Ferrari Daytona SP3: which version to buy
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 has one generation and one catalogue version: 6.5 DCT. Production of that generation starts on 2021-11-01 and has no end date in the data. Body type is Targa. If the buying question is “which Daytona SP3,” the answer is 6.5 DCT — not because it wins a line-up, but because the line-up is a single row.
Ferrari Daytona SP3: which version to buy
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 has one generation and one catalogue version: 6.5 DCT. Production of that generation starts on 2021-11-01 and has no end date in the data. Body type is Targa. If the buying question is “which Daytona SP3,” the answer is 6.5 DCT — not because it wins a line-up, but because the line-up is a single row. The rest of this page is what those numbers actually buy: how much power per litre, how much mass per horsepower, what the gearbox and drive do, and which figures are not measured.
Daytona SP3 generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation (from 2021-11-01, still listed with `stop` empty) is the only generation. It has 1 body type — Targa — and 1 version — 6.5 DCT. There is no restyling generation in the data and no second generation to trade against. A “which generation” choice does not exist here: you are not choosing between a facelift and a first shape, and you are not choosing between an early and a late engine. You are choosing whether 6.5 DCT in 1 generation Targa form matches the numbers you need.
Because there is only one generation, nothing in the table below is a generation-to-generation delta. Power, torque, mass, and acceleration are properties of 6.5 DCT itself, not of a later update.
Daytona SP3 specs: the only version, named as in the database
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement, cc | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.5 DCT | 840 | 697 | 6496 | Gasoline | 12 | V-shaped | No | Robotic | RWD |
Read that row as a buying filter, not as a brochure. 6.5 DCT is Gasoline, 12 cylinders, V-shaped, boost No, Robotic with 7 gears, RWD. Engine placement in the data is Central. Fuel specified is 98. Compression ratio is 13.6. Bore × stroke is 94 × 78. Valves per cylinder: 4. Peak 840 hp (617 kW) is at 9250 rpm; peak 697 Nm is at 7250 rpm.
There is no second name in the catalogue. You do not split two “6.5 DCT” rows by horsepower, because there is only one 6.5 DCT and it is 840 hp.
Power per litre, weight per horsepower: what 6.5 DCT actually buys
These ratios use only the given numbers.
- Displacement 6496 cc is 6.496 litres. 840 / 6.496 ≈ 129.3 hp per litre. 617 / 6.496 ≈ 95.0 kW per litre. 697 / 6.496 ≈ 107.3 Nm per litre.
- Kerb weight 1485 kg against 840 hp is 1485 / 840 ≈ 1.77 kg per hp, or 840 / 1.485 ≈ 566 hp per tonne.
- Torque peak at 7250 rpm sits 2000 rpm below the power peak at 9250 rpm. The engine is specified to make its 697 Nm well before it makes its 840 hp; both peaks are high in the rev range.
- Boost is No. The 129.3 hp/l figure is therefore the naturally aspirated specific output of this 6.5 DCT row, not a boosted one.
- Drive is RWD only. There is no AWD row to pay extra for, and no FWD row to avoid.
If you wanted more cylinders, a different layout, a different gearbox type, or a different drive, this catalogue does not offer them on Daytona SP3. 6.5 DCT is Central, 12, V-shaped, Robotic, 7 gears, RWD.
Daytona SP3 performance, mpg, and 0-100: measured vs not measured
For 6.5 DCT:
- 0-100: 2.85 s
- Top speed: 340
- City fuel consumption: not measured
- Highway fuel consumption: not measured
- Combined fuel consumption (mpg): not measured
- CO2: not measured
- Eco class: not measured
A buying comparison on economy is not possible from this dataset. You cannot rank 6.5 DCT against a “thirstier” or “frugal” sister because there is no second version and no consumption figure. What you can rank is acceleration and speed against the mass and power already listed: 2.85 s to 100 with 1485 kg and 840 hp, and a listed maximum of 340. Tank size is 86 (see dimensions); without a consumption figure, range is not measured.
Do not treat a blank mpg cell as “this car has no fuel use.” The parameter exists in the catalogue and is not measured.
Daytona SP3 dimensions, weight, wheels, and chassis numbers that affect the buy
| Item | 6.5 DCT |
|---|---|
| Kerb weight | 1485 |
| Gross weight | not measured |
| Ground clearance | not measured |
| Fuel tank | 86 |
| Wheels | 265/30 R20 (front listed first), 345/30 R21 |
Gross mass is not measured, so payload is not measured. Ground clearance is not measured, so a “will it clear X” decision has no millimetre from this table.
Wheel stagger is large: rear 345/30 R21 versus front 265/30 R20. Width difference is 345 − 265 = 80. Diameter difference is 21 − 20 = 1 inch, rear larger. That is the only tyre choice in the data; there is no winter pack, no smaller-wheel version, and no second modification with different sizes.
Suspension, both axles: Independent, spring. Brakes: front Ventilated disc; rear Disc ventilated (label as in the data). None of these fields differ across versions, because there are no other versions.
Which version to choose
Choose 6.5 DCT — it is the only Daytona SP3 version in the data.
What that choice is, in numbers:
1. You are buying one generation. 1 generation, Targa, from 2021-11-01, no stop date. There is no later generation with more hp, less mass, or a different gearbox to wait for in this catalogue. 2. You are buying 840 hp in 6496 cc with boost No. Specific output is about 129.3 hp/l. If the requirement was a smaller-displacement boosted engine, this row does not meet it. 3. You are buying 1.77 kg/hp at 1485 kg kerb. If a heavier or lighter sister existed, you could compare; it does not. Gross weight remains not measured. 4. You are buying Robotic, 7 gears, RWD. Not a different gear count, not another drive layout. 5. You are buying 2.85 s to 100 and 340 top speed. Fuel use, CO2, and eco class are not measured — they cannot be part of the yes/no. 6. You are buying 86 tank, 265/30 R20 and 345/30 R21, Independent, spring at both ends, Ventilated disc / Disc ventilated brakes. Clearance not measured.
There is no “extra money for extra gears,” no “pay for AWD,” and no “take the 840 hp 6.5 DCT instead of a weaker 6.5 DCT.” Same name, same power: one row.
Reliability and problems: not in this dataset. Do not infer failure rates from hp, rpm, or compression. 9250 rpm, 13.6 compression, and 98 fuel are specification, not a fault list.
If the Daytona SP3 must be Gasoline, Targa, Central 12 V-shaped, no boost, Robotic 7-speed RWD, 840 hp / 697 Nm, 2.85 s, 340 top speed, and 1485 kg, 6.5 DCT is the match. If any of those must be different, this model’s catalogue has no other version to switch to.
