Maranello, 08 July 2025 – In a rare and generous gesture that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Italian excellence and social responsibility, Ferrari has announced a unique, one-of-a-kind Daytona SP3 Tailor Made, set to be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s during Monterey Car Week in August 2025. This special car, bearing the number 599+1, will stand apart from the original, fully allocated production run of 599 units—making it an automotive unicorn in every sense.
Proceeds from the sale will be donated in full to The Ferrari Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to global educational initiatives. This landmark initiative marks a continuation of Ferrari’s commitment to philanthropic efforts, most recently demonstrated in its support for Save the Children and the rebuilding of the Aveson Charter School in Altadena, California, devastated by the Eaton Wildfire.
A Capstone of Ferrari’s Tailor Made Excellence
Developed by Ferrari’s elite Tailor Made customisation programme, the Daytona SP3 599+1 is not just a hyper-exclusive collector’s car—it’s a work of art. The vehicle debuts an eye-catching two-tone exterior that blends exposed carbon fibre with iconic Giallo Modena, further accentuated by a high-gloss black front splitter, side sills, and rear diffuser.
Making an unprecedented design statement, the car features a full-body Ferrari logotype in Giallo Modena, a first in the marque’s storied history. The visual treatment sets the tone for a vehicle that fuses avant-garde design with historic reverence.
Inside, innovation meets sustainability with an interior fabric made from recycled tyres, marrying environmental consciousness with luxury. The cabin is further enriched by bespoke detailing, including a Prancing Horse motif embedded into the unique material. The dashboard and steering column are constructed from Formula 1-grade carbon fibre, creating a seamless dialogue between Ferrari’s racetrack dominance and road-going craftsmanship.
One More Than Perfection: 599+1
In Ferrari’s world of exacting standards and limited editions, numbers speak volumes. By assigning this car the moniker 599+1, Ferrari underscores its unique status—a gesture beyond exclusivity. A special plaque will mark the vehicle’s singularity, making it a crown jewel for any collector fortunate enough to secure it at auction.
All for a Cause: The Ferrari Foundation
All proceeds from this sale will benefit The Ferrari Foundation, an organisation recognised by the IRS as a public charity. The Foundation is deeply committed to raising the standards of education globally, focusing on underserved communities and rebuilding educational infrastructure in times of crisis. The Daytona SP3 Tailor Made will thus serve a dual legacy—as an automotive masterpiece and a catalyst for educational opportunity.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3: Engineering Poetry in Motion
Unveiled as the second model in Ferrari’s celebrated Icona series, the Daytona SP3 is inspired by the brand’s victorious V12 sports prototypes from the 1960s. A modern homage to the golden era of endurance racing, it features a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 840 cv, with acceleration figures that are nothing short of staggering: 0 to 100 km/h in 2.85 seconds, and 0 to 200 km/h in 7.4 seconds.
Its sculptural design, blistering performance, and engineering purity have made the SP3 an instant icon since its limited-run debut.
Ferrari Icona: Reverence and Reinvention
Launched in 2018 with the Monza SP1 and SP2, the Ferrari Icona series pays tribute to the marque’s rich racing lineage while reimagining it through the lens of modern innovation. Each Icona model is a standalone work of design and engineering—not just nostalgic nods to the past but redefinitions of what it means to be iconic.
These cars are not available to the public at large but are instead offered exclusively to Ferrari’s most dedicated clients and collectors—custodians of the brand’s legacy and spirit.
A Collector’s Dream. A Future Reimagined.
With the auction set to take place at Monterey Car Week, one of the world’s most prestigious automotive gatherings, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 Tailor Made 599+1 promises to be a centrepiece not only for its craftsmanship and rarity—but for the global impact it aims to achieve through education.
More than just a supercar, this vehicle is a symbol of Ferrari’s enduring values: passion, innovation, heritage, and responsibility.
