This Ferrari Daytona SP3 pays tribute to Enzo Ferrari

Enzo Ferrari was an Italian motor racing driver, entrepreneur and founder of the Ferrari automobile marque. He is largely responsible for the company’s success and the development of some of its legendary models. His son, Piero Ferrari, decided to pay tribute to his late father with a personalized Daytona SP3.

This special Daytona SP3 is painted in the blue and white combination that were the official colors of American racing cars in the 1960s. It was an FIA regulation that required each car to use the colors of the country in which it was based. Although Ferrari is not an American brand, that year it was racing under the flag of the North American Racing Team and so used the blue and white combination. It was inspired by the 250LM Pininfarina model which had the same color combination and a red interior.

The Daytona SP3 is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.5-L V12 engine with 840 hp (626 kW). As a visitor, the original 250LM was powered by a naturally-aspirated 3.0-L V12 engine with about 314 hp (234 kW).

Auctions

1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti is up for auction

At the 1963 Paris Auto Show, Ferrari introduced the 250 LM as the successor to its premier GT-class racer, the 250 GTO. It was produced until 1965, and only 32 units left the factory. One of them, the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti is up for auction.

When Ferrari launched the 250 LM, FIA regulations required that manufacturers produce at least 100 road-legal cars of the model, which Ferrari failed to do, and the FIA ​​refused to homologate it. This meant that the 250 LM had to compete in the prototype class until 1996, when it was homologated as a Group 4 Sports Car.

This 250 LM, chassis number 5893, was the sixth production car to leave the factory. It was delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors, whose North American Racing (NART) team achieved Ferrari’s sixth consecutive victory at Le Mans. It was also the only privately owned Ferrari to ever win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Some interesting facts about this car include that it is the only Ferrari built during the Enzo Ferrari era to compete in six 24-hour races, including three times at Le Mans and three times at the 24 Hours of Daytona. It last raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1970, after which it was kept in a museum. It is in excellent condition, with its matching-numbers engine and gearbox.

It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.3-L V12 engine with 320 hp (238 kW) mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The auction will take place on 4 – 5 February 2025, and the estimated value of the car is €25,000,000 EUR.

Tuning

Ferrari Purosangue V12 is louder than ever

Since Ferrari launched its first SUV, the Purosangue, many tuners have based their projects on this model. One of the latest is Novitec and its equipment kit that takes the Ferrari SUV to the next level.

Novitec has equipped the Purosangue with a new set of sport springs, which lower the car by 25 to 30 mm. The springs are compatible with the factory lift system, and can also be paired with aluminum spacers for a wider track and a more aggressive stance. There is also a set of gold NF11 forged wheels, and NF9 and NF10 wheel sets are also available in any color.

Under the hood is still a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox whose performance is 35 percent higher, transmitting up to 1,200 Nm in dynamic torque during gear shifts. Buyers can choose between a racing exhaust system without flap-regulation and a racing exhaust system with flap-regulation, sport metal catalysts and stainless steel tailpipes, which can make the sound of the V12 engine one of the loudest on the planet. This will attract the attention of many, but many will also want to hear it again.

It should also be noted that Novitec has not prepared any body components, at least not yet. They will arrive in a few weeks.
