Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2: Limited Edition Icona Cars
The Ferrari Monza SP is a limited edition Icona car, introduced in 2018 and inspired by the 1950s Ferrari racing barchettas. In this article, we look at the differences between the SP1 and SP2, their technology, and what collectors need to know.
Monza SP in brief
The Monza SP was the first Ferrari Icona series car — models that recall famous Ferraris of the past. They lack a windshield and roof, and the body is particularly lightweight and aerodynamic.
These cars were produced in very limited numbers and are essentially for collectors. This isn't a daily driver but a rare and expensive collectible.
SP1 vs SP2 — what's the difference?
The SP1 is a single-seater — the driver sits alone, with the seat tailored just for them. It's the purest driving experience on offer.
The SP2 is a two-seater with an additional seat for a passenger. Both models share the same technical base, but the SP2 is more practical for those who want to travel with company.
Engine and transmission
Both models feature a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, producing around 810 hp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
This is likely one of the most powerful naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 engines. The technology is based on the same engine foundation as other flagship models of the time.
What to know before buying
Due to their extremely limited production, these cars are rarely sold, usually through specialist dealers or auctions. It's crucial to verify the provenance, documents, and ensure the car is genuinely registered in the Ferrari system.
As the Monza SP lacks a windscreen, it's important to understand how the car is registered and used according to local regulations. Maintenance should be entrusted to an official Ferrari service.
Before buying, consult with a Ferrari representative or an independent expert for a history and condition check.
