Disappointed
As for the model, it's a beautiful car. The techniques are nice, and it's fun and addictive to build. However, for LEGO, it's a disappointment in terms of construction. I find the model very fragile. There are many loose or unstable parts. You can barely move it without something coming loose. You can build it and then just look at it. For this series of Supercars, it's definitely the worst. We have them all, and for us, the Lamborghini Sian is the best and most sturdy one, with the most features. The build experience and techniques make it a fun car to build, but it's also very fragile, so it doesn't compare to the blue VW T2 bus. It's also not comparable to the red VW T1. Or the Land Rover Defender against the Land Rover Classic. Or the F1 line, where the McLaren really doesn't compare to the RB, Mercedes, or Ferrari. It's also another case of LEGO where they've really missed the mark. Nevertheless, I remain a LEGO fan...

Ferarri Daytona SP3
I did enjoy building this, but if you do not like Technic you may want to think twice. Some excellent detail including the brakes and wheel lugs. As others have mentioned, there are issues with the instructions such as telling you to use the wring part.

Addictive
Once you start, you won't want to stop. It's great how it gradually resembles a car and how everything supports each other.

The packaging could be better.
Good price and fast delivery, but it arrived without the LEGO box and was also completely loose in a much too large and not very sturdy box, which caused some damage to the LEGO box.

Frustrating instructions
The instructions are extremely poor. There are many errors in the paper manual. The digital manual has improved this. The manual shows what the intended position is in the most visible angles. This is especially a problem with the gearbox. In step 47, the position is clearly shown. In step 48, the position is changed to a very difficult-to-see position. The top view is very unclear, and the video explained via the QR code is also unclear. Furthermore, this video cannot be displayed to fill the smartphone screen, and the large pause button makes it impossible to pause the video to see how everything should be positioned. The author could have better held the angle from step 47 in step 48.
Similarly, in step 59, the most difficult angle was chosen to see the correct positions. The video is also unclear, no full-screen option is available on the smartphone (or it doesn't work), and the top view does not clearly show the correct positions. As a result, I only realized that the gearbox was completely wrong at a much later step.
For feedback to LEGO's instruction books for Technic:
1.) Please use the most clear angle and do not turn the model to the most difficult-to-follow angle
2.) Add a video in which it is possible to test the newly built system. Just like is done with many remote-controlled sets.
I cannot recommend this set.
The gearbox plays a major role in this set. From step 253, it is finally possible to clearly see that the gearbox is incorrectly assembled. If there was a clear video to test this at step 59/60, with a working full-screen option and no large pause image when the video is paused, this could be easily avoided. Unfortunately, this leads to many errors. Unfortunately, the manual is generally so frustrating and contains so many errors (paper manual), that I cannot recommend this set. Hopefully, the expected new 1:8 super car from Technic will contain a clearer and error-free paper manual. The gearbox is not complex and brings a lot of added value. Only the instructions need significant improvement.

Could have been better
My only problem is that the packaging could have been better.

I am in love
I am not really a huge fan of technic, after building each one your thumbs either hurt from pressing those blue and black pieces in. But overall I really enjoyed building this, it honestly looks very neat and slick. It looks almost identical to the real car, while building it I have ran into some problems like missing pieces but they were in the box. Overall amazing build. If your willing to spend around 450-470. I would recommend this.

Missing part
Another great kit in the Technic range, liked the idea of the stickers already printed on the parts. Just follow the instructions carefully and you will have a great looking Ferrari. Only problem I had was there was a couple of parts missing.

It was great fun building this Ferrari. All parts were in there with no issues. Similar to a previous post I also had the same issue with the engine hood staying open while building. This completes my set of high performance cars!

Wish I got something else
Recently built the ucs falcon, Lego apocalypseberg, Dailey Bugel etc and thought I would try this kit as I am into cars. I just couldn’t get into the build found it boring and the instructions confusing. I found myself stopping as I couldn’t be bothered to do the next part till the following day. I have no idea why this was but I just didn’t enjoy this build. . In comparison when I built the 1987 batmobile I couldn’t stop and it was just an excitable build.
Once built the mobile feels flimsy and there at bits where I feel Lego just couldn’t get it right and said that will do. The holes at the top of the doors for example? They look unfinished, I’m actually thinking of adding for black pieces just to make it look alittle more finished.
For me I wouldn’t be buying another one of these kits. This is just my opinion I know people that absolute love these kits and highly recommend them.

