Especially, the ‘virtual windscreen’ prevents everything from tiny stones to midges. Also, the SP1 and SP2 are injected with the most road-going Ferrari engines ever. Both the speed monsters are manufactured in the ‘Barchetta’ style, designed by Ferrari in the late 1950s.
Nevertheless, the old version of Monza Barchettas and the new variants have sheer differences. While the compact running cars of the past, mostly featured small, were installed with inline-four engines, the fresh duo of road-going Monza features a 6.5-litre V12 engine.
Moreover, the Monza’s are expected to conquer the speed of 100 kmph in merely 2.9 seconds and can defeat the 200 kmph mark in 7.9 seconds.
On the other hand, Ferrari claims that both the Ferrari genesis SP1 and SP2 will run more than 300 kmph.
