Streamlined one-seater Ferrari complete with carbon fibre helmet & goggles hits auction for an eye-watering sum
A 189MPH Ferrari with only a single seat has been listed for sale at an eye-watering price.
The solo driving showstopper, a 2022 Ferrari Monza SP1, is on the market for a staggering £3million.
Photographs of the sleek motor reveal the single-seater’s aerodynamic design.
It is finished in Titanium Grey with accents of Giallo Modena yellow on the exterior and the interior.
The supercar’s one seat comes with a four-point harness, with the famous Cavallino logo stitched onto the headrest.
And if any owners want, they can choose from a variety of optional extras, including a suspension lifter and front and rear parking cameras.
Any prospective owner can also look forward to a carry case of accessories.
The suite of goodies includes a Berluti carbon fibre helmet and accompanying leather carry case, plongé leather driving gloves by Loro Piana, goggles, display models and a Ferrari folio.
This model was the first to be devised under the Ferrari’s new “Icona” series.
It is a throwback to the pure Barchetta race cars of the 1950s, such as the Mille Miglia- and 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning 166 MM, 750, and 860 Monza.
And packs a 6.5-litre V-12 engine that delivers a top speed of 189 miles per hour.
“The model is one of only 499 examples of the limited-edition Monza SP Barchetta ever produced,” reads the auction listing.
“This example, chassis 244381, is predominantly finished in the attractive shade of Titanium Grey.
“Meanwhile, Giallo Modena is the livery design running over the rear fin and bonnet.
“Its personalised exterior flourish includes the airbrushed Scuderia shields and yellow brake callipers while components such as the engine cover, wheel arches, rear diffuser, front air vents, and under-door covers are completed in carbon fibre.
“As for the interior, a large-size GT2 monocoque racing seat trimmed in Cioccolato leather is equipped with a four-point harness.
“A Testa di Moro hue was selected for the famous Cavallino logo stitched into the headrest and yellow was chosen for the tachometer.
“Optional extras include the installation of a suspension lifter in addition to front and rear parking cameras.
“A carbon fibre finish for the luggage compartment completes this car’s impressive specification.
“The SP1 was initially registered on 28 July 2022 by its one and only owner, who is based in Nürtingen, to the south of Stuttgart.
“Used sparingly since, the odometer displays just 1182 miles at the time of cataloguing.
“The car is complemented by a suite of accessories, including a Berluti carbon fibre helmet and accompanying leather carry case, plongé leather driving gloves by Loro Piana, goggles, display models, plus Ferrari folio.”
It is set to be auctioned on November 23 by RM Sotheby.
