    I just saw the SP3 in person and what a difference seeing it live. Pictures don't do it justice. True of most cars I suppose.

    Biggest surprise for me was the side skirts. They seemed huge and almost silly to me in the photos. In person I can see the aero and now I get it. Glad I took the trip to see it.

    How can that be when 2022 is less than one month old?

    I hope this does not come across as ill informed or dumb, but I cant understand if the Daytona SP3 is the LaFerrari successor or not? After reading a fair bit about it, some represent it as such, whilst others say it is a 'place holder' LaFerrari chassis car and not the true LaFerrai successor. So is it officially part of the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrai heritage line up. Or is the upcoming Le mans hypercar the true official next halo Ferrari? I would just like to understand the official view, (not opinions), Thanks!:)

    Daytona SP3 is NOT a La Ferrari successor.
    It is a new Icona model (Monza SP1 and SP2 came before).

    Ah ok thanks for the clarity, its hard to keep up these days with so many hypercars being launched every other minute!! It seems nowadays there is a level of car that is not the top, but would have easily been the top even just a decade ago, like the SF90.

    Haha I made this post! I’m the admin of Rosso812. I mentioned 2022 because the Daytona SP3 won the 2022 edition. In 2021 the Maserati MC20 took the first place I think

    The Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) will be a prototype race car; nothing to do with a road car. The next LaFerrari will be an entirely new model, unrelated to the SP3 and the LMH.

    I can confirm it! Side mirrors are asymmetrical.
    The answer I gave myself by observing the Daytona from life is that from the driver's seat, the right mirror would not be visible, so it was placed higher. And besides, I also think it's a kind of habit.
