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.
This is my first and last Technic set. Maybe my expectation was too high because of the marketing! The body of the car looks like a cheap, muted red color that does not make you think of Ferrari at all. As for the building experience, it was quite boring for me as I found myself connecting tiny pipes/connectors for hours while not really knowing what I was building. It would have been more fun if the instruction booklet gives a non-technical person like me some idea on what I was building to make the build experience more interesting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear your building experience with the Ferrari Daytona SP3 set was disappointing. We’re passionate about making every LEGO® toy imaginative, creative and most of all, fun. Your feedback will help us make our sets even better in the future.
I have had rather mixed emotions about this build. For one it’s beautiful the doors are incredible. I enjoyed the build. But a couple problems. First after the build the manual was incomplete on 2 pieces. Second it’s very fragile. Third I hate how some pieces are not smoothly aligned and for a Lego perfectionist it’s disappointing. The front end is also lacking when compared to the true model. When compared to my Bugatti that build was sold work of art. One major positive no stickers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always, I had a great time building this one. The finished product was everything I thought it’d be. This one was a little different than the Lambo and Bugatti in that there were much more standard Lego parts used to build the fins in the back and front. The new shocks are great and much sturdier than the ones previously used. I wonder if the shocks in the Lambo and Bugatti will eventually bottom out as the cars get old.
I’ll nitpick and say as others mentioned, this car has noticeable sag in the middle and also, there’s really no good place to grab it, if you want to pick it up. I’d also ask Lego to consider putting the serial number part in the first bag. I’m a little OCD I suppose and only open up the bags in order as I build so I never get to access the owners content until after the car is built.
Even though I’ve only been done with the build for 24 hours, I’m already looking forward to the next super car. Nice job Lego.

We’re glad to see you liked the Ferrari Daytona SP3 set and love hearing how much you enjoyed building it. Looks like we could’ve done more to turn it from awesome to super awesome! Thanks for letting us know what would make your LEGO® experience even better.
The instructions are incorrect in a number of places and the build quality is lower than the other kits. For example the quality of the connector parts is very low and they require a lot of manipulation to get to go in the holes without breaking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback about the issues you're having with the Ferrari Daytona SP3 set. Our team is aware of the building instruction error and working to get the online instructions updated to be correct. In regards to the connector pieces, if you feel you have incorrect parts please get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can take a closer look!
Fun build that is not repetitive. For the cost I would have expected no errors in the book. Also would have liked a deeper red similar to the real car. Also the gaps above the Ferrari logo on the doors bugs me. Would expect those to be closed up
