The official Daytona SP3 Thread!

Well, i do agree ... the goal was to incorporate the different design elements, and in fact different design languages, from several different cars (330 P4, 350 CanAm, 512 S, P5, etc etc) without actually "replicating" any "nostalgic" lines.

... and this is the car you get

 

Bastard child. We all know who the real father is .

 

Yes, but the point of my post is that they have absolutely not mentioned once the P5 which is the most obvious source of inspiration for this mash-up of designs.

Mr. Massini (@Marcel Massini) gave us the scoop about the P5 link due to the noted references of the strakes, wheel openings and light bars. And I say bars because even though there is not an obvious one at the front like on P5, as noted by @crinoid the P5 front light bar is clearly hinted at on the Daytona:

Where is the original P5 nowadays?

 

P5 became an Alfa Romeo...

 

I’m happy with that!

Interesting .... but it does not look like a Ferrari in my humble opinion. But what do I know, I only own..........

 

A bicycle? Wait, a Tesla? Three rabbits? Don’t leave me hanging. The suspense is killing me!

I believe that the concept 250 P5 Berlinetta Speciale is rarely mentioned because it is a totally Pininfarina concept and Ferrari had nothing more to do with Pininfarina I don't think they care much about advertising them. Having a style center in the house, they don't want to mention too much pininfarina. this is my thought.

 

Sure?

This?:

 

Not “rarely” mentioned, it was never mentioned in association with the Daytona.

As I noted before maybe Ferrari tried to get agreement from Pininfarina to use the P5 reference but weren’t allowed to. If not, I don’t see how the P5 was never mentioned as it is the most obvious and biggest influence on the Daytona.

 

No.... it is in ferrari 2022 official calender ..

 

The Raupp Ferrari Calendar is no longer the "Official Ferrari Calendar" but it is now called "Rosso Corsa 2022".

The 250 P5 is pictured on the cover of the 2022 calendar. The car as such was recreated in 2000 for Japanese collector Mr. K., who in 2013 sold it to a collector in Switzerland. Raupp photographed it in June 2021 in Switzerland.

Here's the recreated 250 P5 at Classiche in Maranello in the early 2000's.

Marcel,
Was it recreated from scratch, or using the original chassis/engine/body/components?

 

It has no engine in it.
Showcar only.

More surprised that someone by now has not implied or directly stated that the P5 was to some degree a collaborative effort even if it was not.

 

Pardon my ignorance but I feel the question remains unanswered. Does recreated mean it's all from scratch or is it using any original part? Also, any chassis number(s) involved?

 

There can be multiple reasons and combinations such as these:

1) Pininfarina made P4/5 without asking permission from Ferrari beforehand. It seems Ferrari did same to Pininfarina as a revenge. In the end, P4/5 did actually harm to Ferrari in a sense that it was good looking car and Ferrari could not create similar, more faithful design to original P4.
2) Ferrari wants to set the trends by creating unique designs. For a larger audience strakes now look like they originated from Ferrari design house.
3) Perhaps Ferrari has agreed with Pininfarina on the approval of P4/5 that Pininfarina owes them a favour.

 

Does anyone have info about the rear "window"?

 

Are the lucky US buyers able to spec their car yet ?
