It wouldn't have made sense for them to get rid of the passenger door, climate vents etc on such a low production car. I hear less than 1/3 of the Monzas are SP1s. It doesn't have the second hump though, so it looks much cooler imo.

@@EEvtg i mean it costs 2 mils, that's the least they could do that they commit to the one seater setup that they get rid off everything which reminds the car to a two seater and everything which a racecar doesn't need.

@@EEvtg I get what you're saying, and I understand that it's easier and cheaper to reuse the same body, but being such a low production and $2 mil car, you'd think they would spend a little more time to make it as refined as possible. I just find it super lazy when supercar manufacturers build these amazing unique cars and yet still cut so many corners. Like the other guy said, if you're willing to remove the passenger side, at least commit to it fully. They are willing to make a new rear panel to remove the second hump, but not a new side(?) panel to make the entire thing look like whole, instead of "yeah just remove the seat and put a panel over it to cover that area" regardless it's a cool car!

@@BEA5TBEAT5 They launched the SP1 and SP2 simultaniously at the same event, as two seat setup choices of the exact same car. When you ordered one, you got to choose between the one seat version of the Monza or the two seat VERSION. There was no confusion with the buyers. The SP1 was only bought buy a few people that wanted a prettier variant and knew it wasn't built as a bespoke single seater. Ferrari did this to give buyers an option, but they knew most people would want two seats. Plus, the air conditioning being there under the cover is fuctional! It keeps the trapped air in the passenger area from getting hot, assuring the drivers lower body doesn't take all that trapped heat.

[@absolutium]

I actually think the Portofino would be the perfect garage match for the Sp1.. that way it would certainly be used as a daily driver.

I wonder if you could convert an SP1 to an SP2 and vice versa since it looks like almost everything is still there. Just order a seat and a couple extra panels.

10:41 - The fact that there's a blank button in the center console annoys me. It's understandable if it's seen in a much more mass produced car, but an automobile with a limited run of only hundreds for the globe and also being sold for 2 million bucks each, you'd think that they would at least be able to design that one single piece of panel to have a layout that favors keeping it clean and free of any blanks.

[@jerryrocketandthegogogirls3517]

If they were worried about aerodynamics and that’s why they only put in one seat, why not have a roof, that’s so much more turbulent force, and like he said the weight reduction wasn’t a factor as it’s only 60lbs lighter than an actual car

[@europlebr3216]

Because the car was primarily built to pay respects to the open cockpit racers like the 166MM and the 860 monza hence the name.

[@InnerTurbulencia]

A windscreen generates the majority of the downforce of a standard road car, so it would've helped.

“Weight reduction wasnt a factor as its lighter” lol what?

[@jerryrocketandthegogogirls3517]

@@galaxspace1 having a hard time understanding? Watch the video. That’s what doug says. Only a few lbs difference isn’t doing anything especially since it has a much more turbulent flow. Weird to worry about aerodynamics and make it only a one seater when they already threw that out the window making it open like that. Not having a second seat just doesn’t make any sense, it’s barely lighter than a real car with two seats and a real interior, a roof, windows, windshield, etc. This thing should be light asf compared to an 812 considering how bare bones it is. Thanks for the comment lol go to bed

Not if that mandates an entire chassis redesign and Ferrari is using this as a money mule with barely any effort put into it. This is honestly one of the stupidest cars I've seen, but alas, it's gonna be worth an additional few million in a couple years.

[@davidankrom1247]

Of course it should be in the middle! They lost a glorious opportunity here. Not to mention fixing the nonsensical middle divider and rear view mirror placement. I Love the idea of a single seater, but they really only used one side of their italian brains on this one. Such a waste!!! Who cares about revisiting their hallowed traditions. It's just a money grab. Do it right and move forward...

[@jjlegend3922]

I sorta like that they just modified a 2 seater to make the SP1. Spending that much money on a single seat car, it be nice to know you're one seat away, and a simple unclipped panel from having a two seater car. (It might be more extensive than that, but it seems pretty simple)

[@megachonk9440]

You would also need to add the roll bar for the passenger seat and replace the trunk panel. In addition to that, I'm not sure the passenger door is fully functional. Unlike what Doug suggested, there appears to be no door pull installed to open the passenger door, so you can't reach in and open it.

[@aidanfiadh]

Fun Fact: The wind deflector instead of a windscreen was also done on the 1996 Renault Sport Spider and it did not work to such an extent that in 1997 they added an optional windscreen, which about 3/4 of the cars had.

[@budja1501]

For my personal tastes, I just can’t usually get behind asymmetrical cars. It just doesn’t go with the whole idea of bilateral symmetry tending to look beautiful in nature. That being said, ignoring my distaste of asymmetry in car design I just can’t ignore the fact that this car is stunningly beautiful. I’d prefer my single seater car to have the seat in the center, but still. The Roma was already pretty close to a masterpiece but there’s some details about this car that just does it for me. I also love it when car companies re-imagine a design from years past and modernize it for the future. Can’t wait to see more from the Icona series

I got a chance to see these cars at Pebble Beach and they were stunning. Simple curvaceous forms and an open cockpit speaks to another motoring time.

It's not really built for practicality and USB C is still not the most common port type.. Also fun fact, USB C ports production have seen a massive disruption in the past year and a lot of cars have had to cancel their orders and go with USB A instead, could just be that supply chain management wasn't worth it for this car which clearly is compromising on practicality already. By that extend we might as well question why it doesn't have wireless charging by now.

@@keg4998 Unlike what Doug said, I don't think they were aiming to make the SP1/SP2 particularly lightweight. If it was their goal, they would have skipped the power locks and A/C. It's basically the same weight as the 812, they just moved the weight down low in the structure. That's why the door sills are so massive. The car still has to be super-rigid and also pass crash testing, after all.
