Owning a supercar must be all fun and games until you have to drive through a city, and this Ferrari Daytona SP3 has found out the hard way that the London traffic jams can be nightmarish.
Seldom do you see supercars lining the streets of busy cities.
But every now and again, the multi-million dollar brands crop up for events, attracting many cameras looking to take advantage of the view.
So when this LaFerrari Aperta and its fellow Ferrari Daytona SP3 turned up on the cobbles of London, it was clear to see why they usually steer clear.

Ferrari Daytona SP3 spotted with damages in London, UK
It’s not every day that you see the UK’s famed cobbled streets get blessed by supercars. But more of these luxury vehicles keep popping up in major cities throughout the country.
That’s mostly thanks to celebs like Gordon Ramsay, recently, who is on a hot streak of rolling through London in his lavish Aston Martin Valour or turning up to different venues in his $3 million Valiant.
Now though, London’s back alleys have played host to a duo of supercars, as one TikTok account (92.LDM) has snapped a Ferrari Daytona SP3 and a LaFerrari Aperta parked up on the cobbles.
While these supercars appeared to be ducks out of water in this alleyway, close-ups of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 suggest that they might have chosen a quiet parking spot by design.
The TikTok revealed that the Daytona had been damaged.
The $4 million supercar had clear scuffs and scratches on its front end. This particular paint job is a Rosso Libano hue, but the images clearly show repair job is needed.
The cracked front bumper and splitter and the hole in the carbon fiber panel look to be the most expensive damages, while the paint scratched off the nose will also be a dagger through its owner’s heart.
It’s not clear whether the damage was caused by driving through London, but the car is believed to be native to the UK having been showcased at the Heveningham Concours in 2023 (without damages).
Maybe this could be the driver’s opportunity to ditch the iconic Ferrari red with a new wrap. If Enzo Ferrari himself can snub the red with his Daytona, they could follow the white trend.
It might be worth this Ferrari taking a trip to London’s exclusive underground supercar parking lot for safekeeping.
