Accelerate When You're Moving: A Perfect Day with the Ferrari Monza SP2

As I stepped out of my car and onto the open road, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. It was my second time driving this particular route in a convoy of Ferraris, and I was eager to see how it would compare to my previous experience. The weather was perfect, with not a cloud in the sky, and I knew that today was going to be a special day.

The first thing that struck me about the Monza SP2 was its sheer power. As I put the car into gear and accelerated down the hill, I felt the rumble of the V12 engine beneath me. It's a sound that never gets old, and one that always puts a smile on my face. The car is so controllable, so balanced, and so perfect to drive that it makes me wonder why more manufacturers don't follow Ferrari's lead when it comes to building cars.

One of the things that impressed me most about the Monza SP2 was its handling. It's a car that's designed for performance, and it shows in every corner of the road. The brakes are incredibly sharp, and the steering is so precise that I felt like I could guide the car through even the tightest turns with ease. And yet, despite all this power and precision, the car never feels overwhelming or out of control - it's a true driver's car.

As I made my way through the winding roads, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the scenery around me. The hills and valleys stretched out as far as the eye could see, with not a tree in sight to break up the view. It was like driving on top of the world, and I felt incredibly lucky to be experiencing it all.

Of course, one of the best things about driving a Ferrari is the attention that you receive when you're behind the wheel. As I pulled out onto the main road, I could see people stopping in their tracks as they took in the sight of my car. Some of them even tried to follow me, and I was more than happy to oblige. It's moments like these that remind me why I love driving a Ferrari - it's not just about the drive itself, but about the experience that comes with it.

As I made my way through the town, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to drive such an incredible car. The Monza SP2 is truly a special machine, one that combines power, precision, and style in a way that's unmatched by any other car on the road. And yet, despite its many talents, it's not just about speed and performance - it's also a car that's designed to be enjoyed, and that makes every drive an unforgettable experience.

The sun was now shining brightly overhead, casting a warm glow over the entire scene. I felt my face begin to redden as I realized that I had forgotten to apply any sunscreen - but I didn't care. This car was worth it, and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world. As I pulled back into town, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and contentment. It's been one of those days that you'll always remember, and one that will stay with me forever.

The Ferrari Monza SP2 has parked itself outside my driveway now, its sleek profile gazing out at the surrounding landscape like a statue. The buttresses sit incredibly low, giving it an air of sleekness and sophistication that's unmatched by any other car on the market. And yet, despite all this elegance, I couldn't help but feel drawn to one of the most striking features of the Monza SP2: its lack of a roof line. Gone are the days of awkwardly-fitting canopies and gull-wing doors - instead, we get a sleek, modern design that's both functional and visually stunning.

As I stood there admiring my car, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to drive it today. The Monza SP2 is truly a special machine, one that combines power, precision, and style in a way that's unmatched by any other car on the road. And yet, despite its many talents, it's not just about speed and performance - it's also a car that's designed to be enjoyed, and that makes every drive an unforgettable experience.

Looking at the Monza SP2 now, I'm reminded of some of my favorite cars in history. The SLR Sterling Moss and the McLaren Elva are both cars that share some similarities with this particular model, but there's something unique about the way that Ferrari has approached design. Maybe it's the use of carbon fiber, or maybe it's just a combination of factors - whatever it is, I know that I'll always be drawn to the sleek lines and powerful performance of this car.

