While technically no longer a driver, James Hinchcliffe, known as Hinch, is still an integral part of the field. He remains friends with most of the drivers and serves as an informal liaison between them and the series, emailing drivers after each race asking for their concerns and forwarding them on to those in charge. Now in a broadcast role at NBC for Indycar and select IMSA races, Hinch does not rule out racing again, should the right opportunity arise. As of 2023, he has become a 'big F1 guy' commentating on select F1 races for F1TV

2019 ESPN Body Issue Controversy? Rumor has it that Arrow disapproved of James baring it all and this contributed to him being 'relieved of his duties.' James remained under contract for 2020, under which he was required to be with the team on race weekends and make sponsor appearances, but was free to pursue other opportunities. In 2020, Hinchcliffe joined NBC Sports as analyst for IndyCar races and select IMSA races when he did not enter as a driver. Read the ESPN article and view the pictures.

Hinch often referred to himself as the class clown of Indycar while he was a driver, bringing his slightly irreverent sense of humor out as often as he could. He’s a natural in front of a camera, entertaining fans throughout his whole career. He’s very intelligent and capable of explaining complex concepts in an easy to understand way. He’s got a sunny personality, is very personable and is almost always full of good humor and enthusiasm.

Fanfic Lore

Good friends with Conor Daly, Alexander Rossi and Marco Andretti. The four could be considered a 'band of brothers'

Often paired with one of the others of the band.

“At its core, the Cizeta project was a cunning and daring exhibition that finds its roots within Lamborghini. Following Chrysler's purchase of Lamborghini in 1987, a strong portion of the Italian company's staff had bailed out. In fact, there were more of Lamborghini's original team members working upon the Cizeta V16T than there were on the Diablo project, which was being conceived at roughly the same time.

Cizeta's founder, Claudio Zampolli, had previously been a test driver and engineer for Lamborghini, and following the Chrysler buyout, had found himself in Los Angeles to create his own, world-class supercar. In essence, the Lamborghini brand had never utilized motorsport to sell their cars, instead relying on an overall sense of outrageous flamboyance and overall speed to attract buyers. Zampolli had utilized this same mindset with Cizeta, ultimately creating something far more extravagant and powerful than his former employer could offer to the public.

Adding further Lambo flair to the Cizeta was their utilization of Marcello Gandini, one of the greatest automotive designers of all time, who'd previously styled the Lamborghini Countach. His work is evident in the overall design of the Cizeta V16T, especially on the front end, which bears a strong resemblance to the Lamborghini Diablo. This is no accident, as Gandini had apparently hustled himself overseas to pen the design of both cars.

However, unlike the Diablo, or pretty much any car offered for sale during its run, the Cizeta offered something inherently distinctive; 16 cylinders of pure, unadulterated power. Its 6.0L V16 engine, mounted transversely, was the heart of the entire car and also the source of its name. That nameplate, originally dubbed the Cizeta-Moroder V16T, is a direct reference to Giorgio Moroder, the academy-award winning composer and "Father of Disco", who'd originally set up half of the financial backing to create the V16T.

In an interesting twist, none other than Sylvester Stallone was first offered the chance to finance the car, although the actor apparently backed down for unknown reasons. Moroder would also back down from this position, resulting in only one of the original Cizeta cars to bear his name.

(…)

In terms of outright performance, the Cizeta V16T is rated at a staggering 540bhp (533 hp), which was absolutely insane in 1991, the first year the car was marketed. In comparison, the competing Lamborghini Diablo offered 492 bhp (485 hp), which honestly wasn't much less.

Nonetheless, the Diablo topped out at 180mph, whereas the V16T managed to pierce the 200mph barrier, which was highly novel for the early 1990s. Over at Ferrari, their Testarossa only managed to shell out 385 bhp (380 hp) for 1991, putting it well below the performance chart in comparison. Truthfully, the Cizeta V16T can be compared to virtually all supercars produced over the last 31 years without scrutiny, as this model still remains available to this day (although it seems that few have actually decided to pony up the cash to order one).

(…)

At this very moment, if you've got the finances, you can head over to Cizeta's official website and place your order for a new V16T. The website itself looks a bit archaic, so it's unsure if anyone is still tending the light at the end of this tunnel, but the company was on record as late as 2018, saying they were still open for business. With an MSRP listed at $800,000, it would definitely be far more interesting than virtually any other new car for that price.”

