The unique Ferrari Daytona SP3 599+1 costs up to 683 billion VND

The auction organizer of this Ferrari Daytona SP3 599+1 was going for over $3.5 million, but when the auction ended, it was paid up to $26 million.

Ferrari stole the show at this year's Monterey Car Week with the Daytona SP3 599+1, a one-of-a-kind, custom-built Ferrari that sold at RM Sotheby's for a whopping $26 million, instantly becoming one of the most expensive modern cars ever sold at auction.

When Ferrari launched the Daytona SP3 in 2021, all 599 cars were ordered before production even began. Each customer paid around $2.25 million for the V12 supercar, an ode to the brand’s legendary prototype sports cars of the 1960s. That should have been the end of the story.

But earlier this summer, Ferrari announced a surprise change. To raise money for the Ferrari Foundation, the company will build an extra Daytona SP3 and auction it off during Monterey Car Week. This “extra” Ferrari will be designated as a 599+1, with a special plaque and serial number confirming its unique status. For collectors who missed out on the original 599s, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When the hammer went down at RM Sotheby's, the Daytona SP3 599+1 sold for more than ten times its original price. That puts it in 13th place on the list of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction, but no one will believe that a billionaire would spend $26 million, enough to keep 100 to 150 supercars in your garage.

To put that in perspective, it's only $400,000 behind the legendary 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale, which sold for $26.4 million in 2014. Every car above it on the list is a classic. The Daytona SP3 599+1 is the first modern Ferrari to make the cut.

The Daytona SP3 was initially valued at “more than $3.5 million,” but bidders in Monterey and online thought otherwise, but no one expected it to fetch more than $10 million, let alone $20 million. It wasn’t until the auction that the fierce competition pushed the car past $20 million in just a few minutes before finally settling at $26 million, cementing its status as a modern collector’s legend.

Ferrari didn't just create a special SP3, it also gave it a distinctive look. The car wears a striking two-tone paint job of exposed carbon fiber and Giallo Modena, with gold "Ferrari" lettering running down the centerline.

The cockpit is covered in recycled tire textile, with Ferrari's signature prancing horse emblem present everywhere. The dashboard and steering column are made from carbon fiber, similar to that used on Ferrari's SF-25 Formula 1 race car.

Part of the Daytona SP3 599+1's appeal, beyond exclusivity, is its history. It may be the last naturally aspirated mid-engined V12 Ferrari sold as a new car. The company switched to hybrid powertrains with the new F80, meaning the 599+1 may be the last non-hybrid Ferrari V12 road car to leave Maranello.

The V12 engine produces 829 horsepower and 514 pound-feet (697 Nm) of torque, helping the car accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 2.85 seconds. The car accelerates to a quarter mile in about 10.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h), while a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch automatic sends power to the rear wheels.
