Horsepower Hunt
Maison Classiqs is not horsing around—it’s galloping into legendary territory with these two Ferraris: Is it the Monza SP1 or the F12tdf for you?
Stablemates
Featured Cars: Ferrari Monza SP1, F12tdf
Some of Ferrari’s most recent releases were widely discussed—and none of them featured a V12. Which is, in its own right, a statement. After all, the V12 is synonymous with the Prancing Horse, serving as the very soul of the brand. To celebrate this heritage, we paired two of the most desirable modern-day Ferraris powered by this mythical engine with a different kind of horse. Stablemates, so to speak. Let’s dive in.
The Monza SP1 is pure art on wheels—sculpted by the very air it is designed to slice through. An element you experience directly, completely unburdened by a windshield. This is purism perfected and pushed to the absolute limit. Its 812-derived V12 churns out 810 hp, catapulting the speedster to 100 km/h in a mere 2.9 seconds. Raw thrill, unfiltered by digital noise. That uncompromising approach is equally evident in the single-seater cockpit, where not even a passenger can distract from the drive.
On the other side of the stable: the F12tdf. Connected by its V12 lineage, yet the ultimate track-focused GT by design. Built as a hardcore tribute to the legendary Tour de France road races of the 1950s and 60s, this special edition of the F12berlinetta pairs extreme dynamic agility with staggering long-distance capability. With 780 hp under the hood, it stands as a fierce reminder of just how devastatingly potent a front-engine V12 can be.
And then, there’s the horse. A very special thoroughbred valued at a whopping 6 million US Dollars—making the two Ferraris almost look like bargain by comparison. So, which would you choose: 810, 780, or the one very special horsepower?
