari already has three electric hybrid models in its range, including the 296 GTB sports car that was unveiled this year.
Ferrari increasingly reserved its polluting V12 engines for limited series models and Iconas made up just 2% of shipped units last quarter, while V12 cars accounted for 12% of group shipments.
This will make it less than the combined 1,600 V12 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A models launched this year, with a starting price of just under half a million euros ($564,000).
