Ferrari Daytona SP3 "Tailor Made" Sells for Record-Breaking $26 Million USD

Overview

  • The RM Sotheby's Monterey Car Week sale closed at $26 million, more than seven times the pre-sale expectation of over $3.5 million and ranking as the 13th most expensive car ever auctioned.
  • The car is a singular Tailor Made Daytona SP3 built as an extra example beyond the 599-unit run, often referred to as 599+1.
  • Its exterior pairs Giallo Modena paint with exposed carbon fiber and carries a full-length Ferrari logotype not previously used on a road car.
  • The cabin uses Q-Cycle upholstery made from recycled tires with carbon fiber trim sourced from Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 program.
  • Proceeds fund the Ferrari Foundation's education work, including support for rebuilding Altadena's Aveson Charter School after the Eaton wildfire, with some outlets framing the purchase as a donation that could be tax-deductible.
