@@stevenwilliams1805 they’re not removable. The covers slide up when the headlights come on. Kind of a modern and aerodynamic reinterpretation of pop up headlights.
I've said this before, but I miss the days (long long ago) when Doug set up a camera and then drove by so we could see the car driving down the street. Doug stopped doing that at some point and I think it was a big mistake. It's very cool to see the car in motion, even if not being driven aggressively.
If I was Ferrari, I'd keep making V12's, but maybe just for the Icona line of car, and charge whatever is required for the V12 business to be profitable. $3-4mm per car, could go up to $5-6mm I'm sure and sell out on pre-orders.
it's an eyelid panel that retracts on each side. Real pop up style have been banished by new safety regulations for a while now. This is about as close as you can get to one nowaday...lol..
And to think, regular manufacturers are moving to touchscreens to reduce cost, and only TELL us it's super-advanced bling-bling technology. If the million-dollar supercars have the same touchscreen garbage as everything else, what's the excuse?
I think the rear looks killer. Reminds me of the Testarossa. Would’ve been cooler with a slightly bigger prancing horse inset into the strakes. Awesome car though. Love it 😎
I'm not super old but at 47, I really miss old school gauges, buttons and switches. Would have loved to see this thing apply more vintage to the interior...like a 250 GTO but with a bit of a modern touch. And let's be honest, that engine is visual art. Not being able to open it up and see it is just insanity.
Kinda agreed about the gauges vs screens thing. Even in the case of the economical, city cars etc I too think that the screens are overdone, yet poorly utilized. AR glasses/visors will eventually step in to fix it all of course (the jet pilot-esque approach), but until then it'll remain lame I guess.
Agreed -- I have to wonder how long those screens and touchy-parts will last. In 50 years will this car be completely unusable because those bits have all failed and cannot be replaced at any price? Heck -- will they even last 10 years?! You see these cars that *should* be classics in 20, 30, 40, 50 years, yet you wonder if these modern parts will hold up over time like the mechanical parts did from the '60s, '70s, '80s, etc.
A factor that often gets ignored is that touch controls are less safe on the road. With a regular old school tactile button I can operate most things in a vehicle I am familiar with just by feel, without even looking. I can find the relevant control in the crowd and never take my eyes off the road. With touch screen controls you don't have that. You must look at the touch sensitive surface to make sure you're hitting the right spot, you can't keep your fingertips on the surface in advance if you know you're not gonna need to press your control until a few seconds later, and if you're hovering in front of the screen without looking then you're likely to drift off the particular control you need. So you absolutely MUST take your eyes off the road whenever you need to do pretty much anything at all. That's a horrible trade-off just for a "fancy futuristic feel" and a few pennies saved in manufacture (touch panels are cheaper than buttons and switches when all's factored in, and maintenance on a touch panel is as simple as just swapping the whole unit out).
@@PikkaBird I agree. I can't wait until the AR-assisted infotainment systems become a thing for the cars too so the in-vehicle controls have no other excuses left but to be made as *tactile buttons, switches & dials* only (and in small, concise numbers per focus area).
This is literally my favourite supercar design ever, it's so retro futuristic while being sleek and gorgeous. I couldn't imagine what it would look like in person
@@mahmudfadhiil1135I think it’ll grow on a lot of people like the F50.

Love your stuff Doug! Just wanted to mention (if someone hasn't already) the fixed seat and moving pedals and steering wheel were first introduced in 1972 on the beautiful Maserati Bora. Keep up the great work!
Sorry to correct you as it first appeared on a British car in 1964 the Marcos 1800 GT made by Marcos Engineering Which was a sports car with a plywood chassis with fixed seats as part of the chassis and moveable seats and steering. It was produced until 1971.
It certainly is drop-dead gorgeous, but --- as with other genuine supercars --- it serves as just another reminder of why it is actually _much_ harder to design a good modern market-competitive family car than it is to design supercars. How's that? Such family cars, being mass-produced and in a very competitive market, must be designed to specific price-points and _yet_ deliver everything that consumers (by and large) fully expect, e.g., good interior volume; convenient storage space; good mileage; latest safety and entertainment features; reasonably good handling; reliability; and visual appeal. In comparison, supercar designers are effectively given free rein to design their "dream" cars and pretty much regardless of any price-point that would limit the realization of their collective imaginations or staunch the use of expensive specialized high-end tech _or_ the makers' need to present a necessarily _exclusive_ product desirable enough for the Driver (no one else... just the Driver) to spend millions on. The result? Here's an example: The difficulty of even _entering_ the SP3; want to own a car with an out-of-this-world exterior? Then basic entrance (and forget about being able to easily exit in a bad enough crash) must fall by the wayside. (In more than one way, you pay for the look of the car.) Is it possible to design a supercar that also happens to do everything that a supercar does? Yes! But I doubt it would look anything like a "supercar". The closest thing to a supercar (performance) and yet being _amenable_ to introduction of the conveniences and expectations of a "typical" family car would be the Group B rally cars of the 1980s; boxy, much more utilitarian than sexy in appearance, but incredibly sturdy and fast, fast, fast.
