What does your car say about you? People assume that if you drive a Ferrari Monz, you’re either rich or a jerk

NO WINDSHIELD? No roof? No problem! The new limited-edition Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, priced at around US$1.85 million, made appearances at the Paris Auto Show last week. The Italian sports car manufacturer said that all 499 of the retro-racers sold out before the car even hit the market.

The 1950s-inspired topless machines, available in both a single or two-seater options, are part of a special edition range called ‘Icona’ – a series of vehicles inspired by legendary Ferrari Sports cars of the past.

The carbon-fibre, 810-horsepower speedster carries a 12cylinder engine and will be capable of sprinting to 124 miles per hour in under eight seconds, according to the company. It has a maximum speed of 186 miles per hour.

But Ferrari owners of older models say that you don’t have to pay over a million US bucks to enjoy the luxury supercar experience.

“I paid less for my Ferrari than most soccer moms pay for their SUV. You don’t have to be rich. You just have to be savvy,” said Daniel Hurlbert, a 38-year-old owner of a 2005 Ferrari F430.

The Austin, Texas, resident bought his used automobile two years ago. He started a YouTube channel called Normal Guy Supercar to offer tutorials on how to maintain the sports car and moderates a Facebook group for verified Ferrari owners.

His YouTube channel has over 11,000 subscribers.
