by The Last Ferrari Daytona SP3 Set a Record at Auction
The final example of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 was sold for an incredible $26 million during Monterey Car Week, setting a record for modern models of the brand. This amount is five times the car’s usual price. However, the buyer did not just spend a lot of money—all proceeds from the sale will go to charity.
The Ferrari Foundation, which will receive the funds, supports educational initiatives. For example, it recently helped rebuild a school in California destroyed by a fire. The car features a unique design: one half of the body is painted yellow, while the other is left in carbon fiber. The interior is trimmed with materials from recycled tires and features Formula 1 technologies.
Although the price of $26 million does not reflect the actual cost of the Daytona SP3, it demonstrates the buyer’s generosity and support for social projects. Furthermore, such a purchase can become a beneficial tax deduction.
This Ferrari is equipped with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 828 horsepower, making it a true pinnacle of engineering art.