I really love the design of this car. This is something totally different than what you see today where so many vehicles look alike. It is quite refreshing to see Ferrari still making great designs.
@@R益 Most hypercars and supercars are pretty much straight up scams built for dumb rich people that are not well-versed in car culture and automotive. In fact, most rich people toys are scams. This planet has a big problem with a lack of price gouging and regulation, along with not taxing billionaires. This world is sick.
i love the retro-modern styling of this car. it looks like it was built upon years and years of racing innovation, taking bits and parts from each generation. The overall body reminds me of those classic 1960's/70's cartoons and movie race scenes. like speed racer and dozens of hanna-barbera cartoon scenes
Doug! really awsome review, I love the car, and love your excitement about it, but i can't believe you missed the POP UP HEADLIGHTS of the daytona SP3, that could easily be the best throwback old school detail of the entire car!
Really wouldve appreciated a more thorough talk through that 50/50 Weekend score. For the first car go manage it, wouldve been nice to hear exactly what made them all perfect 10's
I too raised an eyebrow at that. I mean, it's the Doug score so who am I to comment but he did mention the design wasn't universally loved. I would think it'd drop a point for Styling. 🤷♀
I actually love the design and I can imagine it’s more striking in person. I love that the pedals are not offset so you can easily left foot brake. Such a beautiful car for a lucky few
I saw three of them in person, trust me when It was launched and saw It on Instagram I liked It but yeah It didn't attract me much, but when I've seen It in person (One Red, one light Blue and One green) I fell in love with It.
I agree Doug, it's beautifully designed. The love hate reminds me of when the Enzo was released. I think the SP3 will be one of those iconic cars in the future that will be insanely valuable.
This is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen. I'm not even a big Ferrari fan, but this is gorgeous. The design cues from the SP4, Testarosa and LaFerrari are very nice touches too.
It’s over designed and ugly. The back end looks very fussy and the rear wheel arch looks Lamborghini like with the weird flattening. Just not classy , like a schoolboy drew it
Growing up, the p4 was my favorite car bar none. Seeing Ferrari finally give that car a revival like this is so awesome and really underlines how truly special the p4 was and always will be.
The rearview mirror does just that, changing the angle so you don't get dazzled! 🙂 PS: to open the engine compartment just unhook using the special mechanism that is placed aside of the left door! (once opened)
Wow. I’ve def been in the camp that Ferrari hasn’t seemed as special lately. Their styling in particular has been very boring to me. This totally brings it back. Love the swooping curves on the side and the Testarossa strakes on the back. Kind of like a greatest hits of styling cues of the 60s, 80s and 2000s. This Ferrari is finally dream car material again.
Check out the p80/c, a new (somewhat conceptual) one-off ferrari racecar that their entire new line is based off of, including the SP3. It got a lot of praise at FOS and ferrari day. Pretty sure that's the reason for the redesign for all the new ferraris.
@@citoante hardly anything in common with a Ford, and OTOH it draws from historic design details even though it’s not a pinin farina design. Anyone familiar with Ferrari’s design history will never mistake this car for a Ford.
@@timomomomo969 either way, its ugly. You might be technically right, but does that excuse this car? From which ever side you look at it there is something irritating on it. You know how movies are bad lately- this car is like a these new bad movies. Shit scripts, shit effects, shit actors. Yet they cost 300 millions to make. This car is a sort of parody of a Ferrari.
Doug I didn't hear you mention the signature inspiration car that this car emulates most significantly, the Ferrari 250 P5 (1968). This explains the unique rear end.
What a stunning machine the Daytona SP3 is. Its sculpted bodylines remind me of ancient Roman sculpture with a thundering V12 engine. Absolutely incredible dream car. Lucky people who get to own one of these masterpieces.
Very serious review. I saw this car when it came out and loved it. I have the same thoughts. This is gonna go down as one of the best ever made. I can see values spiking like crazy 20yrs from now
I'm going to university hoping to get into auto design, and this car is something I will base work off of for decades to comes. It is so perfect, and each element of its design is gorgeous on its own
To clarify the additional costs on the window sticker, that's generally for air freight. As I've had 2 cars delivered via air freight with Ferrari, that's where the cost of it is listed on the window sticker. Considering the price tag of 2.3m, I'd imagine they flew the car from Italy.
I totally agree. Hands down the best looking Ferrari in years. Given the engine, and the limited numbers, I see this car having a value of ten to fifteen million in the near future.