But for now, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the view. The Monza SP2 may not be the most practical car in the world, but when you're driving a Ferrari, there's no need for practicality. It's all about the experience - and today, that experience was absolutely unforgettable.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys i'm smee hello and welcome back to the channel where you join me for a very early start but with good reason i'm going to get behind the wheel of powerslide lovers ferrari monza sp2 we're here in the dolomites in the mountains in italy so we're going to be heading on out to a mountain pass not only that i'm going to be joining powerslide lover in his laferraria perta and perhaps one or two others as well this is of course my first drive in the first iteration of the icona series the ferrari monza in this case the sp2 the two-seater let's have a quick look around the car we're gonna hop straight in and go out for a drive i would be lying if i said i wasn't a tiny little bit excited for what is about to happen to go out in the sp2 joining the laferrari aparter and another of powerslide lovers ferraris on a mountain pass in the italian dolomites that doesn't quite sound real but i think it's about to happen so let's have a quick look at this car the monza sp2 it is the first of ferrari's cars linking back to their heritage this new icona series of which there will be five models it can be had as both the sp2 with the dual seats or the sp1 which is literally a single seater it pays tribute to some of ferrari's legendary cars of old the 750 monster the 250 tesla rossa and you can see that with this massively elongated bonnet that houses the six and a half litre naturally aspirated v12 derived from the 812 superfast so you know this is going to sound amazing as well it is entirely rear driven 810 horsepower 780 newton meters through the seven speed dual clutch automatic gearbox but i think the most dramatic thing is going to be driving it with no roof no windshield it has the virtual windshield where airflow comes in and fires up to deflect it away from your face but basically open to the elements so rather convenient it is looking to be a beautiful day today uh let's have a quick look at this let's open up the bonnet which you do with the catches on each side there's one on each side so let me run around the back of the stunning gray and dark red car around here and this car is well driven as you've possibly seen from powerslide lovers pages it is all carbon fiber weighs 1500 kilos for sp1 1520 just 20 kilos heavier for the sp2 but this is our lump the six and a half liter naturally aspirated v12 810 horsepower a work of art is always hidden away inside the full carbon fiber clam you can see the exposed carbon on the underside i'm going to close this back down it's got the painted scooter rear shields on the side of it as well into place give it a press just to make sure it clicks come around and do the other side as well we want to drive away with that still open what else do we have is he down here look at the styling this elongated nose these almost very small headlights new design that ferrari have across some of their cars this is it's a it's a really cool thing it is a really cool thing it also has some luggage space which is unusual for a limited special series ferrari but back here you have some space we've got a car cover you've got the spec sheet as well again carbon fiber everything on this car is carbon you can put this piece inside between the rear buttresses which will do a slightly better job of being a wind stop but i'm going to close this back down and head and take a seat on board the sp2 to open the doors you have the door pulls just inside give that a pull open it up you have these very small doors that open upwards and outwards we've got the key inside which says do not go gentle well i will do my best to see what happens take a step inside the sp2 and you're sunk into well a fairly familiar ferrari interior with the steering wheel all of the controls the screens in front let's let's press the magic red button oh yes obviously we have the mandatino we'll start in sport then we'll try race mode other controls i need to get a little bit familiar with before we depart and then you've got this carbon brace that separates the driver zone from the passenger no passenger in the car with me today just the car to be enjoyed so pull the door down in a minute we will be heading on out to go drive this thing looking out over this extraordinarily long bonnet and have some fun we're joined by 812 gts we're also joined by the pista spider and we are joined as well by the laferrari aparter and i'm going to wear some glasses to make sure that i'm sure that i don't get stones pinging my face because in this car that is quite important wow this feels weird already well then um what are we doing right now i'm driving a monster sp2 and i really hope that it's possible to hear me i didn't quite know where to put the cameras in this car because it's so different to anything i've regularly driven um at the moment we're in sport we're an automatic but it feels really odd to basically be sitting outside the car you feel more well obviously more in a convertible than a normal convertible because there's a lot of wind in the face and foolishly i have forgotten to bring sun cream which is not ideal on a day as bright and sunny as today but uh i guess that's my small loss for driving this car um you can press auto like other like the other ferraris and everything is quite intuitive from driving 812s and my lusso of course which shares a version of this engine too as does the la ferrari aparter in front one of very few of those of these by the way there are 499 in total and um ferrari allowed custom i'll be start stop start as well ferrari allow customers to choose yes yes and a lot of yes ferrari allowed customers to choose if they want the sp1 or the sp2 um and then obviously it will be just the split and distribution