TheFerrari Monza SP1 andSP2 are limited production sports cars produced by Italian automobile manufacturerFerrari, 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 the750 Monza,250 Testarossa and166 MM.[3][4] The SP1 and SP2 nomenclature refers to the number of seats for each model. 499 units were built[5] at a price of €1.58 million before options.
Both the SP1 and SP2 are powered by a variant of thenaturally aspirated 6,496 cc (6.5 L; 396.4 cu in)F140 GAV12 found in the812 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 596 kW (799 hp; 810 PS) at 8,500 rpm and 719 N⋅m (530 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm, making them at the time, the most powerful factory Ferrari V12 road cars ever produced until the release of the 812 Competizione and Competizione A in 2021 featuring an upgraded F140 V12 producing 820 hp (830 PS).[6][7]
The chassis is loosely based on the 812 and both the SP1 and SP2 cars featurecarbon 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).[8] The strength of the composite bodywork allows for the inclusion of a large clamshell hood.
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 that exceeds 300km/h (186mph)[9]
The SP1 and SP2 feature low slung, carbon fibrespeedster bodywork inspired by early, post-war Ferrari race cars such as the 166 MM, as well as the 250 Testarossa and 750 Monza.[10] The SP1 is a single-seater, with the driver's position situated to one side of the car, while the SP2 has two seats separated by a center section. Both of the cars feature smallscissor 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. In 2020, Ferrari Styling Centre was awarded theCompasso d’Oro industrial design award for the Monza SP1.[11] Award was received by Flavio Manzoni and Jane Reeve.[12] All the cars are painted at Carrozzeria Zanasi in Maranello.