I don’t know California well, but you’re brave to drive a multi million car amongst fast food, liquor stores and laundromats. Great content as always Doug! 😊
Fun fact. The most powerful engine that Ferrari installed in any car ever. That would be one of V10s from 2000's installed in F1 cars. they went to around 860bhp in a racing mode and close to 900bhp in qualifying mode. Nevertheless, having this engine with this output in Daytona SP3 is something that deserves a praise.
Not really true. The 80's F1 cars were more powerful. The 1986 Ferrari F1 car made 850 HP in race trim, and about 1250 HP in qualifying trim. The more you know...
I feel like what made a Ferrari special was the high end interior materials, the use of v12s, great exhaust notes, and aggressive styling. The interiors kinda got boring when you look at the modern models.
Love the camera wobble on the parked engine rev (VROOM VROOM) segment. I love that Doug brings the same gusto to a Kia as a $2 million supercar, but I also love the times that it IS something ridiculously special unobtanium like this one. I think I can actually see the fear in his eyes driving by Quick-E Marts on regular, chuck-hole'd roads.
23:23 Disappointed he didn't mention that the design for the rear strakes was inspired by the Ferrari P5. It's one of the most identifiable callbacks to classic Ferrari designs that they featured on the car.
Amazing machine 😍 If I had that sort of money, SP3 would be on top of the 'cars to have' list. Indeed, it must be incredible for the owners to see its reflection, as it rolls down the street, and then realizing it is your car and you are driving it
Love Doug’s subtle flex when he’s talking about how it stacks up against the prior top flight Ferrari supercars and he showed the all the TH-cam screenshots of his own videos with those cars. 😂
24:22 you can access the engine, that entire rear panel opens up, there’s a latch on the door arch near the seat! I don’t know how Doug got this wrong..
He does that on purpose so ignorant people like you would comment about it. More comments = better for Doug. Are you new to this channel or completely new to the concept of making money on youtube?
His reaction to the location of the engine's inlets (on top surface of thick doors and far forward of the engine) also indicates a miss by Doug: That exact same configuration was used on Ferrari's 1971-73 312PB. Its doors also flipped forward, revealing the air tunnels that were integral with the doors. I'm surprised he missed (or doesn't know) that bit of very relevant history.
The SP3 is the most exciting design that Ferrari has done in years. The key fob is also cool. I am totally in love with this car. I will never own one, but I’m glad they made it
I genuinely think this is, hands down, the most beautiful Ferrari ever made. This car looks absolutely incredible and i've been in love, and obsessed with it, since I first saw it. Might possibly be my personal "Most beautiful car ever made".
You were totally in my city, literally a few blocks away. Way to cool and I’m pretty sure I saw you driving later that day! I remember seeing the rear of it and just being mesmerized by it the shape but was confused as to what I had seen. Wow, this is a beauty. And cool stuff that it was near by me. Keep up the good work.
The fact that Doug has access to all of this cars...wow. this car is stupidly beautiful. I've been eagerly waiting for it. Ferrari businessmen are doing very interesting things.
Absolutely awesome looking car, it's almost like something Hot Wheels would make. 10/10 despite the mirrors. I wouldn't want to drive it in public ever, anyone in an SUV will not be able to see your front turn signal and probably wreck you because they didn't know you were turning. 50 pts in the weekend category makes sense, but I think Doug's being generous giving it 6 in features for daily...I mean, other than the customizable digital gauge cluster, it doesn't have much.
Despite the low volume I respect Ferrari for putting such a big engine in to production. It is refreshing having a 12 in а world that goes 4 or none at all. As for it's design im on the opposite side of the spectrum. The curves are marvelous they're sexy but then everything else is just not all that appealing imo. To put it in to perspective i would compare it to a stock X-th gen Honda CiVic type R. Good attractive design but to make it sporty and edgy for the Type R they ran wild with the cuts and creases and all the extra detail that they forgot when to stop. But hey when it comes to cars usually the ugly ones are sought after the most. Lets see how many of these can survive for 10-20 years
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 may not be a super model, but it is a curvy weirdly gorgeous girl that you can't stop watching her details and precioness, that girl you think, she is not like the others, she is special!
It would be awkward if a 2 ml. + Car had fake vents. If i had the money id buy an NSX type S and the X-th gen CiVic and keep the other 2ml. feeling good about my life.
