After images of Ferrari's new limited-run supercar, called the Monza, were leaked online, the iconic Italian brand has releases official shots of the ultra-exclusive model. And it's one hell of a showstopper.
Photos and video taken on Tuesday at a behind-closed-doors event for the Italian manufacturer's most loyal customers previewed the new machine's extreme design that's crafted around the shape of racing cars from the 1950s.
But instead of those grainy smartphone shots, these are the beautiful pictures released by Ferrari.
It confirmed that two variants will be available - the SP1, with a single-seat layout and a two-seat SP2 version, both of which come with no roof and Ferrari claims will feel like an F1 car to drive.
Stunner: These are the first images of the glorious limited-edition Ferrari Monza, which was first shown at a behind-closed-doors even in Maranello on Tuesday
Monza for one: Buyers will have the choice of this single-seater Monza SP1 or the addition of a second seat for a passenger for the equally beautiful Monza SP2
Having been first shown at a private viewing held at Ferrari's headquarters, more details about the limited-edition supercar were released on Tuesday evening.
The company said the car will be aimed at the brand's 'dedicated clients and collectors' and will hark back to the iconic Ferrari racing barchettas of the past, including the 1948 166 MM and the 750 and 860 Monza.
Just 500 will reportedly be built and cost in excess of £1million each.
The SP1 is said to be designed as an 'uncompromising single-seat road car' while the SP2 extends that package to include a passenger.
The second configuration also get the addition of a second protective screen and a second roll-bar.
It will be powered by the most potent engine the Maranello outfit has ever made available for the road - an 810hp 6.5-litre V12, which is an upgraded version of the same motor used in the existing 812 Superfast.
The limited run car - of which only 500 will be made - will be available as a single-seat SP1 or this beautiful two-seat SP2 version
The car will be based on the current Ferrari 812 Superfast and use the same 6.5-litre V12 engine, though upgraded for better performance
With 810hp, it's the most potent road car Ferrari has ever released. It will accelerate at a lightening pace, hitting 62mph from a standstill in just 2.9 seconds
That means it will accelerate at a lightening pace, hitting 62mph from a standstill in just 2.9 seconds. The 124mph mark is smashed in just 7.9 seconds, Ferrari states.
As for the top speed, though unconfirmed, it is likely to exceed the 211mph maximum of the 812 Superfast.
This is mainly thanks to the Monza weighing in significantly lighter than the model it's based on - in part because it has no roof at all.
Ferrari confirmed the entirety of the bodywork is carbon fibre, while the chassis is said to be aluminium to make it as flyweight as possible.
Up front, the low-slung nose is similar to a 1950s racer, while the rear is a simple design with a full-width light bar and quad exhaust outlets
The elegant design of the Monza harks back to racing barchettas of the 1950s, with the interior materials designed to replicate the style of those found in Ferraris half a century ago
The result of having no roof at all means the exposed cabin gives the driver a feeling of blistering speed that is 'normally only experienced by Formula 1 drivers', according to Ferrari
The Italian supercar builder said the form of the vehicle is based around an aerodynamic wing profile, with the complete absence of a roof and windscreen allowing the design team to create some incredible angles.
The result of an exposed cabin also creates a blistering feeling of speed Ferrari says is 'normally only experienced by Formula 1 drivers'.
Up front, the low-slung nose is similar to a 1950s racer, while the rear is a simple design with a full-width light bar and quad exhaust outlets.
The flanks of the Monza taper dramatically towards the rear, exposing a pair of haunched wheel arches at the back.
The stunning design is part of Ferrari's new mission to create a stream of limited-edition, high-cost, models
Both versions of the Monza feature upward-opening doors and a clamshell bonnet that can be lifted forward to expose the powerhouse of an engine underneath
Other styling highlights include upward-opening doors and a clamshell bonnet that can be lifted forward to expose the powerhouse of an engine lurking underneath.
While extreme in its design, it's not entirely unique.
Jaguar's £130,000 F-Type Project 7 - of which 250 we made in 2015 - has a similar finned read deck, while the 75-only £1million Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss from 2009 also has an exposed cabin with tiny windscreens for the driver and passenger.
Ferrari says the Monza will be aimed at the brand's 'dedicated clients and collectors', which will ultimately mean a huge price tag
We have seen similar examples before, such as the £130k Jaguar F-Type Project 7 (left). The closest thing to the Monza is possibly the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss (right), which cost around £1m and only 75 we made
The Monza is part of Ferrari's latest efforts to double its profits to 2billion euros ($2.3billion) by 2022 with increased production volumes, new limited-run cars like this and a forthcoming SUV
The Monza - which shares its name with the famous Italian race track - will be the first new model launched since the passing of chief executive Sergio Marchionne in July.
Part of his plans were for the brand to increase its production volumes and grow the number of limited-run special models.
New chief executive officer Louis Camilleri will now look to spearhead the project, which aims to double the company's profit to 2billion euros ($2.3billion) by 2022.
Want one? Being a limited edition Ferrari, the likelihood is that all of them are already promised to valued customers
Reports suggest the Monza (left) will be heavily based on the Ferrari 812 Superfast (right) and uses the same engine
Back in May, Ferrari revealed the last example of a special edition model. Called the SP38 and revealed in May, it's a one-off car based on the 488.
Ferrari is also due to release its first ever SUV as part of the project.
Despite no price being quoted by Ferrari, the exclusivity of the model is likely to see it carry a price tag in excess of £1million.
Ferrari's last limited-edition open top car - the LaFerrari Aperta - cost £1.6million.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
