INTERIOR
Even the Daytona SP3 ’ s cockpit takes its inspiration from historic Ferraris such as the 330 P3 / 4 , the 312 P and the 350 Can-Am . Starting with an idea of a high-performance chassis , the designers crafted a meticulously refined space that delivers the comfort and sophistication of a modern Grand Tourer whilst keeping the styling language quite minimalist . It retains the philosophy behind certain styling codes : the dash , for instance , is minimalist and functional yet also entirely contemporary in feel . The typical upholstered cushions that were directly attached to the chassis on sports prototypes have been transformed into modern seats integrated into the body , creating a seamless textural continuity with the surrounding trim .
Several exterior elements , including the windscreen , positively influenced the interior architecture . Seen from the side , the cut of the windscreen header rail creates a vertical plane that divides the cockpit in two , separating the functional area of the dashboard that hosts the instrumentation from the seating . This architecture neatly executes the difficult feat of being both extremely sporty and very elegant at the same time .
The Daytona SP3 ’ s interior aims to guarantee both driver and passenger a snug driving environment by drawing on styling cues typical of competition cars . The main idea was to broaden the cabin visually by creating a clear break between the dash area and the two seats . The latter , in fact , are part of a seamless textural continuity , their trim extending all the way to the doors , reproducing the elegant functionality typical of sports prototypes . This same extension of the trim can also be seen on the sill area when the doors are open .
The dashboard follows the same philosophy : here the Daytona SP3 ’ s structure means that the trim extends all the way to the quarterlights , hugging the entire area connecting with the windscreen . The slender , taut dashboard seems almost to float within the upholstery . Its styling theme develops on two levels : the upper trimmed shell , which has a clean , sculptural look , is separated from the lower one with a clear textural and functional dividing line . All of the Human-Machine Interface ( HMI ) touch controls are clustered below this line .