The rearview mirror should convert to a front camera when you flip the switch. This way you dont have to worry about pulling into parking spots being so low
Been watching Mr. Demuro since his Ferrari Modena 360 video. I still think that's one of the funniest videos he ever made. He was nervous and very shy while trying to see peoples reaction to his Ferrari which kinda failed cuz people just didn't notice it. 😅😅😅
Absolute work of art. And I really hope OEMs take note of the gauge cluster here so we can finally drop the cheap, lazy interiors with floating and/or enormous centre screens that are so prevalent nowadays. This interior is the perfect example of how you can have an actual classically beautiful designed dash with everything properly integrated, AND modern features. I need an ugly giant centre screen; just put it in a nice main cluster like this. A small slit screen in the middle for climate info like the EV6, or old VWs would be fine though; everything else should just be in the main cluster.
You should add a "right to repair" category to your DougScore. Just a simple pass or fail considering if you could open up the hood or not. I know those cars are ludicrously out of our price range but it's absolutely ridiculous they're not even letting us open up the hood anymore. Ferrari's already have a piece of crap reputation, and now they go and do this? Abominable! These are no longer cars I desire. I think higher of the Prius than I do of this.
It is pretty ridiculous that you have spent $2.5 million on a freaking Ferrari and that doesn't buy you the right to even see your engine. Isn't half of the luxury of owning a Ferrari showing off the gorgeous engine with the exhaust manifold and exposed suspension parts?
@@texaswunderkind A 2.5 million dollar Ferrari dream car is less cool than a Toyota Prius. . . . I never thought I would say that. Jeremy Clarkson must be rolling over in his grave and he's not even dead yet.
Doug, could I please be your full time editor who sometimes gets to go on a ride with you in some awesome cars? 😅 You have possibly one of the coolest jobs ever, and you created it for yourself from the ground up! How cool is that?!
No, that's called the limits of rear wheel drive traction. A C8 Z06 is nowhere compared to this when they are both above the initial traction limits. 0-200kph the Z06 takes 10.3 seconds. This does it in an absurd 7.4 seconds. Nearly 3 seconds faster. Completely different level above. And this isn't some mass produced plastic American car. It's a hand built Ferrari. Meaning in 10 years it'll probably be worth double what the lucky few paid for it brand new while the Corvette is worth less than half as much. Making the Ferrari quite a bargain.....
@@pgr3290 see what you are saying on performance and exclusivity, however for an additional $2.3M those 3 seconds (to everyone except for those who actually will own one of this Ferraris heck most of us will never even see one in real life) would seem such a small performance/$ difference it doesn't really matter. Sure the C8 Z06 is not the same build quality/materials, but it's affordable and people won't be afraid to daily drive it..which makes the Z06 performance for the dollar a better deal no matter the time frame.
@@namegoeshere2903 If you can pay $2.5m for a car that'll be worth $5m in 10 years then you would. Comparing it to a cheaper American car on the basis of performance is missing the point, and comparing it on price is missing the point. It's a $2.5m exotica limited run Ferrari with solid gold residual value and guaranteed classic status. No mass produced Corvette even figures in these calculations.
I couldn't agree more with you about the all hybrid stupid stuff! Gorgeous Rari!! This and the Roma, are the most beautiful Ferrari of the modern era since the 355 has been discontinued. Thanks Doug and cheers from spain
Ferrari missed the opportunity to put a manual in this, but otherwise I love it. It's stunning. But with the old school throwback design and experience, a manual would have really made it perfect.

Love it! Wish I could get one! Killer looks! A V12 symphony! In contrast, I was surprised how practical my F8 Tributo is- it has a moderate front trunk, glove box, door pockets, two center console spaces for phones, and a parcel shelf behind the seats! I didn't expect the F8 to have such a degree of everyday usefulness! Not for "Costco", but maybe for overnight trips for two, or short trips to see Abu at the QuickieMart!

Ya I'm kinda mad actually those are one of the best features!
that's what I also thought, because that is really unusual :)
Starting a Ferrari V12 with a capacitive touch zone that doesn’t even fake a click has to be such a buzz kill.
I couldn't agree more. The entire interior of that car misses the mark for being the last NA v12.
your tactile feedback is the vroom haha
I get what you're saying, but also if a button (or lack of one) to an NA V12 beast is a buzzkill for you, I have bad news...
And to think, regular manufacturers are moving to touchscreens to reduce cost, and only TELL us it's super-advanced bling-bling technology.
If the million-dollar supercars have the same touchscreen garbage as everything else, what's the excuse?
And the drives modes are a switch. Odd choice to make the engine start a capacitive button.
I think the rear looks killer. Reminds me of the Testarossa. Would’ve been cooler with a slightly bigger prancing horse inset into the strakes. Awesome car though. Love it 😎
THAT'S the shape that instantly came to mind! I was trying to think why the side profile looked so familiar, and that was it.
So cyberpunk!
I think everyone is getting that vibe only because of the back end, which is my least favorite part lol. Still think it's a great looking car.
