Doug please give the scores one by one like you did before, it was way more fun like that, excellent video as always
I always enjoyed the commentary on each score category and how he arrived at it. The current system which been around a couple of months is less satisfying
Please Doug see this comment. I agree
This
He used to just do the quick summary for the less important cars. I also enjoy the longer doug score commentary for the more important cars.
Glad I'm not the only one who wishes he'd go back to this!
Let's give a major shout-out to the guy who let Doug DeMuro review his car and gave him permission to drive and have fun with it, even though it only has like 15 miles on the odometer. Bravo, good sir. Also, I'm disappointed Doug never touched on whether that air slot actually did anything.
Edit: holy shit, over 2,000 likes in a day? I’ve never had a comment this liked before lol.
I was wondering about that too. Didn't the owner drive it first?
He was just too excited and saying how it cool was to remember to talk about that 😂
Was it a private owner or a dealership?
@D S R in the video he said "the owner let me drive it" so I guess it's privately owned
@JENNITA B.O no
you didn't tell us how effective the virtual windscreen was 😭
This was like the main point for me 😭😭😭
Yeah, I really wanted to know that too
I mean you can get some kind of answer from the noise of the wind in the audio from that I'd say it does a bit of the job
@@peswaka6761 or from the fact he didn't even think of mentioning it anymore
Its useless lol someone made video with sp2 aston and mclaren elva and said elva has best system bit still useless lol
Seeing Doug driving that car, with a helmet on, and smiling, is the coolest thing. Way to go, Doug.
Except that the helmet was useless as he never buckled it.
@@tphillippe "Keep Doug's helmet's name out your f#©£|n mouth"!!! 👋(slap)
@@tphillippe exactly lol
@@tphillippeit was so a rock didn’t hit his face since the car doesn’t have a windshield
Honestly for 2 million I'd think Ferrari could have made a custom SP1 passenger side rather than just cover the SP2 door area.
THANK you! That´s exactly what I was thinking.
I would feel very insulted, if I was picked to buy one. Because you're expecting something exquisite and unique. Blank buttons are one thing, but this is something else. It truly shows that it isn't special and that it ran of a production line, or at least give that cheap feeling.
If I had 2 million to spend, I would have my own custom shed build car. On a reliable platform ofcourse. That would be special.

this is so stupid, why not put seat in middle of the car like gma t50? also, a bubble cockpit like fighter pilot couldve made it more areodynamic and interesting looking and rain protection. add a tinted HUD, do mid engine. gma t50 doesnt do what im saying b/c it wants to be crash protective, but this cars customers dont care. could also make a off roader liek 1970s rallye racer, true driver cars. porsche carrera v10 style shifter
Honestly for two million I'd buy something else lol
@@kalmmonke5037 It's because there's also a two-seater version of this car, called the Monza SP2. It's exactly the same, just the removeable panel is removed and the passenger seat is fitted.
Props to the person who let Doug review this striking Ferrari and oh my I already love this garage!

@@jahshjahsh2002No, this is definitely Arizona. Probably Scottsdale or Paradise Valley.
@@NicholasHarsinall the cars have CA plates. He’s in a race track in the Palm Springs/Coachella area. I live close by. There’s also a BMW performance driving place where you can rent out their cars and use the track. There’s a smaller track and then the main full size track.
My father and I were lucky enough to see a Monza SP2 start up and accelerate today at Penske motors in Scottsdale, Arizona. Was white with a red racing stripe with incredible red interior… looks EXACTLY like the speed racer car in the cartoon… so glad we got to share the experience of seeing 1/500 made… this was so special to me that I was with my father when seeing it… we don’t bond about a lot, so when we saw the car it meant that much more to me… and I hope him, as well. Love to all reading. -commenting from Phoenix, Arizona, with love for all people all over this world.
for me, the most amazing thing about doug's channel is that he manages to keep all videos tight to about 30 minutes, no matter if the car has MASSIVE QUIRKS AND FEATURES
Nah, some are like 45 minutes and some are split into 2 videos
I absolutely love how a tool is missing and the sticker says "Tool not necessary for this vehicle" yet it has a glove box, climate vent on the passenger side and a full passenger door.
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. For me this car doesn't make any sense. Like the AC too, why. pointless weight... either commit to the one seater racecar setup or don't.
This looks like laziness more than anything else
@@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!
