2018 FERRARI SP1 6.5L V12 7AT RWD (810 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 2018 Ferrari Monza SP1 was designed for the driver who doesn’t want to take any passenger along the road. The one-seater vehicle was built mostly for collectors.

The car was inspired by the 1955 Ferrari 750 with one seat and track-days in mind. But the SP1 was legal to drive on the public roads. It was accompanied by the SP2 model, a vehicle that offered a passenger seat, so the driver could enjoy a companion.

The low profile of the vehicle showed no room for a windscreen, while the big hump behind the driver hid the roll-over protection bar. With a seat designed and tailored to the exact driver dimensions, the Monza SP1 was built for those who would enjoy a track-day as much as the road to there. A radical choice was made for the design of the cars’ compact doors which open upwards. Equally important is the all-carbon-fiber one-piece hood-wing assembly which was hinged at the front to showcase the V12 engine once opened.

The “Virtual Wind Shield” deviated a part of the airflow to maintain driving comfort. But still, the driver had to wear a helmet. The dashboard consisted of one, big, a tachometer, and two screens on its sides. The whole commands and controls for headlights, turn signals, and on-board computer were placed on the steering wheel.

The light, barchetta configuration ensured a high-performance dynamic and uncompromising sports car handling.
