Summary
Broad Arrow will auction a 2020 Ferrari Monza SP2 with just 417 kilometers at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in May 2026. The car is one of 499 Icona series units produced, featuring a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 delivering 799 horsepower and a bespoke Tailor Made livery in two-tone Rosso California with Grigio Coburn nose section and Argento Nürburgring accents.
Low-mileage SP2 examples have historically commanded premiums exceeding 20% appreciation within 12 months. Auction registration requires proof of funds and pre-approval for high-value lots, with Villa d’Este viewing access limited to invited attendees.
A near-pristine Ferrari Monza SP2 will cross the block at one of Europe’s most prestigious automotive events this spring, offering collectors a rare chance to acquire an ultra-low-mileage example of Ferrari’s open-top barchetta. The 2020 model shows just 417 kilometers and carries a custom Tailor Made specification that positions it among the most distinctive of the 499 Icona series cars produced between 2019 and 2022.
The auction takes place at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este on Lake Como, where Broad Arrow will present the SP2 as a highlight lot. Ferrari limited combined production of the SP1 single-seater and SP2 two-seater to 499 units, making any example scarce — but sub-500-kilometer cars rarely reach public sale.
This particular SP2’s specification includes a two-tone Rosso California body with contrasting Grigio Coburn nose section and Argento Nürburgring accents, executed through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program. The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 produces 799 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 719 Newton-meters of torque at 7,000 rpm, delivering 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.9 seconds.
What makes this SP2 auction-worthy
The Monza SP2’s appeal extends beyond its limited production run. Ferrari designed the Icona series as a modern interpretation of 1950s racing barchettas, eliminating the traditional windscreen in favor of a “virtual wind shield” that channels airflow over occupants. The result is an open-cockpit experience at speeds exceeding 300 km/h, supported by carbon-ceramic brakes with 398mm front rotors and a dry weight of just 1,520 kilograms.
At 4,657mm length and 1,996mm width, the SP2 sits dimensionally between a track special and a grand tourer. The naturally aspirated V12 — increasingly rare as Ferrari transitions to hybrid powertrains — represents the final generation of the F140 GA engine architecture. A 90-liter fuel tank provides range for extended driving, though most SP2 owners treat these cars as collection centerpieces rather than daily drivers.
Broad Arrow’s selection of Villa d’Este as the auction venue signals confidence in the car’s provenance and condition. The Concorso d’Eleganza attracts the world’s most serious collectors, and auction houses reserve their strongest lots for this May weekend on Lake Como.

How this SP2 compares to recent sales
The market for ultra-limited Ferrari specials has strengthened considerably since 2021, when a low-mileage Monza SP2 sold at RM Sotheby’s Monterey for over $2 million. That example carried under 1,000 kilometers and appreciated approximately 20% within 12 months as collectors recognized the Icona series’ investment potential.
This 417-kilometer car enters the market with even lower usage and a more distinctive Tailor Made specification. The two-tone Rosso California livery with contrasting nose section represents a departure from the monochromatic finishes most SP2 buyers selected, potentially adding value for collectors seeking visual differentiation within the 499-unit production run.
The SP2 sits in a competitive tier with McLaren’s Elva (399 units, 804 horsepower twin-turbo V8, approximately $2.1 million base price) and Aston Martin’s V12 Speedster (88 units, 690 horsepower, approximately $3.9 million). Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 and open-top barchetta purity justify its positioning — the Elva offers active aero screens for wind management, while the Speedster emphasizes hand-built British craftsmanship over outright performance.
Securing access to the auction
Broad Arrow requires bidder registration with proof of funds and pre-approval for high-value lots like this SP2. The auction house typically requests bank references or verified asset statements demonstrating liquidity of at least 150% of the estimated hammer price — in this case, likely $3 million to $4 million in accessible funds.
Villa d’Este viewing access operates on an invitation-only basis for the May 2026 event. Collectors without existing relationships to the Concorso d’Eleganza can request invitations through Broad Arrow’s client services team, though priority goes to Ferrari Classiche certified owners and established auction clients. Deposits for bidding privileges on seven-figure lots typically start at $100,000.
The auction is genuinely accessible to vetted high-net-worth individuals with $2 million-plus liquidity, not exclusively ultra-elite collectors. However, the combination of limited viewing access and pre-approval requirements means serious buyers should initiate registration no later than April 2026 to ensure clearance before the May sale date.
- Register with Broad Arrow by mid-April 2026 to complete financial verification before the Villa d’Este event. Late registrations risk missing the approval window.
- Request Villa d’Este viewing invitations through auction client services if you lack existing Concorso connections. Ferrari ownership or previous auction participation strengthens requests.
- Prepare $100,000+ deposit capacity for bidding privileges on this lot. Broad Arrow accepts wire transfers and certified checks, but processing takes 3-5 business days.
- Review comparable SP2 sales from 2021-2025 to establish your maximum bid before the auction. Low-mileage examples have consistently exceeded pre-sale estimates by 15-25%.
- Consider post-purchase logistics — Ferrari Classiche certification, secure transport to your collection facility, and insurance valuation all require advance planning for cars at this value level.
Watch: If this 417-kilometer SP2 exceeds $3 million at Villa d’Este, it will signal sustained 20%+ appreciation for low-mileage Icona models and likely push remaining SP1 and SP2 owners to hold rather than sell, further tightening supply.