will be down to what customers order um the shifts are so sharp and you have to remember i'm coming into this with the 812 superclass and the a12 gts basically is my favorite production cars in the world and this is a limited version of those so you can expect i'm probably going to enjoy this and looking at the line in front of me i'm already beaming from ear to ear because this is quite frankly ridiculous what we're doing is we head out towards the passes gts at the front followed by the piece of spider followed by the aparter and we've all got the roofs open yes one thing that i do need to do though is to pull out my sit because it is really windy and although it's very sunny it's still a little bit early in the morning at the moment right oh wow feels a little bit windy in here this is going to be quite a an intense driving experience a little bit of traffic but to be honest going a touch slower in this car is no hardship you know what i'm gonna do oh that's snap on downshift into neutral oh we've got some fair old traffic ahead this isn't ideal we've got some sections of road to enjoy in a moment though so let's catch up with that ferrari okay let's put it into race the shifts get even sharper and more dramatic and more traffic we need to get to the proper bit of road where we're heading wow i've got slightly watering eyes i guess that's not hugely surprising considering i'm driving a completely open car like this even though i've got glasses on and to be honest i might look a little bit stupid but when you're here it doesn't matter when you're driving in a monster just just realization moment of what's actually happening in the monza behind the apartment this is um this is driving perfection this car is absolutely awesome listen to this you feel it all the way through you the v12 noise echoing off everything you go past i feel like this could potentially be a drive where my face gets obliterated with stones firing up the tires of the cars in front if that happens it's life it was worth it because this is epic hahaha i love seeing the spoiler work on the laferrari to go through these hairpins even this car wants to slip and slide and dance around does driving get any better than this is this not absolute heaven mr powerslide lover is a legend and this car is a masterpiece this is just happening after happening this is so cool this is so cool what a beautiful day what a beautiful thing to be driving what an experience oh pure heaven absolute heaven i'm just beaming from ear to ear your face goes through some interesting feelings and emotions slightly tall back but i don't really um i don't really know what to say this is pure automotive heaven and then if you go one more ct off this car will start to slide just a little bit around oh we've got all the cows here fun fact this is the road where the ferrari gtc launch took place this exact stretch oh my good this gracious me this is one of the coolest driving experiences ever in the monza sp2 following the laferrari aperta it must be quite funny how much my face deforms under acceleration and from the wind reminds me of jeremy clarkson and yeah i'm sure everyone knows that one of the craziest things though is how much fun you can have without going insanely mach 10. and we're pulling up for a quick rest i i can't stop smiling it's just what is this as cool experiences go this i don't know what to say driving with this little gathering of the four cars together obviously the piston spider the hardcore version of the 488 the laferrari aperta the ultimate la ferrari i guess you could say the limited aperta convertible version apart of being the italian word open the monza sp2 in all of its heritage and glory and sound and then the new 812 gts as well the gts the convertible version of the 812 super fast and here i am driving today in this thing just look at it obviously it's carbon everything carbon-backed seats finished with the four-point harnesses i've been driving with the harness on you've got this floating mirror coming out of the central tunnel i don't know how to really refer to it obviously these are cut out it's a support beam in the center that cut where weight savings can be made the passenger does get a little windshield which is quite nice overall and you can of course have the air conditioning blasting hot air out at you the buttresses behind it the rollover protection that kind of thing the doors i find these doors quite fascinating and intriguing as well small things that just open even here carbon silplack and the car just this thing you've got the dual screens um how you control them through the toggles here to adjust the different modes launch control reverse auto climate control you've got a reversing camera as well if you need one um when parking this that's quite nice sp2 limited edition on the buttress behind but this is um this is this is this is one of my favorite driving experiences this has very quickly gone to the top of the list of quite simply epic things to experience on the road powerslide lover legend thank you um yeah and we're not even not even finished yet it's time to go again that was the laperaria part of starting up that means belts and harnesses back on i've taken off my jacket because it's now quite a lot hotter which i hope i'm not going to regret so let's start this up as well and get ready to go i've got the lift system up to go out over the bump here i think all is fine if the laferrari can do it this should be able to do it this system back down out of auto onto the paddles feeling much more open to the elements right now more than before this is so dreamy like when i lie in bed and i try and have a dream about what i would love to do it involves something like driving a ferrari monza sp2 on a convoy upper mountain pass following a la ferrari inverter and somehow that seems to be what we're doing some of these hairpins are a bit tighter than others has to be said that the view here is pretty extraordinary this is the road i drove up and down quite a few times