@@Glanthor88 I liked SP1s more than SP2s until this video. They just added panels and got rid of the of the hump. The SP1 was an afterthought.
Doug: And it's not street legal!
Also Doug 5 seconds later: I'm going to take it out on the road and drive it :)
One of the many perks of having dealer plates in the us 😉
He is on private lands/ race track
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS COMMENT IS FUNNY 😂 BTW I'M DROPPING ANOTHER COMEDY VIDEO ON DOUG DEMURO VERY SOON SEE YOU ON MY CHANNEL 😂😂😂😂😂😂💣🚀
@@jedispartancoolman I know but still :))
It's not legal, but with asterisk.
Doug is blown away by the open experience like only a person that has never driven a motorcycle can be blown away.
I love videos like this where Doug is giddy with joy the entire time. This man is living the dream.
Doug is the type of guy to break into a car and steal it's owners manual.
I wonder if Ferrari will still be making cars during WW3.
Nice copy paste machine bro
can you blame him? those things are comedy goldmines

"This is mostly intended for track use"
No. This is mostly intended to bolster the collections of people with more money than they know how to spend.
Yes, and they know that's where these will end up themselves. If they wanted to make a track car they would make a track car - with a way different seat, safety cage, no AC etc... no street regulation only would help them if they really wanted it. this is no track car for sure...
Exactly. Pretending it is a track car is silly. Track cars have real weight reduction and no luxury, this is an art piece.
That's fine, he should just be honest about it.
Jelly
@@mikhailshi And a track only car does not have to be around 1500-2000 kg to have leverage in a head on crash with another car. A car half the weight would be as safe as the normal weight at track.
@@mikhailshi They did not intend to build a track car. it just is not street legal in the us
Imagine how good and proper it would look without the panel gaps on the passenger side.
Honestly the big removable panel and the passenger door still being there totally takes away from how special this car is. Its basically just a modified version of a huge production ferrari car. Kinda disappointing.
@@cameronharvey4746 that’s because this car have two version this one is the sp1 which only have 1 seat, but the sp2 have 2 seats
It’s the same car but only one have 1 seat
@@elbigodao4858 Yes, but it’s done in a lazy way almost laughably. If Toyota, or any manufacturer did this with a more domestic and affordable car they would be made fun of for cost cutting. This would be like the coupe accord just having useless rear doors rather than being entirely different despite sharing the same name
@@youngcoffey9631 well it is more practical to fabricate the SP2 version that i asume its the one that rich people would prefer and if some one ask for the SP1 they just remove the passenger seat and cover it with a panel, they dont save money, they save time! Cause Ferrari also makes another models and they desing new ones for the future as the new SP3 so.... it is a Unique Ferrari anyways
@@Sebas_Mendez_Kinoman Hey, saying time and money aren’t directly linked with a business is stupid. Don’t correct me when you’re not more right, yes they’re cutting time but also money heavily like most car manufacturers tend to I don’t think it’s a bad business idea it’s just that Ferrari is supposed to be a master piece not an affordable sports car. Do it right and not lazily
What about the virtual windshield you said you would report on when behind the wheel? How effective was it? Super curious about that aspect as there seemed to be a decent bit of wind noise in the drive shots. Thanks Doug for a detailed look at a car I could never own.
I've always wondered what the passenger compartment in the single seater Monza looked like, no other TH-camr showed this, Thank you, Doug
Aye,Busta!
@@anustupnaskar3809 There you are, seeing you after a long time in the comments section
It's basically just the passenger compartment of the SP2 without the seat and it looks like it also doesn't have the door pull installed, so possibly the passenger door isn't truly functional. It's not like you can convert and SP1 to and SP2 just by adding a seat, since it lacks the roll bar for the passenger seat. Weird how they actually installed that beautiful leather glove box on a car where it will never be accessed.
He didn't open it. That panel is removable
@@megachonk9440 All of that makes the SP1 look like an exercise in absolute laziness.

THANKS BRO BTW I'M DROPPING ANOTHER COMEDY VIDEO ON DOUG DEMURO VERY SOON SEE YOU ON MY CHANNEL 😂😂😂😂😂😂💣🚀
Love your energy and enthusiasm throughout the episode! Along with your jokes in this and in all others😂
I have to say this is one of his best vids! He is so excited about this car. I agree with another, break the scores down individually like it used to be, more fun that way. Great job Doug!!
