Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has quite a collection of exotic cars. While the Brit sure does like his Aston Martins, he hasn’t shied away from the latest and greatest from fan-favorite Ferrari either. The latest addition to his garage is the Ferrari Daytona SP3, one of 599 made in the limited-edition Icona series. The Daytona SP3 is a $4 million tribute to Ferrari’s racing legacy, including the 330 P3, 330 P4 and Testarossa.
As you may imagine, getting your hands on one isn’t as simple as cutting a very large check. With each of these supercars only offered to Ferrari’s most valued customers, you can be sure Gordon Ramsay features high on the list of Ferrari clientele.
The chef was spotted pulling up to a London restaurant in his pearlescent white, or Bianco Cervino in Ferrari parlance, Daytona SP3. Featuring gray detailing, racing number roundels, hand-painted Cavallino prancing horses, and a carbon fiber roof, Gordon Ramsay’s Ferrari sure makes for a sight for sore eyes amongst London traffic.
Contrary to his TV persona, Gordon Ramsay loves to show off his lighter side, pretending not to know how to switch off the Daytona SP3’s 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12. It’s gag after gag really, followed by one where he acts like he doesn’t know how to open the supercar’s scissor doors. We get a peek of the interiors finished in Blu Alcantara, making for quite a pretty spec.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 has found favor with other celebrities and car collectors for its special appeal in Maranello’s lineup. It was only a matter of time till a collector and enthusiast with as fine taste as Gordon Ramsay got his hands on one.