Beautiful version of the LEGO Ferrari.
Beautiful 1:8 scale version of the Ferrari. Pay close attention when building, otherwise something will be wrong and you'll have to start over. The building instructions are very clear, but I was a little too enthusiastic (too fast).

Over priced
Whilst I love lego, I really do! This was an awesome build and probably the most challenging build I have ever done but.... It seemed without little reward. The set looks great and is a good representation of the real thing, it was a must have for a lego building ferrari fan!
My main upset with the build is the 'flimsy detail of the animate parts of the build. The boot does not stay up and the joints seem' weak' the bonnet and stay work well but it catches the rails representing the window moulding - design oversight? The doors are the biggest let down, again they look great on first inspection but they also seem super flimsy and not well designed, one side of the car closes nicely but the other doesn't, so much so I've added an extra stud just to hold them in place and keep the model 'stable'. All this said the overall aesthetic is amazing and it is a great display piece, but pound for pound it's overpriced, it'll make me think twice about spending this sort of money on a single set.

Great
The first time I bought the Lamborghini, I was a bit hesitant because it was a lot of money for "toys." But I was very entertained building it. Then, I confidently bought the Bugatti. Same story. When I looked at my display case where the cars were, I thought, "Something's missing." So, I looked at the Ferrari Daytona SP3. And, like with the previous cars, it was a pleasure to put together. Sometimes you think, "What am I doing?" and then suddenly, you just see it come together. These cars are so cleverly designed by the engineers and designers at LEGO. Think about the lines of the car, the working cylinders in the engine, the gearbox, etc. It's simply amazing! The only small downside is that the passenger door doesn't close as well as the driver's door. This is also the case after I rebuilt it three times. I've seen this happen with other people too. It's a shame for so much money.

Amazin ferrari Daytona SP3
I must admit that at first sight this product looks stunning. Red box looks beautiful and premium. This model is a well done reproduction of one of the best Ferrari out there. Elements are well packed. The model is a 1:1 replica and has a huge number of features: steering, 8-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifter and a V12 engine with moving pistons. This collectible Ferrari model features opening butterfly doors which is absolutely brilliant.
I really enjoyed building it and it took me 2 days with full focus to finish it. Amazingly relaxing and satisfying experience, I really recommend this product for every passionate collector in this space.

Nice LEGO set, recommended.
Super beautiful set. Good quality, they have learned from the previous supercars. The dampers are tight, the doors are sturdy, and there are no stickers.

Price Increased since May 2022
Purchased this set early June for 499.99 Cad at the time. Upon time of this review, the set is now 559.99 (same price as Sian). The build itself was phenomenal to build. It was very enjoyable. I did have to use the updated instructions PDF as the printed manual had some errors that were later rectified in the digital instructions. Definitely a great display and collector set, steering and engine works great, they have taken technic and have made it a nice theme for Adults and advanced builders. I wish they will release more exclusive cars and collaborate with more manufacturers. Their F1 car is a start!

Great set, Fun build!
This is the first Lego Technic set I've purchased and built since 1994 which was the Super Car 8880 set. I had a fun experience learning how to build with the new stud-less design that Lego has moved to. I enjoyed the build which I took my time and completed over a months time. I enjoy the technical aspects of these sets and have owned and built all the early Technic sets from the 80's. I really enjoy transportation models, cars, planes, helicopters, construction equipment. I made a few mistakes but I went back and found the issues. Went online and watched the reviews that pointed out mistakes in the build. Building Lego is a very Zen thing, you can forget about your troubles and get lost in the fun of building! It sure beats a jigsaw puzzle! I would like to see more cars come out in the 1/8 scale, Corvette, Mustang, etc along with more Airplanes and Helicopters! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely stunning!
This set is simply amazing! It looks so much better in person than I expected it to when I decided to pick it up, it just demands your attention when you walk past. I love that this set comes with absolutely no stickers and I hope very much that will carry over to some other lego themes because I can't stand them. Especially in sets made to be displayed. My one complaint about the set is there are a few errors in the printed manual. Fortunately these can be fixed pretty easily once you know where they are, and I even think they've made some fixes in the .pdf instructions. 9.5/10 and I think this is a must own for Lego Ferrari fans.