filming before past the cows plenty of hikers and cyclists and again with a screaming v12 with a line of insane ferraris in front i mean this is this is heaven i tell you what the downside is though in the light of cars being closer to laferrari my face is getting peppered with stones that's not much fun believe me i'm glad i'm wearing glasses i should not wear this car without some glasses on your face certainly not on any kind of road that might have uh stones or anything that will fly up in your face but um i mean i don't mind even driving slowly behind traffic it's all good when you're inside something like this it is all absolutely perfect you can use the sighting lines down the mountain to overtake it's perfect this is so perfect even though my face is taking a beating i just love the feel of ferrari downshifts in fact i love the feeling of everything watching the spoiler as well on that ferrari going up and down it's so quick as well 810 horsepower 150 kilos or so lighter obviously from the a12 so you'd expect it to be a quick point-to-point machine and it very much is a line of ferraris got a snow on my face then tell you what everything must feel and look like a million miles per hour in here just because of how open it is and how it feels i tell you it certainly feels like it's going about a million miles per hour my ears are actually popping from descending as well right now yeah uncontrollable face movements when you accelerate when you're moving opens the elements are very much a thing i think it's safe to say that all of the good days this is a really really good day and in fact i feel very lucky because it's my second time out here driving these roads in a convoy of ferraris actually it's my third time out here driving these roads in a convoy of ferraris and everyone has been spectacular this is no different this is you know what i'm glad we got up and started this day when we did it's got so much busier now it's about half past nine in the morning started about half past seven oh what a feeling this car it's so controllable it's so balanced it's so perfect to drive i'm slightly concerned how much the monster is jumping to the top of one of my favorite cars list given how much i like the 812 now don't get me wrong this is not a highly usable car it's a car for occasions like today when the weather is absolutely spot-on and i mean this once every now and then to enjoy the amount of power oh this is heavenly this is so cool yeah what i was saying not a uh not a all-around car but for an occasion for an experience it's about perfect it's about perfect you go back through our little tunnel here the sounds off the rock walls this thing this car the more i'm driving it the more i'm getting comfortable and familiar with it the more i am absolutely loving it honestly this is a perfect day of driving now that we're coming back into town obviously things get a little bit calmer my ears can take a break from the wind going by the face from all of the different places i've been making along the way the views are out here and breathtaking i'm driving in a monster and i'm loving it in the right place this car now the south through town streets particularly at the la ferrari ah the streets are alive with the sound of v12s as we're coming through and i feel completely open this is actually quite maybe even a little bit too much especially with my funky glasses i've got on oh piece of spider during the roof i can't do that i've got to just be uh open and brave it ferrari has a target top roof that's left at home honestly this has been one of the best driving days ever this car is magnificent powerslide lover is an absolute legend the weather the scenery the location the gathering the group of friends it can't get any better it could not get better at all the sun is now out in force but considering how busy it was getting it was right to get up quite so early but just look at this thing the monza sp2 parked now in the bright sunshine the profile side on view of this the silhouette of it it's so low even the buttresses sit incredibly low not having a roof line gives it this awesome appearance there are other cars that have done this format obviously the slr sterling moss and more recently the mclaren elva and the aston martin v12 speedster but the combination for me of this naturally aspirated v12 that sound the ferrari dynamics and feeling obviously it incorporates all of their latest technologies in terms of slip slide control traction everything that it has and it just makes the most incredible driving experience it's really cool to look at as well there are very few body panels actually on the exterior the whole really large clam with both of the buttresses the bumper the bonnet this whole piece just one very very large bit of carbon fiber this thing i mean just sitting here the grey painting wouldn't normally you know i'd normally go for a bright speck but this is a historical livery made with the matching red stripes to the driver's side buttress and my word my word it also has really large wheels i'd almost forgotten that it has 20 at the front and 21 at the rear i think first time ferraris have put a 21 on their cars which obviously give it even more of a modern look and yeah just just just yeah i don't really know what else i can i can say this experience has been absolutely out of this world so a huge thanks to powerslide lover if you aren't following him already link in the description down below do go check out his page for more fun with this car and some of the others in the collection today has been a dream one i'm not gonna forget in a hurry so thank you very much for watching guys i appreciate your support as always and i'll see you again very soon cheers just realized a funny thing you might have noticed at the checkpoint i did manage to find some sun cream which means my face has got covered in dirt it was worth it though i don't care this car was so good just a funny side effect of driving the sp2 that's it though thanks again guys

