MILAN: The new high-octane model of Ferrari, Daytona SP3, ended a long wait by Icona series car lovers, although it might not be welcomed by those who tried to curb carbon emissions.
With an 840 horse, 12-cylinder (V12) engine, which was installed in the back, Daytona SP3 paid for tribute to Ferrari 330 P3 / 4, which dominated 24 hours Daytona in 1967.
Ferrari presented its newest Icona on Saturdays just like the new chief executive Benedetto Vigna sets an Italian luxury sports car maker on the road to full electrification.
Vigna is a technology industrial veteran which in September became the CEO of Ferrari, who had promised to provide the first full electric vehicle in 2025.
Meanwhile, Ferrari fans have waited more than three years for the second Icona after Monza.
The Ferrari Iconas is a specialized series of series produced in limited quantities, reserved for ultra-rich personal collectors and inspired by the legendary model of the past.
Recognized by the ‘Prancing Horse’ logo and red racing car, Ferrari already has three electric hybrid models within its reach, including 296 GTB sports cars launched this year.
Ferrari has more reserves the V12 engine that pollutes for a limited series model and icons made by only 2% of the unit sent in the last quarter, while the V12 car contributes 12% of the group shipments.
This will produce a model combined with 1,600 V12 812 competition and 812 competition, launched this year, with the initial price of only half a million euros ($ 564,000).
