My DREAM is HERE! First Drive in New FERRARI DAYTONA SP3

This is the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and my first time at the wheel of the Icona Series hypercar from Maranello! With only 599 in the world, this special example is part of the Selected Car Collection in Denmark, who have made this incredible, dream opportunity possible. Come along for the ride!

Following from the Monza SP1/SP2, the Daytona SP3 is the second member of Ferrari's Icona line-up, focusing on heritage, historic design, and throwbacks to legendary Ferrari models. In this case, it comes equipped with a 6.5l naturally aspirated V12 making 840hp, a removable targa roof panel over the top of the carbon fibre monocoque, and everything that you want from a limited special series Ferrari model. Interestingly, the Icona Series has created this possibility for Ferrari to simultaneously offer the traditional emotion alongside the latest technology in their portfolio.

However, after taking a look around the Silkeborg location of the Selected Car Collection, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is a car that I've never previously driven and thanks to the team, the chance to find out what it's about has become possible. While I have seen the car back when it was first introduced, even been to the Atelier in Maranello to spec my dream example, and even had a passenger ride at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but this time it's my turn to hop into the driver's seat and see what it's like.

On paper, the Daytona SP3 is everything I love in car, so now it's time to see if it ticks every single box in the way I hope! Prepare for plenty of V12 engine sound, and perhaps some surprises along the way.

It is a huge thanks to the Selected Car Group for this opportunity. Be sure to stay tuned for plenty of very exciting things to come in the future:

Thanks for watching, Tim

In my opinion this is one of the best designed cars in recent times. What an absolutely stunning car! My favourite new Ferrari hands down. What a lucky dude you are Tim!!!

[SimonLaudati]

I love how Tim keeps being so excited about driving these cars while owning that kind of car collection. Real real passion.

[martinortiz]

Best Ferrari design in the last 15 years and the most powerful NA Engine ever made by Ferrari. 840 metric horsepower and 9500rpm of a glorious V12. Tim you are a very lucky man, but you deserve it for all your hard work here.

Not a Comment specifically on this Video, but i'm German and while i don't own a Collection as amazing as yours, i do own a Nissan GT-R and an Audi R8 (1st pre-facelift Generations) and i drive them daily and often through Europe since the 2010s
Anyway i noticed many Times and in especially the last Video where you were at Brabus that you pointed out how smooth and well the Autobahn works and Lane Etiquette. I just want to thank you for pointing that out to People. Maybe they understand now why having no Speed Limits on a ton of the Autobahn works so well without Catastrophes.
remember the first time i drove a Car in the USA (and everytime after that) it was an absolute Nightmare, everyone overtakes from any Lane at any Speed, it was crazy.
Americans always tell me that's because getting a License in the USA is not even remotely difficult and anyone even inebriated could pass their License Test and that explains it all

Definitely one of the best designed ferraris in the recent generations! Love the eyelids on the headlights 🔥🔥

[Agahxb]

Shmee has an endless list of contacts 😂

[drummerjosh]

Best looking Ferrari since the Enzo IMO.

[luciengranger]

The visual cues on this car are just sensational... I'd literally just pull a chair, with a coffee in hand and stare at it for a couple of hours... it's looks exquisite... hats off to the design team...

[tututubular]

Schmee, Compliments first, then a suggestion/request. Your videos are always great. Fun, informative, unique. Love your unquenchable auto enthusiasm. I watch them all, start to finish. If I could change one thing, it would be to add the +10 second and -10 seconds replay feature. It’s so hard to back up just a bit. I miss that because it is so useful and common in other videos. Please consider adding that.

[TheGoldenSkill]

one of my fav car of any tier. been following their announcements & updates the most rn. the future is stacked w/ spaceships - congrats!!

[Teamshmo]

I love this car. One of the best modern cars. It looks insane, but also classic. Very cool they actually made something like this

[stevedavis]

I asked Charles leclerc how he likes his when he was here in Australia for F1. He said he loves it & can't wait to get back home to drive it again.

[johnnyherne]

I spotted my first Purosangue on the road today, black on a 24 plate. Then 2 minutes later I drove pass Shmee’s apartment building and he was coming out the driveway in his. Very nice motor indeed…

[TheLOLDUDE]

Hey Shmee, the stones you are hearing are actually hitting the lower-underside parts of the carbon thub, don't worry one bit about it. The MC20 also has this peculiar sound going on and it gives you so much race vibes (these are the exact sounds you hear on a racetrak with a carbon thub racecar)

[stiftungwarentest]

7:29 The Eccentrica Diablo Restomod also has an interesting take on headlights but I agree, this eyelid or "upper mobile panel“ is really unique and super cool!
Beautiful car and spec by the way, the Rosso Portofino paint looks stunning!

[nyhcbd]

one of the best looking cars ever! NA V12, RWD and no awful fixed rear wings... just gorgeous ❤

[jaypritchett]

Wow Tim, this is my favorite modern car. So happy for you that you get to experience it. Your hard work and dedication is incredible

[Arkos]

Congrats Tim!
Thank you very much for the detailed video.
That's an awesome car!
Cheers!😎👍

[sirremusrobinson]

Now you've got a hands on experience about the SP3! Out of the newer Ferrari cars that's been released, that's one that is Epic! No hybrid nonsense with that.. Purely pure!

[christopherwinfield]

Incredible car, what a thing. Well done Tim, really detailed review whilst respecting that the car is somebody else’s - lots of pressure driving something like that!
