Lego worked directly with Ferrari to ensure its 3778-piece Daytona SP3 set mirrored the car upon which it's based.
You assemble the Lego set in a similar schedule that Ferrari builds the Daytona. First, the V-12 engine, eight-speed gearbox, and rear suspension, then you move on to the front suspension and steering. You finish up with the red body panels that give the model the organic flow of the real car, which takes its design cues from the sumptuous lines of the Ferraris that won the 1967 Daytona 24-hour race.
“Technic is known for strong models that do not fall apart easily,” Rouffiange said. “But here the roof can be removed, and usually [the roof] helps us add a lot of stability. But the way this model is assembled, you can hold the car with one hand, from the front or rear, and it will not bend at all.”Lego ultimately created 12 new parts during the development of the Daytona SP3 Technic kit.
Even a part as simple as the wheels proved a challenge, as the real Daytona SP3's wheels are asymmetrical in order to better manage airflow. Due to this, Lego had to design two versions of the same wheels to ensure its model kept true to the real car.Like the real Daytona SP3, the Technic car features paddle shifters mounted aft of its steering wheel. Though such a shifting mechanism may be common across the automotive industry, it's less so among Lego models.
Tapping the paddles works through the model's eight gears, and like a real car, each cog affects the top speed of Lego's Ferrari Daytona SP3. You can even see the mechanical motions at work, from the spinning of the model's plastic gears to the up and down motions of its mid-mounted engine's pistons.
Such authenticity doesn't come cheap, and the Lego Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3 stickers for $400. The set is currently available through Lego's website or at its stores, with retail sales set to begin on August 1.This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.

Used Ferrari Enzo - Signed By Michael Schumacher And Ferrari F1 Team for saleOne of just thirty-one U.K. allocated cars, this Ferrari Enzo was ordered new via Maranello Sales of Egham, Surrey and collected from the Ferrari Factory in 2004. Its original owner, a well-known Ferrari collector and enthusiast had a very close relationship with Ferrari and became personal friends with many of the directors and members of the Factory and F1 team. Proving himself a loyal customer and being a close friend and associate of Ferrari, the original owner requested a unique interior specification that featured ‘Enzo Ferrari’ stitched into the seat backrests and a diamond quilted rear panel inspired by the 250 GTO. To further compliment the Enzo’s special-order interior, the owner also requested that the 2004 Ferrari F1 team signed the reverse of the car’s bonnet. These signatures include Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Di Montezemolo, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and Nigel Stepney. Present with the car are all original books, tool kit, luggage, factory collection photos and a comprehensively documented history file dating back to 2004. Accompanying this car is its original luggage, leather book pack, service hand book, manuals, torch and both original keys. This Ferrari Enzo is a fully matching numbers and accident-free example with traceable history from new. The car has recently been scrupulously inspected within our workshops with no-expense-spared preparation for its next custodian. Accompanied by the signed bonnet and special-order interior, this poses a timely opportunity to purchase one of Ferraris most definitive, collectible, limited production cars to date, along with some very desirable and unique features.
