Maranello, 27 January, 2022 |
The design of the Ferrari Daytona SP3, a limited-edition car that joins the ‘Icona’ series, is a harmonious
interplay of contrasts, sublimely sculptural, voluptuous surfaces alternating with the kind of sharper lines that
revealed the burgeoning importance of aerodynamics in the design of ‘60s and ‘70s racers such as the 330
P4, 350 Can-Am and 512 S. The bold choice of a ‘Targa’ body with a removable hard top was also inspired by
the sports prototype world: consequently, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 not only delivers exhilarating driving
pleasure but also usable performance. |
The idea of taking inspiration from a particular time in history, which lies at the core of the Icona concept,
goes much further than merely reusing styling cues from the past. Rather the aim is to distil the very essence
of an era and using it as a spring board to create new concepts that themselves are unique enough to
become icons for future generations. The ‘Icona’ cars all boast exclusive solutions not seen in the rest of the
range and are aimed solely at Ferrari’s top clients and collectors, proud ambassadors for the Prancing Horse
marque. |
