Talking about high-performance sports car without glass and windscreen sounds like the high-speed, single-shell F1 cars. But, the Italian luxury car maker Ferrari has brought the single-seat, open cockpit cars out from the F1 tracks. Ferrari has introduced its limited edition of Monza supercars- the single seater SP1 and SP2.
The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are 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 Monza SP1 and SP2 are based on the 812 Superfast. A lot of carbon fiber has gone into the construction of these cars. As a result, the SP1 weighs 1500 kg, while the SP2 tips the scales at 1520 kg.
Both the SP1 and SP2 are powered by a variant of the naturally aspirated 6.5 Liter V12 found in the 812 Superfast. The engine has been tuned to generate 809 horsepower and 719 N⋅m of torque, making it one of the most powerful Ferrari V12 road cars ever produced. 0-62 mph comes up in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph comes up in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of over 186 mph.
Every Monza will be shipped with custom-fitted racing overalls, jersey, helmet, gloves, scarf and driving shoes by luxury brands like Loro Piana and Berluti.
Ferrari put a price tag of about $1.75 million on each Monza, according to Car and Driver.
