Leave a comment

In 2021, Ferrari presented the Daytona SP3, one of the most aerodynamically efficient models ever built. Only 599 units were produced and one of them, the only one finished in BP Green and with the signatures of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, is for sale.

The car is currently in the F1rst Motors showroom in Dubai. It is an extraordinary car that will attract the attention of collectors with deep pockets, and its value is estimated at more than 5.5 million euros.

The Daytona SP3 is built from lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar. 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.

When it comes to the drivetrain, the car 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).

Buying expensive cars in the US has become risky

Leave a comment

Buying a new car in the United States has become risky, especially if the car is being shipped long distances. Delivery can take a long time, and car thieves use this to steal expensive models. One such case occurred recently when a Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible worth $ 300,000 was stolen.

The car was purchased in Florida and was supposed to be delivered to a buyer in Detroit. However, the Rolls-Royce Dawn never arrived, despite being purchased on January 18. The buyer, Nader Eldamouni, was left without a car that he wanted to add to his collection of cars that includes Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royce Phantoms and Mercedes-Benz G-Classes.

In 2024, a thief broke into the systems of the delivery company Dealer’s Choice Auto Transport, and saw the delivery schedule and contact information of the drivers. “The criminal hacked the driver’s portal and knew which vehicles were being transported and where they were being transported. He contacted the driver posing as the customer and gave him new information with instructions on where to deliver the car,” Steven Yariv told WSVN.

The thief stole several luxury cars in this way, such as a Mercedes GLS600 Maybach ($200,000) and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV ($400,000).

Unfortunately, these are not the only cases, as a similar incident also occurred with a Houston customer who bought a Ferrari in New York, but it was delivered to an unknown person in Miami.

Ferrari will protect the brand from crazy customizations

Leave a comment

Ferrari wants to protect the brand from the crazy ideas of new owners by preventing customizations that are not in line with the brand’s vision. The decision comes after a large number of Ferraris appeared whose appearance is contrary to what the Italian brand has been building for years.

The first step that Ferrari will take is to limit the colors or schemes that can be used on its cars. “Internally, we thought about maybe defining color configurations in advance. We need to pay attention, because we have to defend the values ​​and identity of the brand. We are not going to make a strange car,” said Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vignola.

Ferrari wants to preserve its status and the right to say “no” to customers, and some believe that they could create a blacklist for customers who ignore the decision. However, it is more likely that Ferrari will limit some options on its cars. “There are combinations that another potential buyer will not like or simply does not like,” Vigna said.

The problem of strange customizations of Ferrari cars has been going on for a long time, and the company has solved previous cases without the public, privately with car owners. Now the question remains how they will react to buyers with deep pockets who are willing to pay big bucks to own a unique car.
