The spotlight is firmly set on Lake Como this May as an exceptional example of the Ferrari Monza SP2 prepares to cross the block at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction, hosted by Broad Arrow Auctions.
Part of Ferrari’s highly exclusive Icona series, the Monza SP2 is a modern tribute to some of Maranello’s most celebrated racing legends, including the Ferrari 166MM Barchetta and the iconic Monza competition cars of the 1950s. Unlike its single-seat sibling, the SP1, the SP2 offers a rare two-seat configuration, making it both more usable and arguably even more desirable among collectors.
Underneath its sculpted carbon fibre barchetta body lies the heart of the Ferrari 812 Superfast, a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 delivering a staggering 798 horsepower. Capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, the Monza SP2 delivers a visceral, open-air driving experience unlike anything else on the road today. True to its race-bred inspiration, it even forgoes a traditional windscreen, instead relying on Ferrari’s innovative “Virtual Windshield” system to channel airflow over the cockpit.
The example set for auction, chassis 261538, is as close to new as it gets, showing just 417 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Finished in a striking two-tone livery of Rosso California with a Grigio Coburn nose and Argento Nürburgring accents, it pays homage to Ferrari’s historic racing colours.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Blue leather and Jeans Aunde fabric, complete with embroidered Cavallino Rampante headrests and four-point harnesses. Adding to its exclusivity, the car is delivered with a pair of bespoke carbon fibre helmets crafted by Berluti.
Designed with legendary road races like the Mille Miglia in mind, the Monza SP2 blends cutting-edge aerodynamics with old-school drama. It stands today as one of the most collectible Ferraris of the modern era—an ultra-limited machine originally offered only to Ferrari’s most loyal clients.
With Icona models seldom appearing on the open market, anticipation is building for what could be one of the standout sales of the year. When the hammer falls at Villa d’Este on 16–17 May 2026, expect fierce competition from collectors eager to secure a piece of Ferrari history.
