In the pursuit of ultimate performance, supercar manufacturers have in more recent years seen fit to bestow their creations with increasingly complex and intricate aerodynamic devices. Arguably, this has come at the expense of classic beauty and elegance—not something that can be said of the stunning Ferrari Monza. Revealed in October 2018, this open-top showstopper was the first model devised under the marque’s new “Icona” series.

The Maranello designers had delivered a clear throwback to the pure barchetta race cars of the 1950s, such as the Mille Miglia- and 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning 166 MM, 750, and 860 Monza. But beneath the flowing lines of the single-seater SP1 and two-person SP2 sat the underpinnings of Ferrari’s latest grand tourer. A sonorous 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V-12 engine lifted from the 812 Superfast gained revised inlet ducts and a remapped ECU to produce some 810 PS. Sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, a 305 km/h top speed was achievable. Between both SP1 and SP2 variants, only 499 cars were produced for Ferrari’s most prized clients.

This example, chassis 244381, is predominantly finished in the attractive shade of Titanium Grey. Meanwhile, the livery design running over the rear fin and bonnet is Giallo Modena. Personalised exterior flourishes include the airbrushed Scuderia shields and yellow brake callipers while components such as the engine cover, wheel arches, rear diffuser, front air vents, and under-door covers are completed in carbon fibre. As for the interior, a large-size GT2 monocoque racing seat trimmed in Cioccolato leather is equipped with a four-point harness. A Testa di Moro hue was selected for the famous Cavallino logo stitched into the headrest and yellow chosen for the tachometer. Optional extras include the installation of a suspension lifter in addition to front and rear parking cameras. A carbon fibre finish for the luggage compartment completes this car’s impressive specification.

The SP1 was initially registered on 28 July 2022 by its one and only owner, who is based in Nürtingen, to the south of Stuttgart. Used sparingly since, the odometer displays just 1,903 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Issued with its most recent TÜV certificate in July of this year, the car is complemented by a suite of accessories, including a Berluti carbon fibre helmet and accompanying leather carry case, plongé leather driving gloves by Loro Piana, goggles, display models, plus Ferrari folio.

Rare, beautiful, sophisticatedly specified, and housing a howling V-12, this exquisite Monza SP1 will be welcomed at a vast array of concours events for the rest of its life and, therefore, is sure to appeal to all Ferrari aficionados.
