The official Daytona SP3 Thread!

If Max had yielded at Silverstone he would already be World Champion..I know there's a lot of Hamilton detractors on here. But one this that Lewis has always been is a hard but clean race driver. If Max misses out he has only himself to blame.

 

Wrong thread.

 

Max who?

And the interior is absolutely disgusting to look at and it sounds even worse. It's not bad looking but i wouldnt rank it in any top list.

 

The more i look at this one, the more the LaFerrari looks amazing.

 

Clean?he's as clean as a garbage can!

So what’s the point of the “eyelids” over the lights?

And why are they not flush?

 

It keeps the head lights moist.

 

That was a good one!

If you still have doubts whether Daytona SP3 has...
1) Good looks
2) Main influence from 330 P series

... then I suggest watching this video from 11:38 onwards:


Pay attention how front/rear fenders dive deep into the radiator air inlets/exits, effectively hiding the family resemblance to 330 series unless viewing the car from close distance. It's a hidden beauty then.

P.S. I'm well aware of blatantly obvious influences from 250 P5, but I still think the overall multilayered shape has more common elements with 330 P4.

 

We all understand weight is part of the force equation. 1500 kilos seems to be the Ferrari magic weight, for like a long time.

But if the Daytona weighs as much as the LaFerrari, without the batteries and electric motor then it's a fair question to ask why.

Until further evidence, I'm going to blame it on the stupid ass five lug pattern on the wheel. No center lock?!? C'mon Ferrari!

 

For sure Ferrari Design is introducing some new forms with this car, mostly around the graphics.

The front air intake, the side treatment around the door, the pinched waist, the shape of the air exits vents on the rear fenders, the rear.

Design wise, this is the testarossa of our time. I'm cool with that.

 

yeah that's just never gonna look good to me

 

Looks very F1 sort of like side pods and barge boards

That’s true but it would have been nicer if the shapes were more organic and aero-driven like a real F1.

Here, as they are wont to do, they prioritized a more graphical element—even more than playing with volumes—and it kind of smacks of the kind of thing a maker of more mundane cars would do for some cheap effect, sometimes done more in bas-relief. Case in point, the grey outline on the doors of this car:

the SF90 is the ugliest Ferraris of all time, then the 296 GTB in second place with its Ray-Ban tail lights, this one comes in third place I guess.

The pinched waist feels like they finally got away with using it in a real car, had been attempted or hinted in several previous designs. IMO there's good reason why it was ditched all those many times before. Least appealing feature of the Daytona, to me at least.