The rear end was probably influenced by 250 P5 Pininfarina. Very distinct, but a bit of an acquired taste. :)
Another superb rif off car from the ultimate rip off merchants lol
Starting to lose count of the number of cars that are the last V12
I literally just watched a video on the 12Cilindri. 😅
They've been making the "last V12" for almost the last 10 years, and then they release the Purosangue and a car LITERALLY called "12 cylinders."

@@R益 Most hypercars and supercars are pretty much straight up scams built for dumb rich people that are not well-versed in car culture and automotive. In fact, most rich people toys are scams. This planet has a big problem with a lack of price gouging and regulation, along with not taxing billionaires. This world is sick.
@@R益 I mean, look at it man.. What else out there comes close? It aint just about power.
i love the retro-modern styling of this car. it looks like it was built upon years and years of racing innovation, taking bits and parts from each generation. The overall body reminds me of those classic 1960's/70's cartoons and movie race scenes. like speed racer and dozens of hanna-barbera cartoon scenes
Doug! really awsome review, I love the car, and love your excitement about it, but i can't believe you missed the POP UP HEADLIGHTS of the daytona SP3, that could easily be the best throwback old school detail of the entire car!
came here to the comments to make sure I didnt just miss it in the video. The quirk master missed this cars biggest quirk!
I'm a huge fan of fender mounted mirrors. No one makes em anymore and it's just such a cool design
Really wouldve appreciated a more thorough talk through that 50/50 Weekend score. For the first car go manage it, wouldve been nice to hear exactly what made them all perfect 10's
I too raised an eyebrow at that. I mean, it's the Doug score so who am I to comment but he did mention the design wasn't universally loved. I would think it'd drop a point for Styling. 🤷♀
The design is not quite refined IMO
He's too busy now I guess...
@@peterd8107 Agreed! Especially mirrors...
I totally agree Doug, Ferrari its about time, and like you say this is special, and in my opinion, underrated.
Doug, is the kind of guy to call a hyper car a super car
I was so confused when he said 2.2 million is supercar money territory lol
He’s very loose on terms, I hate when he calls a liftback design (Audi S7) a “hatchback”
A hypercar needs to do at least 250mph in my book
It makes me wonder what he would call cars like the F8 Tributo? Sports cars? If so, that seems like a bit of an undersell for a $400k car

I agree Doug, it's beautifully designed. The love hate reminds me of when the Enzo was released. I think the SP3 will be one of those iconic cars in the future that will be insanely valuable.
Same idk how people see this as an ugly design
This is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen. I'm not even a big Ferrari fan, but this is gorgeous. The design cues from the SP4, Testarosa and LaFerrari are very nice touches too.
The concept idea for this car is a winner but the final design looks god damn awful for me. I prefer the design of the De Tomaso P72 any day.
Big same. Not a Ferrari fan but this one is INSANE.
It’s over designed and ugly. The back end looks very fussy and the rear wheel arch looks Lamborghini like with the weird flattening. Just not classy , like a schoolboy drew it
@@AnkaraAnkaraMessiMessiMessiyep. Of course the price gonna be insane as well. $1.050.000.
Car ugly AF. Looks like A kit car
Growing up, the p4 was my favorite car bar none. Seeing Ferrari finally give that car a revival like this is so awesome and really underlines how truly special the p4 was and always will be.
The 1967 330 P4 truly is right up at the top of the list.
The rearview mirror does just that, changing the angle so you don't get dazzled! 🙂 PS: to open the engine compartment just unhook using the special mechanism that is placed aside of the left door! (once opened)
Wow. I’ve def been in the camp that Ferrari hasn’t seemed as special lately. Their styling in particular has been very boring to me. This totally brings it back. Love the swooping curves on the side and the Testarossa strakes on the back. Kind of like a greatest hits of styling cues of the 60s, 80s and 2000s. This Ferrari is finally dream car material again.
Check out the p80/c, a new (somewhat conceptual) one-off ferrari racecar that their entire new line is based off of, including the SP3. It got a lot of praise at FOS and ferrari day. Pretty sure that's the reason for the redesign for all the new ferraris.
This car is more Ford than Ferrari.
@@citoante hardly anything in common with a Ford, and OTOH it draws from historic design details even though it’s not a pinin farina design. Anyone familiar with Ferrari’s design history will never mistake this car for a Ford.
@@timomomomo969 either way, its ugly. You might be technically right, but does that excuse this car? From which ever side you look at it there is something irritating on it. You know how movies are bad lately- this car is like a these new bad movies. Shit scripts, shit effects, shit actors. Yet they cost 300 millions to make. This car is a sort of parody of a Ferrari.
A pet peeve of mine is when backlit, capacative buttons are referred to as touch screens. When they are not screens.
Doug I didn't hear you mention the signature inspiration car that this car emulates most significantly, the Ferrari 250 P5 (1968). This explains the unique rear end.