Possible Bookend Social Mood Cue

Just over two years ago, during one of the worst bear markets in decades, these pages noted the following bullish mood cue:

______________________________________________________

From July 26th, 2022:

_______________________________________________________

At the time, Mood Report noted the following:

Note that the October 2018 mood cue took time to work, and that these markets have been artificially propped up for decades. This cue, even if valid, might therefore take time as well.

Sure enough the market soon sold off hard from its summer 2022 highs into the October 2022 lows.

Fast forward to Summer 2024 after one of the most epic rallies in decades off those October 2022 lows and a bearish bookend may have just appeared:

I don't expect this mood cue to have any better timing than the last one. But given that current sentiment levels are now fully opposite -- hot now vs ice cold in 2022 -- dramatic news of a production supercar finally breaking the 1,000-horsepower barrier is, from a social mood standpoint, something to keep an eye on.

Especially since the S&P 500 "recognized" the upper Fibonacci confluence zone (5638.73-5722.56) as mentioned last month.

It sold off hard from the Fib zone. Something else to keep an eye on.

We are in receipt of several things today that are increasing our chances of doing well and we will get help too

-about 60% of Pontiac we have confiscated the equipment and we have done so because we could not watch anybody suffer because of any of these idiots for robots in the suck at it and we need to confiscate all of it and the rest will be too very hot and we had to hold it and we're eliminating a whole bunch of idiots there's a lot of them very fast it's going to increase the number of services gone what's going on right now he's nervous of them are going to be gone by the end of the day separate from the war over stashes and taxes and they're going to regret doing it

-there's another item too that we are getting possession of because it'll be missused or not used at all usually it's the ladder. It's another car company Volkswagen and they have plants everywhere of all kinds this company is huge you looked at it again and they're all they have the size of which was gigantic Pontiac and their gigantic it's a company that's like half the size of Ford so if you pass it down there like a quarter of the size of Ford and VW was everywhere at one point they were half the size of Ford and for got bigger. But they shut the stores in 2018 and shut the doors and at that time they were a quarter the size and all that stuff just sitting there for 5 years almost six and people are going in it now fight over there once it remain we took about 65% and we are coordinating them off in the perimeter another 15% of Pontiac and almost 20% of VW it's a good amount and it's enough to run the whole company and the remaining percentages are being fought over and they might be in tax well come and collect them after they're done and for general automobile manufacturing that's what we're doing it for and as a side note then Arnold has a portion of Pontiac and a portion of VW it's about 5% of each and it's in the number now but and he wants to cut a deal and wish the company uniform. And we are having meetings with him already. So our son is joking and he's in a boardroom and Chris kroll is in the border with him there's another guy or two it is looking around and Chris kroll is trying to start a conversation and our son just opens his eyes wider and looks around and finally we come to the door like 10 of us. It's quite comical with his skits. And he doesn't look skittish or anything you just looks like he's holding that stuff and yeah then we come in it's called it was comical but he wasn't laughing. And he also owns part of VW and wants to talk about the same stuff and keeping the company uniform and we want to do that too and we have designs but he's pretty good at keeping companies afloat and knowing what the math is and we think the max are looking for fast cars and stuff and he thinks they're not judging by these supercar fiasco and then he said maybe he died because of that so it doesn't look normal at all and he's for covid-19 and the manure stuff which they might be for but he's not for him running around telling everybody about it so you started to get something that would be like the military versus civilians even if these are cleared out and he's getting what people say this constantly too much but and you can block them he's going around we need to double check it too but he sees that they are for it then you cover to go anywhere and it says I'm just helping out that's true

-mac Daddy has part of front yard he has part of Pontiac and he's not letting it go and doesn't want to join the consortium and our son says what are your compete with him with and he says that's good news. Anderson corner of the market on the banshee so Mac is thinking about it cuz he usually makes that kind of stuff and ben Arnold is not that happy. So they have something we can argue about click and Clack and that is who they are. There's a few other things this is important though

-additionally we are coming across more companies like this a lot more and they're in our area of course in the cities that are vacating there are several companies that are more or less, that are defunct that we are absorbing. One of them is Chrysler that company is been failing and less and less vehicles a year until they're almost gone and you see the guys has a share and they would have more control than their share but that's something we're doing and we are interested in this company too and the same method can be used Chrysler has an F-Type coupe it was pretty decent it has a super car that's very fast and their cars in general are fast the super car is a C2 and they don't really have a C1 but they used to and we know what it looks like and a c3 and we work on those and see what the outcome is they have like a mega car too and we're looking at that and make a car and the guys want to be part of that too well if you put them together it's like 30% and they're kind of control so we're going to move out on that idea it's one of the better ones and we of course had that idea too but he thinks it'll work and Max has been around with us for a long time and ben too and they just have us build things so it's true did you try and find things but they're not obtrusive. There's a couple other things going on too and it is involving huge companies

