Novitec Turns Ferrari Daytona SP3 Up to 856bhp

The Ferrari Daytona SP3 has always been a pretty dramatic car. But a German tuning company called Novitec decided it could be even wilder.

The SP3 is Ferrari’s Icona series car, costing around £2 million. It’s like a thank you to those old Ferrari race cars from the ’60s.

It already has a crazy powerful 6.5-liter V12 engine with 828 horsepower. You’d think that’s enough, right? Novitec didn’t think so.

They tweaked things to get it up to 856 horsepower. They did this mainly by making a new, better exhaust system that lets the engine breathe easier.

That extra 28 horsepower might not seem like a crazy big deal, but Novitec says the car reacts faster when you hit the gas. It feels even more intense when you’re really pushing it.

Since the regular car is already crazy fast, intense is probably an understatement. You can even get the exhaust system with valves that you control.

They lets you switch between a super loud V12 sound and something quieter when you need to. And if you want to show off, you can get the exhaust plated in gold!

The car looks pretty much the same. The carbon-fiber body is still here, but it has new Vossen wheels. They’re 20-inch in the front and 21-inch in the back.

These change the way the car looks a little bit, but it still keeps the original style and vibe.

If you want, Novitec will also redo the inside of your car with special leather and Alcantara.

Because if you are one of the lucky people who got their hands on this rare Ferrari, you probably don’t want to blend in with the crowd.
