- Ferrari is donating a Tailor Made Daytona SP3 for a charity auction at Monterey Car Week.
- It’ll be number 599+1 and marks an addition to the original production for the SP3.
- The car features unique details, including recycled tires and exposed carbon fiber.
Even as Ferrari steers into new territory with the F80 and its V6 hybrid powertrain, there’s something about a V12 that remains inseparable from the image of a true hypercar. Among them, the Daytona SP3 stands out, not just for its performance, but because it may be the last mid-engined Ferrari ever built with a V12. Originally limited to 599 units, there’s now going to be one more.

Ferrari is aiming to make a splash at Monterey Car Week with a one-off Daytona SP3 Tailor Made, a bespoke creation that’s going up for auction at RM Sotheby’s California event in August. It’s a final opportunity to buy a brand-new V12-powered Daytona SP3, provided you weren’t already on the original list of 599 buyers.
One More Than 599
This particular car carries a subtle distinction: it’s officially designated 599+1, a detail engraved on the build plate. That small addition sets it apart from the rest, and more importantly, adds value. The exclusivity matters, especially since this Tailor Made version likely wouldn’t have been a typical customer request.
First and foremost, the livery is genuinely wild. One half is exposed carbon fiber, and the other is Giallo Modena. That yellow hue basically bleeds onto the carbon section in the form of Ferrari‘s logo. In case the slinky body work, the roar of the naturally aspirated V12, or the Prancing Horse logo wasn’t enough, keen-eyed readers can just literally spot the brand name on the car as they peer downward from their plebian econobox. Ferrari says this is “the first time the logo is applied to a livery in this way.”
That being said, the exterior isn’t the only special part of this car. The cabin features upholstery created from recycled tires along with a Prancing Horse motif. Ferrari added the same type of carbon fiber it uses for F1 single seaters into the dash and steering column. Beyond those subtle and conspicuous changes, this is a Daytona SP3 like any other. Not that there’s too many of them to go around anyway.
The 6.5-liter V12 under the rear decklid makes 828 hp (618 kW) and 514 lb-ft (697 Nm) of torque. That power is routed to the rear wheels only via a seven-speed F1-style gearbox and is put to the tarmac via 345-section-width tires and a sophisticated traction control system. All of that is on offer to whoever shows up with the most money on August 15.