-left there to who know what is Fisher Price it's a toy company we have a lot of ideas for toys and children were pretty quick one of them is to make toy cars that actually work somebody's toy cars are so slow that they don't do anything hey kids get upset and angry they try and fix them and their parents like all these parts everywhere from ebikes some of them get it together because so damn fast that they get hurt or in trouble that they put them into jobs and I think it's funny a lot of mac kids were doing it. And I think it's funny because our son was showing up and they're talking about all the time no but a few of them are and it's going like this we need cars that actually do stuff at least off road or on road anything and he knows the problem they have to be so weak if they can't go anywhere inside the house and really that's where it's stemming from so people are looking at that and that's going to be a change the weird receipt of the Fisher Price company and it's a big company very big and into so much plastic stuff it's ridiculous and plastic is all over the plants and the huge piles of it that are to be recycled and we're collecting more and more everyday elsewhere then we looked at and said that is so much plastic and it's for toys and we're trying to decide what toys to manufacture and he said that people easily leave critiques with the store and they report it and we have accountant for all that and really yeah we've already looked at that and we know what to do that's true it's good information and it's valuable to go there and finance I sent it to our son you can rely on that but people are collecting the data to find out what they can sell cuz they want to get plastic part of it is accurate and there's a ton of it okay huge huge piles of information and there are few choice they love and that work and we'll make those there's a couple other companies we're going to mention in a moment

Revolutionizing Personalization: How Customization Drives McLaren's Success

For McLaren, a British automaker famous for creating high-performance sports cars and supercars, customization has had a big impact. McLaren has always prioritized personalization, and one of their distinctive selling points has been their readiness to customize their goods to meet the needs of its customers. 

In recent years, McLaren's personalization program has experienced substantial expansion. From distinctive exterior paint colors to customized interior trims and stitching, the organization offers a wide variety of customized alternatives. Customers can even request that the carbon fiber parts of their car be coated in a certain color, a feature that is exclusive to McLaren. 

Revenue has increased as a result of the brand's dedication to personalization. According to a CNBC article, bespoke customization jobs are handled by McLaren's "Special Operations" branch.

The customization process at McLaren has also been shortened and made more interactive for customers thanks to the usage of sophisticated vehicle visualizers. Customers can design and customize their dream car at home using the company's online configurator. Customers can see how their choices affect the overall look and feel of the vehicle thanks to the visualizer, which updates the design of the automobile in real-time as they make their selections. 

In conclusion, McLaren's success has been significantly influenced by customization, with the company standing out from its rivals due to its readiness to customize its goods to match the specific needs of its customers. McLaren has been able to boost sales and give their consumers a more engaging and interactive experience by providing a broad variety of customized options and investing in cutting-edge automobile visualizers.

