The chassis is built entirely from composite materials using Formula 1 technologies that have not been seen in a road car since the LaFerrari, Maranello\u2019s last supercar. The seat is an integral part of the chassis to reduce weight and guarantee the driver a driving position similar to that of a competition car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The engine has a 65\u00b0 vee between its cylinder banks and retains the 6.5-litre capacity of its predecessor, the F140HB, sported by the 812 Competizione from which it inherits its upgrades. All the developments enhance the performance of a powertrain that sets the new benchmark for its category thanks to its astonishing soundtrack \u2013 obtained through targeted work on both the intake and exhaust lines \u2013 and the 7-speed gearbox, which is now even faster and more satisfying than ever thanks to the development of specific strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maximum revs of 9,500 rpm and a torque curve that rises rapidly all the way up to maximum revs gives occupants the feeling of boundless power and acceleration. Particular attention was lavished on reducing the engine\u2019s weight and inertia by adopting titanium con rods, which are 40% lighter than steel, and the use of a different material for the pistons. The new piston pins have a Diamond Like Carbon treatment (DLC), which reduces the coefficient of friction to improve performance and fuel consumption. The crankshaft has been rebalanced and is now also now 3% lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Daytona SP3 is the most aerodynamically efficient car ever built by Ferrari without resorting to active aero devices. Because of the clever integration of these technical innovations, the car can accelerate from zero to 100km\/h in 2.85s and from zero to 200km\/h in just 7.4s: exhilarating performance, an extreme set-up, and the intoxicating V12 soundtrack deliver completely unparalleled driving pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ARCHITECTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n To ensure that Daytona SP3 drivers feel entirely at one with their car, its engineering draws heavily on the ergonomics expertise Maranello has developed in Formula 1. The fact that the seats are integrated into the chassis means that the driving position is lower and more reclined than in the other Ferraris in the range. In fact, the position is very similar to that of a single-seater. This helped reduce weight and keep the car\u2019s height to 1142 mm, which in turn reduces drag. The adjustable pedal box means each driver can find the most comfortable position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Daytona SP3\u2019s steering wheel features the same Human-Machine Interface (HMI) already seen on the SF90 Stradale, Ferrari Roma, SF90 Spider and 296 GTB, continuing the Ferrari \u201chands on the wheel, eyes on the road\u201d philosophy. Touch controls mean that drivers can control 80% of the Daytona SP3\u2019s functions without moving their hands, while a 16\u201d curved HD screen relays instantly all driving-related information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the Daytona SP3\u2019s chassis and bodyshell are made entirely from composite materials, a technology derived directly from Formula 1 that delivers excellent weight and structural rigidity\/weight ratio. In order to reduce the car\u2019s weight to an absolute minimum, lower the centre of gravity and guarantee compact architecture, several components, such as the seat structure, were integrated into the chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aeronautical composites were used, including T800 carbon-fibre for the tub which was hand-laid up to guarantee the correct amount of fibre for each area. T1000carbon-fibre was used in the doors and sills, and is essential to cockpit protection as its characteristics make it ideal for side impacts. Kevlar\u00ae was also used for areas which are most subject to impact, thanks to its resistance characteristics. Autoclave curing techniques mirrors that of Formula 1, taking place in two phases, at 130\u00b0 C and 150\u00b0 C, with the components vacuum-bagged to eliminate any lamination defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A specific tyre was developed with Pirelli for the Daytona SP3: the new P Zero Corsa was optimised for both dry and wet performance with a particular focus on the car\u2019s stability in low grip situations. The new Icona is also equipped with the latest version of Ferrari\u2019s SSC \u2013 6.1 \u2013 which, for the first time on a mid-rear-engined V12, includes the FDE (Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer) to increase cornering performance. This lateral dynamics control system acts on the brake pressure at the callipers to control the car\u2019s yaw angle in on-the-limit driving and can be activated in \u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018CT-Off\u2019 modes on the Manettino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The adoption of a mid-rear architecture and composite chassis also optimised weight distribution between the axles, concentrating the masses around the centre of gravity. These choices, combined with the work done on the engine, deliver record-breaking weight\/power ratio and 0-100 km\/h and 0-200 km\/h acceleration figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n7-YEARS MAINTENANCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFerrari\u2019s unparalleled quality standards and increasing focus on client service underpin the extended seven-year maintenance programme offered with the Daytona SP3. Available across the entire range, the latter covers all regular maintenance for the first seven years of the car\u2019s life. This scheduled maintenance programme for Ferraris is an exclusive service that allows clients the certainty that their car is being kept at peak performance and safety over the years. This very special service is also available to owners of pre-owned Ferraris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Daytona SP3\u2019s design 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 racers such as the 330 P4, 350 Can-Am and 512 S. The bold choice of a \u2018Targa\u2019 body with a removable hard top was also inspired by the sports prototype world: consequently, the Daytona SP3 not only delivers exhilarating driving pleasure but also usable performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
