The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are limited production sports cars produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari, introduced in 2018 for the 2019 model year. The cars mark the start of a new lineage of models called the "Icona" series, a program aimed at creating special cars inspired by classic Ferrari models, all to be produced in limited series. The first cars of the new lineage are the Monza SP1 and SP2, whose designs are inspired by the 750 Monza, 250 Testarossa and 166 MM.[1][2] The SP1 is a single seater, while the SP2 features two seats. Fewer than 500 are expected to be produced.[3]

Specifications

Engine

Both the SP1 and SP2 are powered by a variant of the naturally aspirated 6,496 cc (6.5 L; 396.4 cu in) F140 GA V12 found in the 812 Superfast. The engine has been tuned to generate 7.4 kW (10 hp; 10 PS) more than the engine in the 812, for a total of 603 kW (809 hp; 820 PS) at 8,500 rpm and 530 lbf⋅ft (719 N⋅m) of torque at 7,000 rpm, making it one of the most powerful Ferrari V12 road cars ever produced.[4]

Chassis

The chassis is loosely based on the 812 and both the SP1 and SP2 cars feature carbon fibre composite bodywork. The SP1 weighs 1,500 kg (3,306 lb), while the two-seat SP2 is 20 kg (45 lb) heavier at 1,520 kg (3,351 lb).[5] The strength of the composite bodywork allows for the inclusion of a large clamshell hood.

Performance

Interior

Manufacturer claimed performance figures for both of the cars include a 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) acceleration time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 299 km/h (186 mph).[6]

Design

Ferrari Monza SP2
Interior

The SP1 and SP2 feature low slung, carbon fibre speedster bodywork inspired by early, post-war Ferrari race cars such as the 166 MM, as well as the 250 Testarossa and 750 Monza.[7] The SP1 is a single-seater, with the passenger compartment situated to one side of the car, while the SP2 has two seats separated by a center section. Both of the cars feature small scissor doors and don't have windshields, instead relying on a patented system Ferrari calls the "Virtual Windshield", which is supposed to deviate airflow away from the driver.
