Named after Ferrari's one-off 'Special Projects' division and inspired by such racing hits as the 250 Testarossa and the 750 Monza, the Monza SP1 and SP2 speedsters debuted at the brand's so-called Capital Markets Day. There, after looking at the new barchetta, investors could learn about Ferrari's plans past Sergio Marchionne, including a new mid-engined car positioned above the 488, a new V6 engine, hybrids, EVs, and Ferrari's first SUV.

The Monza SP1 and SP2 are based on the most radical GT on the market, the 812 Superfast. Wrapped in carbon fiber and carrying much less weight, logic dictates that these speedsters should offer a driving experience only the complete lack of windshields can provide. And a naturally-aspirated V12, of course.

That naturally aspirated V12 is even more powerful. In fact, with 798 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque, it's the most powerful V12 Ferrari has ever produced. Ferrari claims it'll hit 62 in 2.9 seconds and 124 in 7.9.

It's easily one of the most radical designs for a modern production car, with tiny doors that flip up and a single or two seat layout, depending on if you have a friend who likes to go places with you. It's most reminiscent of the Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, a speedster version of the big Mercedes super GT car. That derivative was never sold in the US. The Monza will be sold in the US, but Ferrari has confirmed that it'll be limited to track use only and will not be road legal.

You might notice that there's no windshield. It has something Ferrari is calling the Virtual Windshield, which works to deviate airflow around the driver. It's a cool solution to keep the minimalist styling, but you'll likely still want to at least wear eye protection when driving the car.

The Monza is part of Ferrari's new limited collection of special cars, called the Icona series. It's the first entry in the new series, but we'll likely see more and more over the coming years. We don't know the price on the Monza, but we're willing to guess it's not less expensive than an 812Superfast.
