Not so fast!

Over the years, many have said money can't buy you happiness, but, it will get you that Ferrari. Not anymore. It means nothing, that you are rich. You simply don't get to pick that 2022 Ferrari. Ferrari, has to pick you. And, Ferrari will still make a few billion dollars with the new limited run, Ferrari Daytona SP3. That is the 3rd in the row of, old is new category. While the likes of Lamborghini tried to recreate the old with new parts, Ferrari went with the inspired by the old for theirs.

The new old looking Ferrari Daytona SP3 does not look like any other a Ferrari to date. And yet, it reminds you of some of the greatest Ferrari's that have rolled out of Maranello. What trickery is this? The design team has cleverly retrofitted the old desirable elements with a modern twist. Take the headlights for example. The pop up lights have been replaced by the batting eyelids and yet the first thought that crosses your mind when you seem them is, pop up headlights! The grilled back is, back and you will not notice that it now sits over the rear diffusers. And there is no silly rear wings but instead a stealthy lip on the boot. Ferrari has gone a long way to make it look old, paying respect to some of the greatest before and have been very successful with it. All of the 500 SP3 cars are spoken for. It is very reassuring to see Ferrari is still invested in making the gorgeous sports car and not totally distracted by the SUVs, and the Ferrari Purosangue.

So we wonder, how do you get on Ferrari's naughty list now?