The vehicle actually demonstrates what the marque is able to in phrases of creativity and craftsmanship." The paintings in this car masterpiece is a symbiosis of art, layout and technology. Entirely in step with the philosophy of enterprise founder Ettore Bugatti, who as soon as said: "If it bears contrast with some other vehicle, it isn't a Bugatti." Shortly after the arena ideal of the Divo in August 2018, the concept for a geometric-dynamic algorithmic fading sample at the bodywork emerged in collaboration with the purchaser. What the collector from america had in thoughts changed into a strict geometric sample which include diamond shapes in a completely unique colour contrast. In collaboration with the collector, the Bugatti layout and improvement crew then set approximately growing the unique colors 'Customer Special Red' and 'Graphite' - each metal tones - to attain the contrasting impact. The diamond sample changed into designed to run exactly from the the front over the edges to the rear - matching the silhouette of the Divo. It took the crew over a year-and-a-1/2 of to discover and put in force the technical and photo solutions. However, few may want to have anticipated how complicated and tough it might be to color the diamonds onto the auto frame with precision and specific definition. This changed into because of the reality that the virtual styles withinside the CAD software endure little resemblance to fact: because of the three-dimensional, sculptural shape of the Divo with its contours, curves and ribs, the 2D-published diamonds have become distorted at the floor of the special hyper sports activities vehicle. As a result, they needed to be digitally modified. All it took changed into one millimeter's distinction to smash the whole visible impact. The diamonds additionally needed to be located flawlessly at the roofline, doorways and rear fender side that allows you to attain a smooth visible finish. Together with the purchaser, CAD modelers advanced and simulated a diamond sample layout with round 1,six hundred diamonds. A tremendously complicated and time-eating challenge. Weeks handed till the designers had been glad with the result. Six meter lengthy movies carried out exactly to the frame of a take a look at automobile had been used to test the sample. With enormous persistence, craftsmanship and talent, the designers ultimately located a manner to in shape the CAD facts with fact and pull the movie over the deeply concave floor with out the diamonds turning into distorted or growing folds."The 'Lady Bug' changed into an awesome project and on the identical time an unforgettable experience. Due to the character of the undertaking, wherein a 2D photo changed into carried out to a 3-d sculpture, and after severa failed thoughts and tries to use the diamonds, we had been near giving up and saying: 'We can't meet the purchaser's request'," explains Jörg Grumer, Head of Color & Trim at Bugatti Design. "However, it's miles our profound conviction that we ought to in no way surrender and that our primary motivation ought to usually be to make the not possible viable for the purchaser. We are pleased with the knowledge we carried out in developing this Divo: a excessive pleasant and complicated product primarily based totally on natural craftsmanship and wonderful teamwork among layout and improvement."When Bugatti knowledgeable the purchaser that his imaginative and prescient might grow to be a fact, he changed into inspired via way of means of the attempt and technique worried in developing it. "The notion of this undertaking turning into a fact changed into now no longer best interesting however a dream of mine. I changed into actually floored upon delivery. Working with the Bugatti layout crew at the Lady Bug's manufacturing changed into an awesome experience, now no longer best withinside the authentic determination to the wonderful execution of the only of a type layout however additionally withinside the determination in any respect tiers worried withinside the very last presentation of the automobile. Not best is the automobile a real masterpiece and paintings of art, however it's miles the authentic peak of my series so far and the maximum tricky and properly advanced automobile I actually have owned. This is authentic due to the fact the crew at Bugatti are certainly masters in their craft and best paintings at the best degree of element in every masterpiece they produce."The diamonds withinside the movie are separated and transferred onto a switch movie, that is then caught onto the frame. Each one of the about 1,six hundred diamonds is checked and realigned if important. In early 2020, endless hours had been spent on a take a look at automobile till the builders and architects had been glad with the procedure. Shortly earlier than the auto changed into introduced to the purchaser, the very last practice session happened on some other take a look at automobile."Every maneuver needed to be precisely proper on this painstaking challenge, consequently we determined to do some other practice session earlier than the very last level of paintings. Because there may want to best be one try at the purchaser's vehicle. And that needed to be perfect," says Dirk Hinze, professional in customization and surfaces at Bugatti. With enormous persistence and instinct, the crew initially carried out the movie to the roofline with millimeter precision, continuously checking the location in terms of the door joint line and rear end. Once the Bugatti Divo 'Lady Bug' were ultimately processed, there had been no primary complications. Employees checked every and each diamond over numerous days to make sure that they had been located accurately, trimming them if important or changing the shapes. The subsequent challenge changed into to carry out the real portray and the painstaking and meticulous elimination of every diamond. 'Graphite' and clearcoat had been carried out on pinnacle of the impact paint 'Customer Special Red' that allows you to invert the sample. As a part of this technique, the paintwork changed into sanded, smoothed, checked, retouched after which re-sanded. It took the paintwork artist over weeks till his paintings changed into finished to perfection. "The precise project of the portray technique changed into in now no longer negative the cautiously carried out sample. This supposed that our portray talent withinside the very last segment changed into the essential issue in setting the completing touches to the auto, which had been important for us to fulfill our preferred of actually uncompromising and impeccable pleasant," explains Dirk Hinze. The multilayer paint shape now integrates the ruby diamonds calmly into an anthracite colour gradient. The technique of again and again smoothing out the sample created an extremely good intensity and brilliance withinside the colors. Months of hand craftsmanship had been introduced to completion. "We had been aware proper from the begin of the sensibilities referring to the purchaser vehicle and of the precise project of imposing each a technically very state-of-the-art and creative undertaking. The interest to element required and the reality that we needed to pursue a zero-illness method at the very last vehicle gave us amazing appreciate for the undertaking. Our ethos withinside the Color & Trim branch inside Bugatti Design changed into and has usually been to comprehend the purchaser's imaginative and prescient to perfection, which we performed once more on this undertaking," says Jörg Grumer. Highly customized, excessive-powered and special. With the Divo, Bugatti has advanced a hyper sports activities vehicle that revives the posh vehicle manufacturer's coachbuilding tradition. It is powered via way of means of Bugatti's iconic 1,500 PS, 8-liter W16 engine, with a pinnacle pace limited to 380 km/h. The Divo is constrained to simply forty devices in total, every priced at five million euros internet plus options, and produced withinside the Atelier in Molsheim. The first deliveries of the hyper sports activities vehicle had been made in August 2020, and all Divo motors will had been surpassed over to their proprietors withinside the first few months of 2021.