The LaFerrari is my favorite of the Hypercar Holy Trinity but the idea of a non-hubrid LaFerrari is so great! I really like this! 🙌🏻
Bro there's no way you just drove $2.5M Ferrari through the streets of South Gate, CA. That's the hood 😂 You have some big balls mate. Respect 🫡
this is monumental, the first time Doug gave a car that 50! Ferrari really nailed the styling, but it couldn't been better, more timeless
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 for me accelerated even faster than Nimrod C2/P2 LeMans Race Car.
i'd take the laferrari over the sp3, any second of the year tho (not a reply)
What a stunning machine the Daytona SP3 is. Its sculpted bodylines remind me of ancient Roman sculpture with a thundering V12 engine. Absolutely incredible dream car. Lucky people who get to own one of these masterpieces.
Doug is the kind of guy to sit in the car looking at menus but keeping the car in race mode, for ultra performance while standing still
Very serious review. I saw this car when it came out and loved it. I have the same thoughts. This is gonna go down as one of the best ever made. I can see values spiking like crazy 20yrs from now
I'm going to university hoping to get into auto design, and this car is something I will base work off of for decades to comes. It is so perfect, and each element of its design is gorgeous on its own
To clarify the additional costs on the window sticker, that's generally for air freight. As I've had 2 cars delivered via air freight with Ferrari, that's where the cost of it is listed on the window sticker. Considering the price tag of 2.3m, I'd imagine they flew the car from Italy.
Been waiting for this one ! You gotta come drive my SP3 when it gets here Doug!
I didn't expect you to comment here Mr. Lee! You've an immaculate taste for cars! KDWYD
Honestly thought this was Mr. Lee's car!
Red, yellow, or blue?
I totally agree. Hands down the best looking Ferrari in years. Given the engine, and the limited numbers, I see this car having a value of ten to fifteen million in the near future.
I’m kind of a low-key Ferrari hater, but I must admit, that thing is just breathtaking. One of the most beautiful automobiles I’ve ever seen.
To each his/her own. I find the car ugly.
@@jefft1161 same. It's hideous.
Ehh, I think the McLaren's look better.
@@jefft1161 its super cool but its kinda ugly
You know, the front is nice. But the rear of the car, just absolute train wreck of a design. Hideous.
The best Ferrari of this generation by far... And the best looking one I've seen in years.
I don’t know California well, but you’re brave to drive a multi million car amongst fast food, liquor stores and laundromats. Great content as always Doug! 😊
I noticed that too - a rather odd juxtaposition of an astronomically expensive item in what appears to be a not so great part of town.
You don't know California
I’d be worried you’d get carjacked 😮
Fun fact. The most powerful engine that Ferrari installed in any car ever. That would be one of V10s from 2000's installed in F1 cars. they went to around 860bhp in a racing mode and close to 900bhp in qualifying mode. Nevertheless, having this engine with this output in Daytona SP3 is something that deserves a praise.
💯💯
Not really true. The 80's F1 cars were more powerful. The 1986 Ferrari F1 car made 850 HP in race trim, and about 1250 HP in qualifying trim. The more you know...
One of the most beautiful Ferraris and vehicle in general ever imo
I agree, it's my personal favorite in the modern day but the 288 GTO is still my favorite design
I don't really like the SP3, however, the 288 GTO Evoluzione is a beautiful car@@wingnutmcspazatron3957
I feel like what made a Ferrari special was the high end interior materials, the use of v12s, great exhaust notes, and aggressive styling. The interiors kinda got boring when you look at the modern models.
Love the camera wobble on the parked engine rev (VROOM VROOM) segment.
I love that Doug brings the same gusto to a Kia as a $2 million supercar, but I also love the times that it IS something ridiculously special unobtanium like this one. I think I can actually see the fear in his eyes driving by Quick-E Marts on regular, chuck-hole'd roads.
23:23 Disappointed he didn't mention that the design for the rear strakes was inspired by the Ferrari P5. It's one of the most identifiable callbacks to classic Ferrari designs that they featured on the car.
Yes, it's a mash-up of 330 P4 and 250 P5 Berlinetta Speciale inspiration.
You can add that info and we all read here, no need for disappointment
this is the best ferrari. id rather an sp3 than the new f80 100%.
Another stunning design by Ferrari! That key fob looks like a lighter and that's okay, too.
I'll bet it has 'Zipponi S.p.A.' on the bottom. 😅
Amazing machine 😍 If I had that sort of money, SP3 would be on top of the 'cars to have' list. Indeed, it must be incredible for the owners to see its reflection, as it rolls down the street, and then realizing it is your car and you are driving it
I am just going to go ahead and call it now. This will be Doug’s car of the year for 2023.