mountain to overtake it's perfect this is so perfect even though my face is taking a beating i just love the feel of ferrari downshifts in fact i love the feeling of everything watching the spoiler as well on that ferrari going up and down it's so quick as well 810 horsepower 150 kilos or so lighter obviously from the a12 so you'd expect it to be a quick point-to-point machine and it very much is a line of ferraris got a snow on my face then tell you what everything must feel and look like a million miles per hour in here just because of how open it is and how it feels i tell you it certainly feels like it's going about a million miles per hour my ears are actually popping from descending as well right now yeah uncontrollable face movements when you accelerate when you're moving opens the elements are very much a thing i think it's safe to say that all of the good days this is a really really good day and in fact i feel very lucky because it's my second time out here driving these roads in a convoy of ferraris actually it's my third time out here driving these roads in a convoy of ferraris and everyone has been spectacular this is no different this is you know what i'm glad we got up and started this day when we did it's got so much busier now it's about half past nine in the morning started about half past seven oh what a feeling this car it's so controllable it's so balanced it's so perfect to drive i'm slightly concerned how much the monster is jumping to the top of one of my favorite cars list given how much i like the 812 now don't get me wrong this is not a highly usable car it's a car for occasions like today when the weather is absolutely spot-on and i mean this once every now and then to enjoy the amount of power oh this is heavenly this is so cool yeah what i was saying not a uh not a all-around car but for an occasion for an experience it's about perfect it's about perfect you go back through our little tunnel here the sounds off the rock walls this thing this car the more i'm driving it the more i'm getting comfortable and familiar with it the more i am absolutely loving it honestly this is a perfect day of driving now that we're coming back into town obviously things get a little bit calmer my ears can take a break from the wind going by the face from all of the different places i've been making along the way the views are out here and breathtaking i'm driving in a monster and i'm loving it in the right place this car now the south through town streets particularly at the la ferrari ah the streets are alive with the sound of v12s as we're coming through and i feel completely open this is actually quite maybe even a little bit too much especially with my funky glasses i've got on oh piece of spider during the roof i can't do that i've got to just be uh open and brave it ferrari has a target top roof that's left at home honestly this has been one of the best driving days ever this car is magnificent powerslide lover is an absolute legend the weather the scenery the location the gathering the group of friends it can't get any better it could not get better at all the sun is now out in force but considering how busy it was getting it was right to get up quite so early but just look at this thing the monza sp2 parked now in the bright sunshine the profile side on view of this the silhouette of it it's so low even the buttresses sit incredibly low not having a roof line gives it this awesome appearance there are other cars that have done this format obviously the slr sterling moss and more recently the mclaren elva and the aston martin v12 speedster but the combination for me of this naturally aspirated v12 that sound the ferrari dynamics and feeling obviously it incorporates all of their latest technologies in terms of slip slide control traction everything that it has and it just makes the most incredible driving experience it's really cool to look at as well there are very few body panels actually on the exterior the whole really large clam with both of the buttresses the bumper the bonnet this whole piece just one very very large bit of carbon fiber this thing i mean just sitting here the grey painting wouldn't normally you know i'd normally go for a bright speck but this is a historical livery made with the matching red stripes to the driver's side buttress and my word my word it also has really large wheels i'd almost forgotten that it has 20 at the front and 21 at the rear i think first time ferraris have put a 21 on their cars which obviously give it even more of a modern look and yeah just just just yeah i don't really know what else i can i can say this experience has been absolutely out of this world so a huge thanks to powerslide lover if you aren't following him already link in the description down below do go check out his page for more fun with this car and some of the others in the collection today has been a dream one i'm not gonna forget in a hurry so thank you very much for watching guys i appreciate your support as always and i'll see you again very soon cheers just realized a funny thing you might have noticed at the checkpoint i did manage to find some sun cream which means my face has got covered in dirt it was worth it though i don't care this car was so good just a funny side effect of driving the sp2 that's it though thanks again guys cheers you\n"
