Introducing the first entrant in Ferrari’s exclusive ‘Icona’ collection, the Ferrari Monza SP1, this remarkable vehicle is a tribute to the classic racing roadsters of the late 1940s to early 1950s. Boasting a solitary-seat configuration, the car distinguishes itself by forgoing a traditional windscreen.
The vehicle introduces a novel aerodynamic feature termed “Virtual Wind Shield,” which channels airflow seamlessly across the dashboard to forge a cushioning air envelope for the driver. A striking sculptural cowl flanks the driver’s seating area, contributing to the car’s fluid silhouette.
The backbone of the Monza SP1 is an innovative carbon fiber frame, yielding a superstructure of unparalleled stiffness. This permits the mounting of dynamic scissor-type doors and an integrated, single-piece nose section that beautifully exhibits the vehicular powerhouse: a 6.5-liter V-12 engine, reminiscent of the powerplant found in the revered 812 Superfast.
The Ferrari Monza SP1 synthesizes a state-of-the-art seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission and advanced four-wheel steering system with the proudest achievement in Ferrari’s history of naturally aspirated engines. At its heart lies an engine that pumps out an awe-inspiring 798 horsepower along with 530 pound-feet of twisting force. This behemoth of an engine propels the Monza SP1 from a standstill to 100 km/h in a mere 2.9 seconds, breaking through to a maximum speed that exceeds 299 km/h.