Rossi sees advantage for McLaren over rivals in unique F1-IndyCar team set-up | IndyCar

Alexander Rossi sees benefits in the McLaren’s unique combination of Formula 1 and IndyCar programmes, having joined the latter operation for 2023. He arrives at McLaren after seven years at Andretti Autosport, which is seeking to emulate its rival team by adding an F1 entry alongside its existing IndyCar squad. McLaren go into their fourth season in IndyCar since their full-time return to the series this year. In that time they have won four races, all with Rossi’s team mate Pato O’Ward, and have also expanded to race in Extreme E and now Formula E. They added a third full-time IndyCar entry in order to field Rossi this year. “It’s been very cool to kind of watch them evolve and expand over the past couple of months,” their new driver said. “Obviously I don’t have a benchmark of what they were before, but certainly the commitment to kind of performance and results goes without saying. It’s apparent throughout every level of the organisation. I’m very excited to get on track and stop talking about it and just get to work and start driving.” Rossi’s IndyCar career so far includes eight race wins, the first being his famous Indianapolis 500 victory as a rookie, and he was championship runner-up in 2018. He has already worked for McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, having driven in the Australian Supercars championship’s famous Bathurst 1000 race for the Walkinshaw Andretti United team, which Brown is a shareholder in through his United Autosports squad. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Brown “leads the charge” in encouraging people to join McLaren, said Rossi. “It’s pretty amazing to me with how easy he is how involved he is with every aspect of the IndyCar organisation, the F1 organisation, his sports car program. I don’t know how he’s in so many places at once, seemingly. Brown is “involved with every aspect of the IndyCar organisation” “He makes an effort to keep everyone up-to-date from top to bottom as to where things are, what the current objectives are and what’s future looks like.” Rossi sees clear benefits for McLaren’s IndyCar team from the fact the team also competes in F1. “I think what’s very cool about McLaren is we do have the resources of the McLaren F1 team,” he said. “They very much are being integrated in a lot of respects. “It’s not two separate entities. McLaren Racing, if you will, is one organisation that has its people and resources and intellect in kind of everything. It’s been pretty cool to see how that can be an advantage to us in terms of people, resources, simulations, software, kind of everything. We’ve been able to kind of rely on that and use that as a tool that maybe other teams certainly don’t have.” O’Ward will have some involvement with McLaren’s F1 team this year, most likely after the IndyCar season concludes in September. But there has been no indication that Rossi, who has five grand prix starts to his name, or Felix Rosenqvist will get F1 test mileage in 2023. However McLaren’s F1 arm have already looked elsewhere in the IndyCar talent pool, signing Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou as one of their reserve drivers for this season.

Saleen S7 LM 

Saleen  produced one of the fastest and most striking supercars on earth: the S7. Not only did the Saleen S7 look the part but it also offered some pretty extraordinary performance and, in Twin Turbo guise, had a claimed top speed of 248 mph (399 km/h).

This particular S7 was produced in 2007, but in 2018, it was one of a handful to be recommissioned as an S7 LM. As part of this recommissioning, it was finished in silver with black accents and was fitted with an adjustable biplane rear wing, a roof scoop, projector headlamps, a new rear lip spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirts, and custom air vents. The Bring A Trailer listing mentions that, as an LM, it also sits on center-locking 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

Significant modifications have also been made to the engine to turn this from a ‘regular’ S7 into an S7 LM. Powering it is a mid-mounted, 7.0-liter all-aluminum twin-turbocharged V8 that produces 1,000 hp and 850 lb-ft (1,152 Nm) of torque, significantly more than the original 550 hp S7 and the 750 hp S7 Twin Turbo. Coupled to the engine is a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.

