Final victory: the Ferrari Daytona SP3

In 2019, Le Mans '66 was released, about a feud that Ford and Ferrari fought out on the racetrack. The film portrayed it as the triumph of an American underdog over arrogant Italians. It also certainly hurt Enzo Ferrari when his cars, after six consecutive victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, were defeated by the Ford GT in 1966. With the American success story, however, comes a side note.Text: Bart-Jan Brouwer

ENZO'S TRUTH

Because even though Ferrari could not really compete against the Detroit giant, in February 1967 the Italians struck back. In the premier American long-distance race, the 24 Hours of Daytona, Ferrari scored a 1-2-3. Ferrari is now celebrating that victory with the Ferrari Daytona SP3, a dead-fast tribute to the Ferrari 330 P3, which was the basis for all three cars on the podium. The SP3's styling is heavily based on this 330 P3, which many enthusiasts consider the most beautiful race car ever built. Price: about three million including taxes.

LXRY LIST 2022

The annual book LXRY List 2022 casts a glance into the distance, where new opportunities shine. Entrepreneurship with a view to a better world. For example, Rewilding Europe is committed to helping disappearing species by making space for true wild nature. And De Apostelhoeve is taking advantage of global warming by growing wine on the hills of Limburg and gaining international recognition for it. In addition to these burgeoning economies, there is also a focus on sustainable initiatives. Like Cartier's new Tank Must, a watch that runs on solar energy. And a lamp against light pollution. But the list also includes an over-the-top hotel stay at Château Versailles. Après nous, le déluge? No, but even in the new world there may be room to enjoy and experience.
