One extra stallion leaves the stable—tailor-made, carbon-clad, and tyre-trimmed—for a cause that’s all heart and horsepower.
Monterey, California —
In a move that proves even the most exclusive garage in Maranello has room for one more noble steed, Ferrari has announced the creation of a one-off Tailor Made Daytona SP3, dubbed “599+1”, to be auctioned for charity during Monterey Car Week. Yes, Enzo’s spirit just shifted into philanthropic overdrive.
This isn’t just another Daytona SP3 (not that there’s such a thing as a normal one). This capstone example goes beyond the already-sold-out 599-unit run of the Icona Series V12 masterpiece. Crafted through Ferrari’s bespoke Tailor Made program, it arrives in a head-turning two-tone livery—exposed carbon fiber paired with a generous splash of Giallo Modena, because charity doesn’t mean you can’t be the loudest (and fastest) at the party.
But the real punchline? The interior is made from recycled tires. That’s right—Ferrari just upcycled your old rubber and made it haute couture. Even Greta Thunberg might nod in respect before plugging her EV into a wall.
And of course, the cherry on this carbon-fiber cake: it wears a Ferrari logotype so large across the top, it could double as a Maranello-sponsored parachute in case things get really fast. A unique plaque engraved “599+1” reminds owners and gawkers alike that they’re witnessing something never to be repeated—unless, of course, Enzo appears in someone’s dreams and says “make one more.”
All proceeds go to The Ferrari Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity focused on global educational initiatives, proving once again that Maranello has both heart and horsepower. Recent projects include support for Save the Children and rebuilding a wildfire-damaged school in California. Call it V12-fueled virtue.
Fiorano Meets Philanthropy
Underneath the show-stopping livery lies the soul of a gladiator. The Daytona SP3, an homage to Ferrari’s victorious 1960s sports prototypes, boasts a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 that spits out 840 cv, hits 0–100 km/h in 2.85 seconds, and could probably outrun your WiFi. All that engineering fury wrapped in a body that belongs more on the lawn at Pebble Beach than on Earth.
The Icona Legacy
As the second creation in Ferrari’s Icona series, the SP3 follows the Monza SP1/SP2 and continues the tradition of remixing Maranello’s golden years for modern-day dreamers. These are not your everyday Ferraris—they’re museum-grade myth-machines for collectors who prefer their nostalgia with a redline.
Final Lap
It’s bold, it’s yellow, it’s possibly the only car on Earth that can pull off recycled tire upholstery without being laughed off Rodeo Drive. Whether you’re a billionaire bidder or just a fan of fast cars doing good things, the Tailor Made Ferrari Daytona SP3 “599+1” is proof that speed, style, and soul can indeed coexist—especially when there’s a cause at the finish line.
So this August, expect fierce bidding, high-revving emotions, and perhaps a few tears from collectors who missed the original 599. Ferrari’s adding one more, but you’ll need a checkbook as powerful as its engine—and a heart to match.
