Unveiled in 2018 as the flagship of Ferrari’s new Icona limited-edition series, the Monza SP2 is a modern tribute to the brand’s legendary 1950s barchetta race cars. Named after Italy’s iconic Monza Circuit, the “Temple of Speed,” it embodies Ferrari’s racing soul, blending heritage with cutting-edge performance.
Born from Ferrari’s desire to reimagine classic racing icons, the SP2 draws inspiration from the 166 MM, 750 Monza, and 250 Testarossa—cars that dominated motorsport in the post-war era. It features a radical, windshield-less carbon-fiber speedster design with scissor doors and a dual-hump cockpit, echoing the raw, unfiltered spirit of vintage racers. To replace a traditional windscreen, Ferrari engineered a Virtual Wind Shield, an aerodynamic system that channels airflow to create a protective “air bubble” around occupants, preserving comfort at blistering speedsFerrari.
At its heart lies a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 engine derived from the 812 Superfast, tuned to deliver 810 hp at 8,500 rpm and 530 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse propels the SP2 from 0–60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and to a top speed exceeding 186 mph, making it one of Ferrari’s most potent road-legal machines. Every element—from its lightweight carbon construction to its race-inspired seating—prioritizes performance, delivering an immersive, visceral driving experience that feels straight from the track.
Limited to just a few hundred units, the Monza SP2 is more than a car; it’s a rolling work of art that honors Ferrari’s racing legacy while pushing performance boundaries. For purists and collectors alike, it stands as the ultimate expression of Ferrari’s undefeated track spirit—raw, beautiful, and utterly unforgettablecdn.ferrari.com.