When I attended the Laquna Seca historic in august there were 31 of SP1s and SP2s all parked together in a lot just above the circuit. It was incredible to just walk around each one. Every one was painted differently.
The people who get alocated these types of Ferraris go mental on the specs a lot of times. It's good they don't stick to the "Resale Red"
What were their lap times on the track?
I am so glad to see the Miura in the intro. I have been wondering when his review of it was going to come out. It's my favorite car of all time. I can't wait for it!! Good work Doug.
At 6'4, can he get in the Miura?
@Pierre Lesage might have a sore neck but I'd say barely
I'm guessing he'll be 6'3 in the Miura video
He did a shot like that with a mint RamCharger, and I thought the same thing... Well its 8 months later and still no RamCharger review lol! Don't get too excited, who knows when he'll post what.
@@jjlegend3922 There's also an Autech Zagato Stelvio we haven't seen. I'd rather watch a video of that than a Lexus crossover.
This is the most hilarious video Doug has ever put together till date. You can see him laughing quite a few times during the review.
Absolutely loved it !
You must've not seen his reviews of that old soviet car, the armored vehicle and the BAC Mono. Watch them and then you should rethink your comment :-)
@@k.r.99 I will do that. Thanks for the heads up 👍😁
@@aviralgour6519 just a quick correction, he did different armored vehicles but the video i'm talking about should be searched as "Doug armored military vehicle" and the other ones just like "Doug Volga Gaz" and "Doug Bac mono"
@@k.r.99 Okay, thanks a lot for the update😊👍
Doug you're so excited I had to play this at 0.5 speed with a clarinet concerto in the background so I didn't hyperventilate. Awesome video as ever tho
The "open" aspect of the car is what I felt when I first rode a motorcycle. It was such a weird and incredible experience. Especially since you're used to putting on a seatbelt and having a roof over your head. And with a bike, you just swing a leg over and go. What an off putting but thrilling experience. Glad I didn't have to pay $2 Million to experience that though, lol.
Yep, bikes are fun (bought my first one in 2012) and a reminder that freedom, with all its perils, is preferable to the alternative.
Exactly what I was thinking
off putting?
@E Van have you ever been in a convertible that's not moving when it's 90? You want ac
There is bots copying your comment, look at the comments further down. That's so funny 😂
29:28 You know for someone who rambles a lot and tries to go over every detail, you would think Doug would go over the personal experience of the virtual windshield. He probably only got up to 60mph but he could have at least lifted his visor and see if the virtual windshield made any difference. I'm glad that he's able to drive all of these rare cars but its such a wasted opportunity not to talk about the biggest quirk of this car.
Even with the visor on he'd still be able to feel the wind, I think he just forgot about it once he got to drive it.
He enjoyed it so much he forgot.
And if he popped the visor the helmet might have come of as he didnt do up the strap.
@@davidmccullough3404 No. Motorbike helmets don't just fly off when you open the visor, strap or no strap.
I'm amazed he didn't wear his corona virus mask...
Well at last I can say Doug has made it to my level because I have been driving my 1964 army Landrover with no roof for more than 40 years. The windscreen lays on the bonnet - sport mode - rain, hail or shine and it's driven daily.
Welcome Doug.
Thanks for coming over and checking out my SP1, it was great having you Doug! Stop by anytime!
I also miss the old Doug score layout, I like hearing your reasoning for the scores. Bring it back please!
I remember the days not even that long ago, i could easily be the 100th viewer about 30 minutes after the video got posted.....Now its already 19K. Well done Doug, you deserve it. I even enjoy the carsandbids part to see which cars were sold ;)
Ah yes..the age of "Doug's the type of guy" jokes
"FIRST!" Oh, wait...
@@conor7154 he is driving cars in the normal world. Dont see him renting racetracks any time soon. Cant blame him for that;)
@@IK_MK way better then someone doing timestamps that attracts Doug haters like my son who likes very bad cars like BMWs
@@PaTTeKx i really like that to be honest. It's more realistic. I know that the Monza SP1 isn't exactly a normal car but I hope you know what I'm saying
15 miles and he gets Doug to do a review... Respect
11:03 dialth and buttonth...
I cried at that point 😂😂😂
Jokes aside the Monza SP1 is a serious track toy.
I thought Doug would bring back going through the Doug Score one by one for this special car. It's way better than just showing the final score.
