Details:
The SP1 is a single-seat, carbon fiber speedster. And thank God for that. No obnoxious passengers to pacify; and no, you can’t drive mine! The SP1 doesn’t have a windshield and instead relies on Ferrari’s patented “Virtual Windshield” which deviates airflow away from the driver. The car is inspired by early, post-war Ferrari race cars. Ferrari Styling Centre was awarded the Compasso d’Oro industrial design award for the Monza SP1 in 2020.
The engine is a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 generating 799 hp at 8,500 rpm and 530 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm.

WATCH
Demented Doug DeMuro, aka “Triple D” (that’s my nickname for him) does a good job reviewing the Monza SP1, along with taking a drive to show viewers what it’s like behind the wheel.