First Look: The Ferrari Daytona SP3

On February 6th 1967, Ferrari pulled off one of the most spectacular feats in its entire history when it took the top three places at the 24 Hours of Daytona in the first round of that year’s International World Sports Car Championship. The three cars that shot past the checkered flag in that legendary side-by-side finish on Ford’s home turf – in first place a 330 P3/4, in second a 330 P4 and in third a 412 P – represented the pinnacle of development of the Ferrari 330 P3, a model that chief engineer Mauro Forghieri had significantly improved in each of the three racing car fundamentals: engine, chassis and aerodynamics. The 330 P3/4 perfectly encapsulated the spirit of the sports prototypes of the 1960s, a decade now considered the golden era of closed wheel racing and an enduring reference point for generations of engineers and designers.

The name of the new Icona evokes that legendary 1-2-3 finish and pays homage to the Ferrari sports prototypes that helped earn the marque its unparalleled motor sport status. The Daytona SP3, presented today at the Mugello Circuit during the 2021 Ferrari Finali Mondiali, is a limited edition that joins the Icona series which debuted in 2018 with the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2.

The Daytona SP3’s design is a harmonious interplay of contrasts, sublimely sculptural, voluptuous surfaces alternating with the kind of sharper lines that revealed the burgeoning importance of aerodynamics in the design of racers such as the 330 P4, 350 Can-Am and 512 S. The bold choice of a ‘Targa’ body with a removable hard top was also inspired by the sports prototype world: consequently, the Daytona SP3 not only delivers exhilarating driving pleasure but also usable performance.

From a technical perspective, the Daytona SP3 takes its inspiration from the sophisticated engineering solutions already adopted in racing the 1960s: today as back then, maximum performance was achieved by working on the aforementioned three fundamental areas.

The Daytona SP3 sports a naturally-aspirated V12, mid-rear-mounted in typical racing car style. Undisputedly the most iconic of all Maranello’s engines, this power unit delivers 840 cv – making it the most powerful engine ever built by Ferrari – along with 697 Nm of torque and maximum revs of 9500 rpm.

The chassis is built entirely from composite materials using Formula 1 technologies that have not been seen in a road car since the LaFerrari, Maranello’s last supercar. The seat is an integral part of the chassis to reduce weight and guarantee the driver a driving position similar to that of a competition car.

Lastly, just like the cars that inspired it, the aerodynamic research and design focused on achieving maximum efficiency purely using passive aero solutions. Thanks to unprecedented features, such as chimneys that extract low-pressure air from the underbody, the Daytona SP3 is the most aerodynamically efficient car ever built by Ferrari without resorting to active aero devices. Because of the clever integration of these technical innovations, the car can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in 2.85s and from zero to 200km/h in just 7.4s: exhilarating performance, an extreme set-up, and the intoxicating V12 soundtrack deliver completely unparalleled driving pleasure.

Styling

Although inspired by the stylistic language of 1960s racing cars, the Daytona SP3 is clothed in very undeniably original, modern forms. Its sculptural power celebrates and interprets the sensual volumes of sports prototypes to wholly contemporary effect. It goes without saying that a design this ambitious demanded a meticulously planned and executed strategy from Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni and his Styling Centre team.

Exterior

From the wraparound windscreen back, the Daytona SP3’s cabin looks like a dome set into a sensual sculpture with sinuous wings emerging boldly either side. The car’s overall balance is underscored by monolithic volumes that are a powerful articulation of the long-appreciated skills of Italian coachbuilding at its finest. The fluidity of its masses melds effortlessly with sharper surfaces, to produce the sense of effortless aesthetic balance that has long been a signature of Maranello’s design history.

The clean double-crested front wings are a nod to the sculptural elegance of past Ferrari sports prototypes of the likes of the 512 S, 712 Can-Am and 312 P. The shape of the wheelarches efficiently connotes the geometry of the flanks. At the front, they are structural and create a powerful link between wheel and well by not completely following the circular profile of the tire. The rear flank swells out from the sylph-like waist giving rise to a powerful rear muscle that wraps around the front of the wheels, then tapers back towards the tail, lending a powerful dynamism to the three-quarter view.

