Gordon Ramsay's Ferrari Monza SP2 Looks Delicious
Good thing the roofless ride is inside because it's raining outside.

When not cooking meals or screaming at people on TV, Gordon Ramsey is apparently a Ferrari fan. This video offers a look at all of the details of his Monza SP2. Ramsay doesn't appear in the video but plenty of other supercars do.

Ramsay opts for an elegant paint scheme of a black body with a horizontal red stripe across the hood and a matching shade for the driver's nacelle. With no roof, the red leather seats contribute to the classy look. The wheels have a gunmetal finish and five, propeller-shaped spokes.

The Ferrari Monza SP2 and its single-seat sibling the SP1 share their underpinnings with the 812 Superfast but with radically different styling that takes inspiration from Ferrari's 1960s race cars. Power comes from a 6.5-liter V12 making 809 horsepower (603 kilowatts). The automaker reports the models hit 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 2.9 seconds and a top speed in excess of 186 mph (300 kph).

Without a roof or even a full windshield, the Monza SP2 isn't an ideal vehicle to drive during rainy weather, and it's sprinkling in this video. Maybe, Ramsay can get a passenger to hold an umbrella for the drive home. Ferrari fits the roadster with a Virtual Wind Shield that diverts airflow away from occupants when on the road, but this tech probably doesn't prevent getting wet during a drizzle.

Ferrari is only making a total of 499 units of the SP1 and SP2, putting Ramsay in an exclusive group of owners. At a price of around $2 million, the chef made a hefty investment to put the rare machine in his garage. It earned a spot next to his LaFerrari and LaFerrari Aperta.
