Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2

Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2

Ferrari Monza is a series of race cars built by Ferrari in the 1950s. For the 1952 and 1953 Formula One seasons contested to Formula Two rules with a maximum capacity of 2000cc, Scuderia Ferrari shifted from using the compact Gioacchino Colombo-designed V12 engine in its smallest class of sports racers to a line of four-cylinder engines designed by Aurelio Lampredi. This led to the Ferrari Tipo 500 with 500cc per cylinder. The 1953 version with same 500 cylinder size was called 553.
