Unless you’re an oil baron, Crypto billionaire or Jay Leno, you’re likely not going to own a real Ferrari Daytona SP3, so you’ll have to make do with the Technic version instead.

LEGO have really notched up their packaging, to deliver a premium experience fit for a Ferrari. The new box is red and loud, with a new rectangular shape, and a diagonal cutout along the back.
For fans that want to get even closer to the action, Ferrari and the LEGO Group have opened their doors to give supercar enthusiasts a sneak peek behind the scenes of the model’s design in an exclusive coffee table style book.
The book delves deep into the innovation and engineering excellence that unites both brands and takes a closer look at the collaborative process of conceptualizing, designing and producing the model, featuring interviews from LEGO Group and Ferrari designers and third-generation LEGO Group owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen on why the model means so much to him.
The LEGO Technic Daytona SP3, The Sense of Perfection coffee book will be available exclusively on LEGO.com globally from June 1, 2022 in an exclusive print run of 5000 copies.
The fourth addition to the LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Concept series measures over 5.5 inches (14 cm) high, 23 inches (59 cm) long and 9.5 inches (25 cm) wide when fully built.
The new 1:8 scale LEGO Technic model boasts a functioning 8-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifter, a V12 engine with moving pistons and striking silver lacquered rims.
A pair of working butterfly doors open to unveil the sleek interior with a perfectly recreated cockpit with the prancing horse logo resplendent on the steering wheel, adding the final touches to this visionary model.
Fans can get even closer to the action by recreating the Ferrari Daytona SP3’s elegant design and sleek aerodynamics as they build this traffic-stopping red model.
There has been unprecedented collaboration between LEGO and Ferrari to make this happen, as I can imagine that LEGO’s designs were given advanced access to Ferrari’s design team.
They have graciously supplied these photos of both teams working in person and virtually.
The set was designed by Uwe Wabra, who is a Technic and Ferrari maestro, and who also worked on 2020’s 42115 Lamborghini Sian FKP 37.
And last but not least, here’s a side by side look with the real thing.
What do you think of 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3? Will you be breaking the bank for this?
