Someone just crashed a $4 million Ferrari Daytona SP3 in London.
First time's always the hardest. This particular Rosso Libano-painted example appears to be the inaugural member of the "I bent my limited-production hypercar" club, sporting a thoroughly cracked front bumper and splitter.
The damage inventory reads like a Ferrari parts manager's dream invoice:
- Carbon fiber panel below the headlight? Holed.
- Front nose? Scratched.
- Lower grille section? Mangled.
When Rare Meets Pavement
Only 599 Daytona SP3s exist on planet Earth. Each packs Ferrari's nuclear option: a mid-mounted 6.5-liter V12 lifted from the 812 Competizione, delivering 850 horsepower through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
This particular example, previously spotted at Heveningham Concours in 2023, wears matte black wheels and apparently sees regular use. The owner actually drives the thing. Aggressively.
Respect.
$4 Million Meets Immovable Object
Social media caught the aftermath on a rainy London evening. The Daytona sat damaged alongside a LaFerrari with its own front-end scars. Misery loves company, especially Italian company with twelve cylinders.
The SP3 represents Ferrari's most exclusive modern offering. Its Icona series status makes it more sculpture than transportation – a rolling homage to Ferrari's 1967 24 Hours of Daytona podium sweep.
Restoration Incoming
Ferrari's Maranello artisans will undoubtedly restore this carbon-fiber masterpiece to showroom condition. The real cost isn't the repair bill – it's the temporary absence of one of the most sonically magnificent engines ever bolted into a road car.
The V12 screams to 9,500 rpm. The chassis delivers telepathic response. The aerodynamics generate downforce without visible wings.
And now one has tasted London concrete.
The owner deserves credit. Hypercars should be driven, not hermetically sealed in climate-controlled garages. Metal gets bent. Carbon fiber cracks. Engines need rebuilding.
That's the cost of admission when you actually use the performance you've paid for.