I agree. Apparently the reason why he's doing the Doug Score this way is that he feels like this way is more helpful then saying something like "comfort is normal for a car like this & it gets a 6 out of 10"
I wish Doug talked more about the air vent for creating a virtual windshield and how well it worked when driving.
I'm not sure he ever got to going fast enough for it to really make a difference. For a car that is meant for the race track I could see the virtual windshield not really kicking in until 80 or 90MPH. At the speeds he was going (seemingly no more than 40) I doubt the virtual windshield did much. It would have been great if he could have got the car on a race track and really tested it.
@@nanoflower1 right
@@Vision20005, I was waiting for Doug to inform us of how effective is the "SLOT", but... :(
He said it. It's for safety.
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.
Great review as always. Incredible car. I just want to point out how negative/unenthusiastic Doug seemed about the car… until he drove it. He was smiling ear to ear and seemed to be having the most fun driving it, then ranked it #3 of all time! I think it’s one of the coolest cars ever made and would LOVE to drive one.
Cheers to the guy who is rich enough and chill enough to let Doug be the first one to really drive it. The world owes you a debt of gratitude!
Drove behind an SP2 in central Beverly Hills for a while a few weeks ago. It sounded mean, but most supercars do when you never shift out of first, no matter the speed. The occupants definitely weren't wearing helmets. It was interesting, but not as beautiful as I had imagined that one would be in person.
Nice how Doug had a helmet, but didn't use the strap to secure it in case of an accident.
mostly as protection from rocks and bugs. If I had a rollover crash in a Monza thats not mine, I would hope for death.
youre the kinda guy that that watches a video and then gotta nit pick until you find a petty little thing. Kinda makes your whole day doesnt it
@@maxreimann6734 Safety and setting a good example for younger viewers is nitpicking? Why standup for something objectively stupid/lazy? On the bright side, at least he's not the type of guy upset about that type of guys comment 😂😘
fortunately i don’t think many young viewers have a 2 million ferrari at their disposal that they don’t know how to safely operate
@@maxreimann6734 Rocks and bugs yes, but probably also so you can actually hear him talk about the car during the drive. The purpose of the helmet was probably to stop wind pickup on his mic.
What a piece of art. Beautiful.
Just hope you'll ever get the chance to drive a Dutch, Donkervoort GTO-RS? Talking about no compromise roadster.
The passenger door doesn’t have the leather strap to open from inside.
Love your videos, thanks for the detailed information.
When I first watched Doug I thought his excitement and gestures were so over the top. Now, I find myself using some of his mannerisms. He's a unique voice in the automotive world, and that's great. 👌
Thiiiiiiis... Is something that I can relate to
Doug is just simply awesome 👍
🤮
They are deliberate to help keep all the a.d.d. kids attention and engaged for more than two minutes.
You definitely don’t want to act like that around mature, chemically balanced people.
Even he doesn’t.
@@jaxturner7288 The average internet user is so cynical we literally cringe at genuine enthusiasm. fucking hell
Good morning everyone, aaaaaand thiiisssss is today's presentation about the budget. Louise, if you could enlighten us about it's quirks and features?
250 TR became legend because it was driven and abused over some of the most iconic race tracks in history and literally earned astronomic price tags on it as one of the best racing cars.
SP1, albeit beautiful, (Ferrari red would made it even more attractive) is just another limited edition Ferrari that will never see any actual racing, serving only as one more financial asset in climate controlled garage of some multimillionaire.
Very fucking true, sp1 will never be old ferraris level of legend
500 isnt even limited edition tbh.
Fun fact: Zlatan owns one and he drives it daily during the summers
Gordon ramsay has an sp2

Absolutely loved it Doug. "You can carry a friend's bag, just not the friend to go with it!" LOL Great video.
Absolutely stunning car. Driving it on a race track must be so exciting and fun. Love it!
YES HES FINALLY GONNA REVIEW THE MIURA
This comment is as useful as a 4gb micro memory card
That's what I thought also.
Most people: Review car
Doug: hints a Lamborghini Muria video in a Ferrari Monza video
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. This vintage racer homage doesn't require the latest tech of the newer models either. Bridge gap with a fully capable platform and enjoy the open road or track in a way few will experience. Kudos Ferrari.
It's funny to me how the owners of $2.1M supercars tell Doug to go crazy test driving it, but I would feel funny lending my Corolla to a stranger
Cars that have been driven by Doug increase in value.
