Ferrari Daytona SP3

During the 2021 Ferrari World Cup Finals, Ferrari introduced the Daytona SP3 model. With a modern design, it is considered the most aerodynamically efficient model ever built.

It is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine from the 812 Competizione with 828 hp (617 kW) and 514 lb-ft (697 Nm) of torque, mounted behind the passenger compartment. For faster gear changes, the engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in less than 3 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 km / h).

In the construction of the Daytona SP3, lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar were used. It is equipped with a new induction and exhaust system, vertical bars at the rear that extend the entire length. There’s also a rear spoiler under which the rear lights are fitted, as well as exhaust pipe ends that give the car a more aggressive look.

The design of the car was inspired by racing models from the 60s: 330P3 / 4, 330P4 and 412P, thus joining the Monza SP1 and SP2 models. It is equipped with specially made Pirelli tires for wet and dry roads.

This will be a limited production model, and Ferrari has not announced how many units will be produced or at what price.

Porsche 911 Safari

For a long time now, Porsche has been intensively testing the new 911 Safari model, which is based on the Carrera S. It is a legal-road rally model with off-road capabilities.

Spy photos show that the suspension is slightly higher than the Carrera S. After testing in the snow, the car is currently being tested near the Nürburgring.

Under the hood will be a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 443 hp (326 kW) and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. According to some information, the Safari will have all-wheel drive, and power will be transmitted via a 7-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK. It reaches 60 mph in just over 3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km / h). It is equipped with 20-inch rims wrapped in 295/40 Pirelli tires.

There are still many questions about the specifications of the Porsche 911 Safari. Will it enter mass production and when? Will it be a limited edition? How much will it cost? So far, we only have rumors without official confirmation.
