The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 unveiled

The limited edition Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 special-series cars are the first in a new segment called 'Icone' and draw inspiration from the most evocative Ferraris of the 1950s and feature the most advanced sports car technology available today. 

Aimed at dedicated clients and collectors, the Monza SP1 and SP2 reference the iconic Ferrari racing barchettas of the past, not least the 1948 166 MM, which originally inspired the name 'barchetta', and the 750 Monza and 860 Monza.

Designed with the sole aim of winning, these uncompromising models helped build the Ferrari legend in the 1950s by delivering a slew of victories in the World Sports Car Championship. 

The Ferrari Monza SP1 was designed as an uncompromising single-seat road car that offers a truly unique experience behind the wheel. The second configuration, the Monza SP2, thanks to the elimination of the tonneau cover and the addition of a second protective screen and a second roll bar, is instead a two-seater enabling the passenger to share the same driving sensations. 

The Monza SP1 and SP2 feature unique designs, the best weight-to-power ratio of any barchetta, thanks to the extensive use of carbon fibre in construction, and distinctive details, such as head lights and taillights, wheels and interior, which further enhance the cars' exclusivity. Equipped with the most powerful V12 engine Maranello has ever built, they can sprint from 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds and 0-200km/h in 7.9 seconds.

The architecture of the two cars is based on a monolithic form with an aerodynamic wing profile where the complete absence of a roof and windscreen gave the designers the freedom to create unique proportions that would not have been possible on a traditional spider. 

Because these are authentic en plein air sports cars, one of the greatest challenges in their design was managing the aerodynamic flows inside the cockpit in the absence of a windscreen. The solution was the innovative patented 'Virtual Wind Shield', which deviates a part of the air flow to maintain driving comfort. 

Especially for Monza SP1 and SP2 owners, Ferrari, in collaboration with two leading luxury brands, Loro Piana and Berluti, has created elegant gentlemen driver-inspired apparel and accessories. The driver's selection includes racing overalls, jersey, helmet, gloves, scarf and driving shoes. These feature a number of technical solutions to guarantee a comfortable fit and ensure freedom of movement while driving.