This might be the car of the decade, truly incredible. I see these being as revered as the GTO/F40/F50
I do love it. The strakes are a bit much in the rear, but it’s also bold and elegant.
Love Doug’s subtle flex when he’s talking about how it stacks up against the prior top flight Ferrari supercars and he showed the all the TH-cam screenshots of his own videos with those cars. 😂
Doug you missed mentioning the incredible headlight action. I adore the theatre of this car, its my new favorite car behind the F1.
24:22 you can access the engine, that entire rear panel opens up, there’s a latch on the door arch near the seat! I don’t know how Doug got this wrong..
Doug, you are right on the money . Beautiful Design . unique and a Homage to the Ferrari heritage.
That exhaust note was immaculate. We can only hope that V12 production will be granted a few more years of life
The SUV has a V12 and so will the 812 replacement
Doug forgot to mention it's biggest quirk, the headlight's pop-up cover. How dare you miss that quirk Doug!
💯💯
He didn't mention the 9600rpm redline too! When this car debuted it was the most powerful and highest revving N/A V12 in existence!
He does that on purpose so ignorant people like you would comment about it. More comments = better for Doug. Are you new to this channel or completely new to the concept of making money on youtube?
His reaction to the location of the engine's inlets (on top surface of thick doors and far forward of the engine) also indicates a miss by Doug: That exact same configuration was used on Ferrari's 1971-73 312PB. Its doors also flipped forward, revealing the air tunnels that were integral with the doors. I'm surprised he missed (or doesn't know) that bit of very relevant history.
My heart actually broke when I heard that this is the last Ferrari with a V12. I really hope the future of cars isn’t lame
The SP3 is the most exciting design that Ferrari has done in years. The key fob is also cool. I am totally in love with this car. I will never own one, but I’m glad they made it
Agree with everything Doug says about the Daytona SP3. Breathtaking in every way. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Didn't think my favorite Ferrari would be from the modern era, but here it is. 10/10 styling is damn right!
I love it too. And I wasn't digging any Ferrari designs recently.
I genuinely think this is, hands down, the most beautiful Ferrari ever made. This car looks absolutely incredible and i've been in love, and obsessed with it, since I first saw it. Might possibly be my personal "Most beautiful car ever made".
These mirrors though 😢
I don't know, man. La Ferrari's pretty nice....but this is crazy slick for how aggressive it first seems.
bot
people don't like the back on this car? It's my favourite part.
It would be a dream to work as an engineer at Ferrari! Look at this thing! Un fenómeno este vehículo.
You were totally in my city, literally a few blocks away. Way to cool and I’m pretty sure I saw you driving later that day! I remember seeing the rear of it and just being mesmerized by it the shape but was confused as to what I had seen. Wow, this is a beauty. And cool stuff that it was near by me. Keep up the good work.
Agree. Amazing work too.
29:26 Even when this car is standing still, it still looks like it is flying by 🤩
This should have been the LaFerrari successor not the F80... LOL
Same thoughts. Much better than the F80
I love the rear look, it's the exhaust that makes it look a bit off. Looks very testorossa
The fact that Doug has access to all of this cars...wow. this car is stupidly beautiful. I've been eagerly waiting for it. Ferrari businessmen are doing very interesting things.
If you love it so much, you should marry it
Absolutely awesome looking car, it's almost like something Hot Wheels would make. 10/10 despite the mirrors.
I wouldn't want to drive it in public ever, anyone in an SUV will not be able to see your front turn signal and probably wreck you because they didn't know you were turning.
50 pts in the weekend category makes sense, but I think Doug's being generous giving it 6 in features for daily...I mean, other than the customizable digital gauge cluster, it doesn't have much.
it looks like one of those little fantasy matchbox cars from the 90s made real. It's so beautiful
I think they knocked it out of the park! It looks like a fresh new design. I think it’s one of their best designs.
Reminds me of a modern 330 P4 imo
Despite the low volume I respect Ferrari for putting such a big engine in to production. It is refreshing having a 12 in а world that goes 4 or none at all. As for it's design im on the opposite side of the spectrum. The curves are marvelous they're sexy but then everything else is just not all that appealing imo. To put it in to perspective i would compare it to a stock X-th gen Honda CiVic type R. Good attractive design but to make it sporty and edgy for the Type R they ran wild with the cuts and creases and all the extra detail that they forgot when to stop. But hey when it comes to cars usually the ugly ones are sought after the most. Lets see how many of these can survive for 10-20 years
To put it simply, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is simply gorgeous.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 may not be a super model, but it is a curvy weirdly gorgeous girl that you can't stop watching her details and precioness, that girl you think, she is not like the others, she is special!
At least the Ferrari doesn't have fake vents.
It would be awkward if a 2 ml. + Car had fake vents. If i had the money id buy an NSX type S and the X-th gen CiVic and keep the other 2ml. feeling good about my life.
