Beauties to Behold Even After 2,500 Years www.wheelswithinwales.uk Beauties to behold even after 2,500 years Published: 12th March 2021 Author: Robin Roberts Online version: https://www.wheelswithinwales.uk/beauties-to-behold-even-after-2500-years/ A mathematical ratio dating back 2,500 years has been used to analyse the aesthetics of performance cars over the last 70 years. The study conducted by carwow analysed the proportions of 197 of the world’s most powerful cars and then compared them to ‘the golden ratio’ – a mathematic measure for perfect proportions. The top 10 is dominated by classic sports cars from the 60s and 70s, but it’s the 2019 Ferrari Monza SP1 that takes the top spot as the world’s most beautiful performance car, according to science. Ferrari states the limited-edition Monza SP is “probably the closest and purest driving www.wheelswithinwales.uk experience to Formula 1”. With a top speed of more than 186 mph, and fewer than 500 likely to be produced, it’s rare, fast, valuable, and also the closest performance car in the world to mathematical design perfection. The Ferrari Monza SP is in fact the only car from the last decade to make the top 10. Seven of the top 10 are from the 1960s, and the remaining 2 are from 1974. And although the winning Ferrari is a modern car, Ferrari states the design of The Monza SP1 uses a ‘modern aesthetic to reinterpret a timeless style’ which once and for all proves the classics really are the most beautiful. Three other Ferraris also appear in the top 10; What Is the Golden Ratio and How Is It Used? the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale in third, the Historically used by architects and artists in pursuit of 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO in fifth and the 1967 perfection, and famously used in Michelangelo’s painting, Ferrari 330 P4 in seventh, taking the Italian car The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel designer’s top 10 total to four – the highest of – The golden ratio is used as a benchmark for ideal all manufacturers. proportions and beauty.

  • Pirelli-Ferrari Monza-Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE A NEW CHAPTER FOR PIRELLI AND FERRARI: BESPOKE P ZERO RUBBER FOR THE FERRARI MONZA, MARANELLO’S FIRST CAR WITH 21-INCH TYRES AT THE PARIS MOTOR SHOW, THE FERRARI MONZA SP1 AND SP2 WILL SHOWCASE TYRES SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED TO MATCH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LIMITED EDITION SPORTS CAR Paris, October 2, 2018 – The traditional collaboration between Pirelli and Ferrari starts another chapter inspired by the open-topped racing cars of the 1950s, brought right up to date with the latest technology from Maranello: the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2. These limited edition cars – highlighting a new “Icon” range – reinterpret the open cars that used to dominate the Mille Miglia and World Sports Car Championship. Pirelli has created a bespoke P Zero for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, starting with a precise requirement for the car’s development: 21-inch diameter tyres. This choice has been made for the first time in Ferrari’s history, presenting Pirelli’s engineers with the challenge of offering the usual levels of stiffness, comfort and performance that is synonymous with Ferrari, despite the record size. The front P Zero tyres also have the crucial task of faithfully conveying to the driver what the road is doing via the steering wheel, in order to maximise driving pleasure. Furthermore, the tyres had to play their part in keeping weight to a minimum on the new car. To achieve this, instead of the traditional reinforced textiles, the bead area was redesigned to maintain lateral rigidity while minimising weight: this solution has saved 1.2 kilograms.

September 2018 seinen Aktionären die Produkt- und Vertriebs-Strategien für die nächsten vier Jahre. Investoren dürfen sich auf ein sattes Wachstum freuen, das, wie Marketing- und Vertriebschef Enrico Galliera ankündigt, in erster Linie durch eine Ausweitung der Modellpalette ins Segment der alltagstauglichen viersitzigen Sportnutzfahrzeuge erwirtschaftet werden soll – die griffige Abkürzung mit den drei Großbuchstaben darf man ja in Gegenwart des neuen Ferrari-Geschäftsführers Louis C. Camilleri nicht mehr aussprechen. „Purosangue“ soll das neue Modellsegment heißen, „Vollblüter“, und es wird sich einreihen in die Kategorie Gran Turismo, die bis 2021 eine komplette Hybrid- Modellpalette anbieten soll. Die Kategorie Sportwagen mit ihren fahraktiven Zweisitzern für Straße und Rennstrecke wird ebenfalls mit neuen Technologien hochgerüstet und soll die Führungsposition von Ferrari in diesem Segment zementieren. Erheblich aufgewertet wird die „Special Series“ mit ihren limitierten Editionen und Einzelstücken, die seit wenigen Monaten um die exklusiven Modelle der Linie „Icona Ferrari“ ergänzt wird.

  • The Fastest Ferrari Monza Was an 857S Built for Playboy Team Boss John Edgar
    Ex-Gendebien, Ginther, Shelby... and Warhol? The fastest Ferrari Monza was an 857S built for playboy team boss John Edgar. It was once owned by a Pop Art legend, says Mick Walsh, who is captivated by its colourful past PHOTOGRAPHY JAMES MANN Turn 6, his blue 121LM nearly cannoning back across the narrow track and hitting the 857S. Edgar’s frustration with Ferrari continued following a second 3½-litre engine failure during first practice at Cumberland in May. The straight-talking American threatened to sell his Ferraris and switch to Porsche, so a humbled Enzo instructed its immediate return for a rebuild. Having just sold several inherited farms in Ohio, Edgar was richer than ever. First he ordered a 410 Sport, then he signed up Shelby for his team. The tall Texan much preferred the big V12, but still drove the 857S on a regular basis through ’56, winning at Seattle, Mont- gomery and Mansfield. The fact that Enzo had sold Edgar a ‘used’ race car partly fuelled Shelby’s distrust of Ferrari, a feud that would continue with the Cobra and GT40. The Texan’s last drive in the 857S was at Pomona in ’57, but he went off into the hay bales with brake failure. After the body had been bashed out, Edgar sold 0588/M to Stan Sugarman, an Arizona industrialist who enlisted McAfee – and later Ginther – to drive it. The young, crew-cut Californian Ginther finished fourth at the first Laguna Seca meeting. America’s amateur racing scene had slowly started to turn more professional, with paid driv- ers, start money and bigger prizes.

  • NOVITEC Refines the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 Roadsters Engine
    NOVITEC refines the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 roadsters Engine tuning to 621 kW / 844 hp with fine gold plated high-performance exhaust system made from INCONEL Hi-tech forged wheels with 21 and 22-inch diameters Never before did a street-legal Ferrari sports car deliver a driving experience as close to a Formula 1 racecar as the two open-top "Icona" special models Monza SP1 and SP2. These two roadsters are designed in the "barchetta" style lacking a large windshield and are a reminiscence of the Ferrari classics 166 MM, 750 Monza and 860 Monza. NOVITEC makes this experience even more intense: With engine tuning to 621 kW / 844 hp resulting from the installation of a tailor-made high-performance exhaust system and metal catalysts. The exhaust comes with optional 999 fine gold plating that dissipates heat particularly effectively. In concert with sport springs, staggered hi-tech forged wheels with diameters of 21 and 22 inches make the handling even more agile. They were developed specifically for these single-seat or two-seat roadsters in cooperation with American wheel manufacturer Vossen. Fitting the model designation, the photos show the SP1 refined by NOVITEC at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. The single-seat Ferrari Monza SP1 like its two-seat counterpart is powered by the most potent twelve-cylinder engine in the history of the sports car manufacturer from Maranello. In order to optimize the performance of the 6.5-liter engine further, the power unit experts of NOVITEC, the world-renowned refinement specialist for Ferrari automobiles, developed a high-performance exhaust system with metal catalysts.
