Ferrari World Abu Dhabi appointed Evolution Scenic to design and fabricate a scaled-down, cartoon-inspired replica of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 for a live theme park performance.

The objective was to capture the unmistakable character of Ferrari's flagship supercar while introducing a playful, theatrical interpretation suitable for live entertainment. The vehicle needed to accommodate three performers, operate safely within a confined stage environment and deliver reliable performance throughout the production.

The Challenge

Recreating one of Ferrari's most recognisable vehicles for live entertainment required a careful balance between visual authenticity, engineering and functionality.

The replica needed to faithfully reflect the design language of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 while remaining lightweight, manoeuvrable and safe for performers. Limited stage space demanded exceptional manoeuvrability, requiring the vehicle to pivot within tight operating areas while maintaining smooth and precise movement.

The project also required a durable finish capable of withstanding repeated performances, together with an integrated power and control system that ensured safe and reliable operation.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated a fully custom, scaled-down Ferrari Daytona SP3 replica, combining creative fabrication with specialist engineering and technical integration.

The vehicle was initially sculpted from lightweight styrofoam, allowing the design team to accurately recreate the car's distinctive bodywork while minimizing overall weight. The prototype was then reinforced using fiberglass and resin, producing a durable, high-quality finish suitable for regular live performances.

A bespoke four-wheel chassis was engineered to house high-torque drive motors, enabling the vehicle to pivot on its own axis and navigate the confined performance space with precision. Functional headlights and taillights were incorporated into the build, while the interior was designed to comfortably accommodate three costume performers.

For operation, the vehicle was controlled remotely using a long-range drone control system, providing responsive and accurate movement throughout each performance. Safety remained a priority throughout the design, with emergency stop systems installed both on the vehicle and at stage level for immediate intervention if required.

A custom EV battery system supplied power to both the drive motors and integrated lighting, delivering reliable performance while maintaining a clean, cable-free solution for the live show.
