Novitec Ferrari Daytona SP3

The Daytona SP3 is inspired by Ferrari's racing models from the 1960s, but it has the most advanced sports car technology. These are special series cars that were built in limited numbers. However, that was not enough for Novitec, who made an already exclusive car even more exclusive.

How do you make one of the world’s most exclusive sports cars even more thrilling and more dynamic, especially when it comes from the “Icona” edition of Ferrari? You have NOVITEC customize it, the leading global refinement specialist for the automobiles from Maranello. The hand-finish production facility in Stetten in the Unterallgäu district gives the Daytona SP3 an even more thrilling design with calculated, professional surgical procedures. 

Even such an exclusive model can serve as a starting point for a targeted tuning. German tuner Novitec (see Novitec's homepage) has developed a dedicated package for the Daytona SP3 (read more about the Ferrari Daytona SP3), focusing specifically on the exhaust system, without affecting the delicate balance of its engine. The new high-performance system increases power by 28 hp, bringing the total to 868 hp.

In addition to the increased horsepower, the exhaust promises a more intense soundtrack. Thanks to electronic sound management, the driver can modulate the sound, from a more discreet tone to a sound closer to that of a track-ready V12. Aesthetically, however, nothing changes: exhaust gases continue to exit through the standard dual tailpipes.

This includes an elaborately calibrated NOVITEC high-performance exhaust system with metal catalysts. It enables the naturally aspirated 6.5L twelve-cylinder engine to expel the spent gases more freely, resulting in a boost in output by 28 horsepower. This exhaust system is optionally also available with particularly heat-dissipating fine gold-plating. Another custom development are the high-tech alloy wheels developed in cooperation with the American manufacturer Vossen. They are fitted on the car in a staggered combination of 20- and 21-inch diameter wheels.

NOVITEC also offers complete interior customization, using bespoke leather and Alcantara, according to the owner's specifications.  

NOVITEC also offers tailoring the cockpit of the two-seater to the personal likings of the owner in every detail. To this end, the company crafts appointments from the finest leather and Alcantara with maximum precision.

The package includes a finely calibrated Novitec high-performance exhaust system, a little more power, alloy wheels (20 and 21 inches) developed in cooperation with the American Vossen, as well as a cockpit customized to the owner's personal wishes in every detail (including the use of the finest leather and Alcantara).

Namely, Novitec created an even more exciting design for the Daytona SP3 with calculated, surgical procedures.

The car is powered by a 6.5L V12 engine that has 840 HP as standard, while this Novitec Daytona SP3 has 868 HP.

Considering that the Ferrari Daytona SP3 was priced at around $2.3 million in 2021 and now sells for well over that amount on the market, it's no surprise that Novitec resisted the temptation to indulge in aesthetic modifications, which would have risked compromising the appeal of the Italian-made hypercar. What do you think? Is it right to leave the styling of the Maranello super sports car unchanged? Let us know what you think.

The exhaust system features electronically controlled valves, allowing the driver to choose between a more restrained sound or a racing-inspired tone that echoes classic Ferrari V12s. These modifications integrate seamlessly with the original exhaust tips, preserving the SP3's characteristic style.

The wheels are also fundamental to the car's look. Developed in partnership with the American manufacturer Vossen, the set is forged and staggered: 20 inches at the front and 21 at the rear, accentuating the roadster's wedge profile. The photos show the NF10 variant, with lightweight wheels with thin double spokes and an elegant center. With specifications of 9.5Jx20 and 265/30 ZR20 tires at the front, and 12.5Jx21 with 345/30 ZR21 tires at the rear, they guarantee a precise fit and high grip potential.

This makes the Daytona SP3 even more exclusive and expressive, a level of customization available only to a select few.