Another key element is the butterfly doors, which have an air box integrated into them to channel air to the side-mounted radiators; the resulting sculptural forms give the doors a pronounced shoulder housing the air intake that is visually linked to the vertical cut of the windscreen. The pronounced surface of the doors, whose leading edge forms the rear of the front wheelarch, also helps to manage the airflow emerging from the front wheels. This surface treatment also closely recalls that of cars such as the 512 S which partly inspired the Daytona SP3’s stylistic code.

The wing mirrors have been moved ahead of the doors to the top of the wings, recalling again the sports prototypes of the 1960s. The position was chosen to provide better visibility and reduce the impact of the wing mirrors on the air flow to the door intakes. The shape of the mirror’s cover and the stem were perfected via dedicated CFD simulations to ensure an uninterrupted flow to the intakes.

The front of the Daytona SP3 is dominated by two imposing wings that feature outer and inner crests: the latter dive into two air vents on the bonnet, making the wings look wider. The relationship between the perceived mass created by the outer crest and the aerodynamic role of the inner one underscores the way in which styling and technology are inextricably linked in this car. The front bumper has a generous central grille framed by two pillars and a series of stacked horizontal blades framed by the outer edge of the bumper. The headlight assemblies are characterized by an upper mobile panel that recalls the pop-up headlights of early supercars, a theme dear to Ferrari tradition that lends the car an aggressive, minimalist look. Two bumperettes, a reference to the aeroflicks featured on the 330 P4 and other sports prototypes, emerge from the outer edge of the headlights, adding a further expressiveness to the front of the car.

The rear bodywork highlights the powerful appearance of the wing by the repetition of the twin-crest theme and the aerodynamic vent that boosts its three-dimensional volume. The compact, tapered cockpit combines with the wings to create a powerful tail with a central backbone element inspired by the 330 P4. The naturally-aspirated V12, the living beating heart of the new Ferrari Icona, is revealed in all its glory at the end of this backbone.

A series of horizontal blades complete the rear, creating the impression of a light, radical, structured monolithic volume that lends the Daytona SP3 a look that is both futuristic and a nod to signatures from Ferrari’s DNA. The taillight assemblies are made up of a horizontal luminous bar beneath the spoiler and integrated into the first line of blades. The twin tailpipes are positioned centrally in the upper part of the diffuser, adding to its aggressive character and completing a design that visually broadens the car.

Powertrain 

To give the Daytona SP3 the most exhilarating V12 on the market, Ferrari chose the 812 Competizione’s engine as its starting point, but relocated it to the mid-rear position to optimise the intake and exhaust layout as well as fluid-dynamic efficiency. The result is that the F140HC engine is the most powerful internal combustion engine ever built by Ferrari and deliver a massive 840 cv with the typical exhilarating power and sound of a Prancing Horse V12.

The engine has a 65° vee between its cylinder banks and retains the 6.5-litre capacity of its predecessor, the F140HB, sported by the 812 Competizione from which it inherits its upgrades. All the developments enhance the performance of a powertrain that sets the new benchmark for its category thanks to its astonishing soundtrack – obtained through targeted work on both the intake and exhaust lines – and the 7-speed gearbox, which is now even faster and more satisfying than ever thanks to the development of specific strategies.

Maximum revs of 9,500 rpm and a torque curve that rises rapidly all the way up to maximum revs gives occupants the feeling of boundless power and acceleration. Particular attention was lavished on reducing the engine’s weight and inertia by adopting titanium con rods, which are 40% lighter than steel, and the use of a different material for the pistons. The new piston pins have a Diamond Like Carbon treatment (DLC), which reduces the coefficient of friction to improve performance and fuel consumption. The crankshaft has been rebalanced and is now also now 3% lighter.

Aerodynamics

The objective with the Daytona SP3 was to introduce aerodynamic solutions that would make this the Ferrari with the highest level of passive aero efficiency ever. This required painstaking attention to detail when designing the radiating masses for efficient heat dissipation. Management of hot air flows was thus vital to defining a layout that was as integrated as possible with the overall aerodynamic concept.

The increase in the F140HC’s engine power output meant a corresponding increase in the thermal power that had to be dissipated and thus an increase in the radiating masses for the coolant. To allow for the aerodynamics solutions required for the front end meant concentrating development on cooling efficiency first and foremost. Thus detailed work went into the design of the fan housing, the opening on the underbody to evacuate hot air and the intake duct which were all optimised to avoid having to increase the size of the front radiators.
