Introducing the Panigale V4 SP2 30th Anniversario 916, where your longing for greatness becomes a timeless reality.
Born to celebrate thirty years of the iconic Ducati 916, this special limited version is ready to carry on its unprecedented legacy.
Produced in a numbered, limited series of 500 units, this motorcycle combines SP2 specifications with an eye-catching and fascinating celebratory livery, inspired by the winner of the Superbike World Championship with Carl Fogarty in 1999. A true dive in the past with tricolor stripes, number plates with the World Champion number “1″ and red front fender.
Greater agility, less riding effort and greater tendency to close the gap when accelerating. This is just part of what you can experience in the saddle of a Panigale V4 SP 30th Anniversario 916.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 is a limited production mid-engine sports car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari, unveiled on 20 November 2021 for the 2023 model year.
The Daytona SP3 is the latest in the “Icona" series of high-performance cars being produced by Ferrari after the Ferrari Monza SP series. 599 examples will be built from 2022 and will be sold from $ 2.5 million up each.
The Daytona SP3 is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 that is shared with the 812 Superfast and marks the first return of Ferrari to naturally aspirated, mid mounted engines for limited edition cars without hybrid electric systems, since the Ferrari Enzointroduced in 2002.
The new car sticks with the twin-turbo AMG V-12 engine, which makes 852 horsepower.
It will be offered with a manual gearbox—which we hope all 99 buyers select.
“Carbo-Titanium" Structure
Lightness is assured by the relative simplicity of the powertrain but also by a core structure that doesn’t use mere carbon fiber; instead, it’s made with Carbo-Titanium, which, as it sounds, is a mixture of composite and high-strength metal patented by Pagani. The combination of a Carbo-Titanium center structure, lightweight carbon bodywork, and chrome alloy subframes means the Utopia is claimed to have a dry weight of just 2822 pounds.
The third quality of drivability brings a gloriously unlikely feature back into play: This is—as Horacio has hinted in previous interviews with Car and Driver—a hypercar with the option of a manual gearbox. Admittedly, it isn’t alone in offering a stick shift. Gordon Murray’s GMA T.50 gets one as standard, and the Koenigsegg CC850 has a shift-by-wire manual. Pagani will also offer an automated single-clutch transmission for those who want to save their left legs from exercise, or more likely to avoid the need to learn to drive stick in the first place. Pagani discounted the idea of following the herd and just offering a dual-clutch transmission on the grounds of weight and complexity.
Classy Analog Interior
The exterior is special, but the interior is definitely special-er. Horacio Pagani has previously complained about the trend for the large display screens that dominate most high-end automotive interiors. Utopia buyers will be spared the need to deal with one of those. There is a single screen between the mechanical speedometer and rev counter, but everything else is entirely analog. The cabin is built and finished to a standard that makes other hypercars seem shoddy. The steering wheel is milled from a single aluminum block, as are the individual pedals, and the exposed shifter for the seven-speed manual transmission is a design masterpiece in its own right. It would be a crime to choose the robo-box and order this car without it.
While the Pagani Zonda was named after a wind and the Pagani Huayra after a wind god, the Utopia’s title has its origins in medieval intellectual thought. “For the philosopher Thomas More in 1516, Utopia was a place that did not exist," the official press release intones, “and ever since then the name has been given to the idealized places of which we dream." Something that seems entirely justified by the finished reality.
Just 99 Utopia coupes will be produced, with these set to be built at a rate of just one a week at Pagani’s factory in San Cesario sul Panaro in Modena, Italy, with the first deliveries starting midway through next year for cars fitted with the automated manual gearbox. The manual will follow later. Pagani has also invested the time and money necessary to give the car full federal homologation in the United States—no need for any “show and display" fudges here. Marketing director Christopher Pagani confirms that the entire run has already been assigned to buyers, despite a price that’s the equivalent of $2.5 million. By the increasingly surreal standards of limited-run hypercars, that almost makes it a bargain.
The design of the Ferrari Purosangue perfectly embodies elegance and sportiness. Powered by the very noble 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, it proudly wears its 725 “Thoroughbreds”.