FAQ
How many Ferrari Monza SP2 cars were produced?
Ferrari produced 499 total units across both the SP1 single-seater and SP2 two-seater variants between 2019 and 2022. The exact split between SP1 and SP2 production has not been publicly disclosed by Ferrari, but both models share the same limited production allocation within the Icona series.
What is the difference between Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2?
The SP1 is a single-seater designed for solo driving, while the SP2 accommodates two occupants. Both share identical powertrains, chassis architecture, and performance specifications. SP1 models typically command slight premiums at auction due to their more extreme single-seat configuration and perceived rarity among collectors.
Can you drive a Ferrari Monza SP2 on public roads?
Yes, the Monza SP2 is fully road-legal in most jurisdictions despite lacking a traditional windscreen. Ferrari’s “virtual wind shield” system channels airflow over occupants, and the car meets regulatory requirements for lighting, emissions, and safety equipment. However, most owners treat SP2s as collection pieces rather than daily drivers due to their value and limited production.

Emirates A380 Business Class: Why the Same Seat Can Cost $2,500 or $10,000
Emirates Airbus A380 business class on the same long-haul route can carry a one-way price tag anywhere from roughly $2,500 on a discounted saver fare to well over $6,000 on a Business Flex ticket — a spread driven almost entirely by fare bucket availability and when you book. March 2026 fare checks confirmed one-way business fares from New York-JFK to Dubai at $4,669 on the lowest available fare versus $6,442 for the flex equivalent on the same flight. The gap isn't random — it's yield management working exactly as designed. Saver inventory is finite, opens unpredictably, and disappears fast on high-demand routes.
Luxury travel in 2027: $225,000 private jet trips and exclusive yacht bookings sell out fast
The 2027 luxury travel landscape is being reshaped by a portfolio-level shift toward measurable exclusivity, with Abercrombie & Kent pricing a 28-day, seven-continent private-jet journey at $225,000 per person and Aman opening bookings for a 47-suite yacht launching in the Mediterranean in May 2027. These are not one-off splurges but signals of a market where ultra-premium inventory is behaving more like a collector's item than a standard holiday product. The capacity is vanishingly small—just 50 seats on A&K's Boeing 757 and 94 guests on Amangati—and demand for shoulder-season Europe, private villas, and cruises above $50,000 is compressing booking windows to one to two years ahead.
Windows on the World returns to cultural focus 25 years after 9/11 tragedy
Fifty years after it opened and twenty-five years after it was destroyed, Windows on the World returns to cultural focus with CNN Films' Top of the World, premiering September 7, 2026. The North Tower dining room served as many as 1,000 covers a night and became the highest-grossing U.S. restaurant for much of its run. On September 11, 2001, 79 employees and 91 guests were killed at the restaurant. The documentary uses the dual anniversary to examine how a single dining room shaped American hospitality, wine education, and New York's global image.
Google acquires 600 million internal Spirit Airlines messages for $10M — sparking privacy debate
Google has acquired roughly 600 million internal messages from defunct ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines for $10 million in a bankruptcy auction, paying approximately 1.7 cents per message. The dataset, encompassing 100 million employee emails and 500 million Microsoft Teams chats, will be de-identified and used for AI model training, marking one of the first instances of a defunct airline's corporate memory being monetized for technology development. The transaction, which excludes customer profiles and credit card numbers, awaits approval from a federal bankruptcy judge on August 19, 2026. It tests whether internal employee communications can be legally repurposed after corporate failure, even with promises of anonymization.
JetBlue accused of selling passenger data to set airfares, sparking ‘surveillance pricing’ lawsuit
A proposed class action lawsuit filed April 22, 2026, in Brooklyn federal court accuses JetBlue Airways of deploying digital trackers to collect passengers' personal data — browsing history, device type, location — and sharing it with third parties to adjust ticket prices in real time without consent. Plaintiff Andrew Phillips alleges the practice, known as "surveillance pricing," means two travelers searching the same flight simultaneously could see entirely different fares. JetBlue denies the allegations, maintaining fares are set by demand and seat inventory alone. A separate FTC investigation published in January 2026 found retailers broadly using personal data for individualized pricing, lending regulatory weight to the complaint. The lawsuit follows a viral social media exchange in which JetBlue advised a passenger to clear cookies to lower a fare — then deleted the post. That single reply is now central to the case.
Belmond’s $5,500 Presidential Suite on Eastern & Oriental Express sells out fast
A luxury rail-and-resort week through Malaysia — anchored by the Belmond Eastern & Oriental Express and The Datai Langkawi — is now a genuine, bookable premium alternative to crowded Southeast Asian circuits. The train’s $5,500 Presidential Suite fares and the resort’s MYR 1,650 to MYR 3,950 nightly rates set a floor-level luxury price point, but the real constraint is inventory, not cost. The rail leg is the bottleneck; departures from Singapore Woodlands Station are limited, and The Datai’s 2026 offer sheet shows distinct pricing bands with blackout dates from 1–5 May. Shoulder-season travel offers the best chance to combine both experiences without peak-season premiums.