The rearview mirror should convert to a front camera when you flip the switch. This way you dont have to worry about pulling into parking spots being so low
Been watching Mr. Demuro since his Ferrari Modena 360 video. I still think that's one of the funniest videos he ever made. He was nervous and very shy while trying to see peoples reaction to his Ferrari which kinda failed cuz people just didn't notice it. 😅😅😅
Doug is the kind of guy to call capacitive buttons screens
What a fantastic architectural design! Great review Doug! Wish I had the money.
I just love how the revs are so loud and powerful, they almost knocked the camera down😂
Honestly, if I won the lottery, I'd be getting this. Absolutely love that styling.
Me too, Huayra too!
I actually love those fender mounted side mirrors. They're easier to look at.
Absolute work of art. And I really hope OEMs take note of the gauge cluster here so we can finally drop the cheap, lazy interiors with floating and/or enormous centre screens that are so prevalent nowadays. This interior is the perfect example of how you can have an actual classically beautiful designed dash with everything properly integrated, AND modern features. I need an ugly giant centre screen; just put it in a nice main cluster like this. A small slit screen in the middle for climate info like the EV6, or old VWs would be fine though; everything else should just be in the main cluster.
SP3 is stunning in Blue!
Personally I believe this is the most beautiful modern Ferrari ever made
Funny how revving the V12 almost broke the camera 😄
seeing a 10 10 10 10 10 score is crazy , well deserved, amazing looking car
You’re joking
You should add a "right to repair" category to your DougScore. Just a simple pass or fail considering if you could open up the hood or not. I know those cars are ludicrously out of our price range but it's absolutely ridiculous they're not even letting us open up the hood anymore. Ferrari's already have a piece of crap reputation, and now they go and do this? Abominable! These are no longer cars I desire. I think higher of the Prius than I do of this.
It is pretty ridiculous that you have spent $2.5 million on a freaking Ferrari and that doesn't buy you the right to even see your engine. Isn't half of the luxury of owning a Ferrari showing off the gorgeous engine with the exhaust manifold and exposed suspension parts?
@@texaswunderkind A 2.5 million dollar Ferrari dream car is less cool than a Toyota Prius. . . . I never thought I would say that. Jeremy Clarkson must be rolling over in his grave and he's not even dead yet.
Reminds me of the 80's slat style they had. Looks like a retro/modern la Ferrari.

Looks killer.
At 0-60 ~ 2.6s we are reaching the pinnacle of performance in a lot of cars..C8 Z06, nipping at its heels for quite a bit less $
No, that's called the limits of rear wheel drive traction. A C8 Z06 is nowhere compared to this when they are both above the initial traction limits. 0-200kph the Z06 takes 10.3 seconds. This does it in an absurd 7.4 seconds. Nearly 3 seconds faster. Completely different level above. And this isn't some mass produced plastic American car. It's a hand built Ferrari. Meaning in 10 years it'll probably be worth double what the lucky few paid for it brand new while the Corvette is worth less than half as much. Making the Ferrari quite a bargain.....
@@pgr3290 see what you are saying on performance and exclusivity, however for an additional $2.3M those 3 seconds (to everyone except for those who actually will own one of this Ferraris heck most of us will never even see one in real life) would seem such a small performance/$ difference it doesn't really matter. Sure the C8 Z06 is not the same build quality/materials, but it's affordable and people won't be afraid to daily drive it..which makes the Z06 performance for the dollar a better deal no matter the time frame.
Nobody cares about 0-60 that’s the most irrelevant performance statistic
@@namegoeshere2903 If you can pay $2.5m for a car that'll be worth $5m in 10 years then you would. Comparing it to a cheaper American car on the basis of performance is missing the point, and comparing it on price is missing the point. It's a $2.5m exotica limited run Ferrari with solid gold residual value and guaranteed classic status. No mass produced Corvette even figures in these calculations.
Only Americans care about 0-60.
I couldn't agree more with you about the all hybrid stupid stuff! Gorgeous Rari!! This and the Roma, are the most beautiful Ferrari of the modern era since the 355 has been discontinued. Thanks Doug and cheers from spain
The Roma looks like dogshit lmao, beaten out by the 812 Competizione any day in terms of design

Love it! Wish I could get one! Killer looks! A V12 symphony!
In contrast, I was surprised how practical my F8 Tributo is- it has a moderate front trunk, glove box, door pockets, two center console spaces for phones, and a parcel shelf behind the seats! I didn't expect the F8 to have such a degree of everyday usefulness! Not for "Costco", but maybe for overnight trips for two, or short trips to see Abu at the QuickieMart!
The Daytona SP3 even accelerated faster than SF1000 F1 car from 2020.