Damn, Doug really narrowing that list of legendary cars to review. With Miura and Jaguar XR-15 reviews now coming, there aren't many historic supercars left out there to review. Soon he will have done them all.
How do you know there' an AR-15 coming?! Holy wanker!
He Might Start Reviewing Tanks You Never Know 🤷
Also, Mercedes CLK GTR
@@yamatokawa He posted a photo with it on Instagram. I was also like "holy molly.."
It's not done until he does the CLK GTR
Few years after the Enzo was out they REALLY loosened up those “requirements” for obtaining certain cars. Used to have to check every box… now they’ll sell to almost anyone, that’s powerful, or really famous.
Having the change for one doesn't help a lot though. The dealership local to me told me to fuck off twice,.
@@GartenhausLP 🤣🤣
Not the case at all. It's harder than it's ever been to get the limited production models.
Bro Ferrari are so up themselves it’s hilarious.
@@GartenhausLP you can't pay the over to a flipper?
I actually recently saw this car on the street!!! I am from Europe, so here it's road legal, but still exceedingly rare so my jaw literally dropped, mostly because I am NOT from Monaco or downtown Paris! I can say, it is THE car with the most presence I have ever seen, period.
I saw 4 of these at Ferrari CF in April 2021. They are truly special. Made my Scuderia look ordinary next to them.
Big thanks Doug for your thorough review…. I was one of the Ferrari fan skeptics about this car until I saw an actual car last year. Many thanks again 🙏🇮🇹
One of the things I love when watching Doug enthusiastically review these cars is him nonchalantly leaning on them lol.
Aviator glasses also work when driving with no windshield, it’s how I drove my mx5 mazdaspeed with my entire head above the windshield
Seeing the passenger side details reminds me of seeing developer rooms in video games, where you can still explore them and tinker with some stuff, but it's incomplete and you were never meant to see it.
Finally! A car to seat all my friends
Rip
The Monza is actually street legal. Official Ferrari conversion kit for emissions is available. About a $60k add on.
Yep the windsheild isn't the reason it's not legal in the U.S. It's legal to drive windshieldless cars here just like motorcycles, you're just required to wear a helmet.
People that are nit picking that car probably won't be buying it. I am excited to see more rare cars like this. Especially since the Ferraris I got into were the F50 and F40.
See you in the next video Doug.
Dear Doug, I enjoy watching your videos. You and some guy from England videos on the Abarth 500 were great, I own one now.
Can you do a video on Lancia Delta S4 please?
Yesterday I searched up this car to see if Doug ever reviewed it and he just posted this, literally so cool👍
I couldn't wait for you to get this car. I live in Missoula Montana and I found it interesting that you informed us that it isn't street legal as I actually seen one on the road in the city. When I did I had no idea what I was seeing as I was a few cars back so I only seen the rear of it but I count myself very lucky to have seen this remarkable machine given it's rarity!
Miura as the C&B ad at the beginning!? THAT'S the review I want to see!!
Truly a beautiful car though like you said, I’d probably go for the SP2. Buying this car means owning a place in Europe where I can drive it on the streets. I have to imagine the owner is a “car guy” like the rest of us. The fact that he intends to take it onto the track speaks volumes. Props to him for sharing this special car and for telling you to flog it. I can’t imagine having the money to be able to purchase and afford all the ancillary expenses. If this was filmed in his garage then he’s really a car guy.
That's nuts. They should have just made the SP2 with an easily removable passenger seat and an optional passenger area panel if you wanted the solo feel.
It's marketing. By creating an impractical one-seater, you create more sales for the two-seater while maintaining the appeal of the one-seater. More sales$$$.
This thing cost Ferrari 80 grand to make. No reason to sell it for 2 millikn.
Some poor sap with more money than brains will buy an sp1 and sp2 thinking there is a huge difference
@@RealKlausSchwab as if cars were sold based solely on the building costs
They'd also have to provide 2 rear panels though, as there's only 1 hump on the SP1...
Honestly Doug , I've watched almost every video you've made and I've never been happier that you've made a shirt, I couldn't click buy fast enough , THIS, is my new T-SHIRT
They need a glass bubble option that fits right over the driver compartment for those bad weather days!
The back of it really looks like a TVR Tuscan, and that's one of the greatest compliments I can give a car.
Doug is the type of guy who uses the word, "TURN SIGNALLESSLY." Great review, Doug! Love seeing you geek out and gush over this car.
I really hope Doug gets to revisit the Enzo and drive it.
Same
Shame on Dutton Garage in Melbourne, Australia for not letting him drive the Enzo! In fact, he roasted them in his 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1 review.
Famous Ferrari collector David Lee does have an Enzo, so I do hope he drives that one.
I'm really glad you finally got a helmet. I couldn't help but be worried when you were out there in the BAC Mono and similar without one.
I get your feeling, it feels really good to drive something with all that open espace, also the rareness of the car is super FIRE!!
Doug, it has been quite a hoot watching you share the quirks and features of this nutty thing.
My guess for the glovebox and air vent in the "void": Ferrari start by making the SP2 model first (the one with a passenger seat), then delete stuff accordingly for those who order the SP1.
Hi Doug. Thanks. A suggestion: cover your throut when driving in open air.
I could totally feel your excitement, Doug!
I think it’s absolutely ridiculous for Ferrari to charge $2 million for a “special one-seater” car only to still cheap out and throw a cover over an existing, finished passenger compartment. So there really is no benefit to getting the one seater.
The benefit is exclusivity. Most customers will purchase the SP2.
There really is no benefit to buying this car over an 812 GTS, at least not $1.6 million worth of benefit.
@@muddystick And it's not even road legal, that's a dealbreaker.
@@v5k456jh3 It's perfectly road legal in Europe.
its not a finished passenger compartment, its the same body for both cars - the seating is different structurally.
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.
He's doing the quick Doug score again. The DougScore part is actually the best one. It's like the climax of the movie.
The fact that they didn't purpose built a one seater car but instead modded the SP2 into a 2 seater is a slap in the face to anyone spending $2000000 on this
I’m amazed that there’s actually a passenger door, glove box and air vent under that cover. They’re really just took out the seat and the parts behind it.
It's the same car with a sleaker design that harkens back to the 1 seater racecars. There would be no point in removing that stuff since it isn't visible.
@@EEvtg idk about you but if i go to buy a 1 seater car and find out that they literally only took out the seat itself and try to hide the other stuff with a panel then im bringing it back.
Maybe they tell you when you order it that that’s what they’re gonna do which is cool but if they dont we got a problem.
@@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.
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.
you can, but there's no second head protection thing on the passenger side, so it will be very dangerous in case of a rollover
@@vladvulcan True
I am intrigued by the wheels which appear to be almost a fan which is an idea I had several years ago to pull air out from underneath the car build wheels that were similar to a turbine or a fan blade reducing high pressure under the car and cooling the brakes. Ultimately they would be made out of carbon fiber to save weight.
Family friend owns an SP2 got to see it in person, didn't get to take it out yet but I'm sure ill get a ride. Unreal cars
to be honest, when I first saw pictures of this - I felt the same. "This is absolutely ridiculous and unusable, and I love every bit of it".
Ridiculous and beautiful car, but even though it has the virtual windshield, I still think it'd look great with a small windshield like the era of cars it emulates.
About a week ago i saw one in the local ferrari and OMG its beautiful
I would be even more interested in a review of that yellow Miura in the Cars and Bids promo portion
I'm honestly surprised it took Doug this long to review this car, even despite it's rarity. I've been waiting for him to review the Monza since it's release.
calm down simp
I love getting a sneak peek at what car Doug is reviewing next during the cars and bids promo :)
Lamborghini Miura
@@oludiranjohn4712 uh yea… that’s the car… what about it?
the intake that takes in air in front of the instruments that create that virtual windshield
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.
I think the hole is for the key tbh
If its intended for one driver for track use only, wouldn't it make sense to place the driver in the middle of the car (like a McLaren)?
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.
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...
Doug's the type of guy to drive a $2.5 million dollar car that he doesn't own, and still leave one hand free from the wheel at all times to gesture wildly.
I can watch doug review anything for a hours
The "virtual windshield" idea really reminds me of the ducted air "spoiler" on the Aston Martin DB11.
I see a missed opportunity to turn the blocked off passenger compartment into a second trunk. Make that panel remove able and take out the seat and boom, big space.
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)
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.
Doug: This car isn’t even street legal.
Also Doug: Now I’m going to drive this car on the street.
Just Doug things 😂🤌🤌
I could tell this was filmed at Thermal from the thumbnail. Driver heaven!
