Eye-popping Ferrari with most powerful engine EVER that can hit 60mph in just 2 secs hits auction – but has big drawback
THIS jaw-dropping Ferrari has the most powerful engine ever, but it has one major drawback.
The Ferrari Monza SP2 for sale goes from 0 to 60mph in an astonishing 2.9 seconds but this isn’t what makes it truly unique.
With all the aspects that make this supercar stand out, there is one surprising feature it’s missing – a windscreen.
The open-air sports car has a “Virtual Wind Shield” which is built into the panel in the front of the steering wheel.
Without a chunky glass windscreen, the model is more aerodynamic, making it even faster than its competitors.
Drivers can reach over and touch the sleek curvy bonnet of the Ferrari Monza SP2 while wearing their seatbelt.
Images show the open-air sports car finished in bright Rosso Corsa parked up somewhere sunny with a palm tree in the background.
With lift-up butterfly doors and a front panel that elevates the entire front, including the wing mirrors, the car looks nothing short of a transformer.
The Ferrari Monza SP2 darts across the racetrack with a top speed of 186mph and is only one of 499 built.
It has a naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, producing 799hp, and has been crowned Ferrari’s most powerful engine ever produced.
You can get your hands on this motor as it’s now on auction by SBX Cars, but only for a very limited time.
The listing reads: “This particular example is in brand-new condition, with its odometer showing only factory mileage.
“The car has a carbon fibre bodyshell and a carbon fibre one-piece bonnet wing.
“It is also fitted with 21-inch five-spoke wheels.”
Decorated with the recognisable Ferrari symbol and boasting a soft black leather interior, for what it’s lacking in windscreen it certainly makes up for in style.
“The Ferrari Monza SP2 represents the pinnacle of automotive excellence, combining timeless design, exhilarating performance, and unparalleled craftsmanship,” the listing continues.
“For those who appreciate the finer things in life, owning a Monza SP2 is an opportunity to experience the thrill of driving a true automotive masterpiece.”
Its bidding price is available on request but is sold at £1.4m a pop, according to Top Gear.
Incredible £9bn plan for UK’s LONGEST motorway tunnel that will cut journey times in half & ‘turbocharge the economy’
THE UK government is planning to build a huge, motorway-style tunnel in a project that would cost some £9 billion.
To be called the Lower Thames Crossing, the 14.3-mile route – which will be the longest of its kind in the UK – will run through Essex and Kent.
The incredible project, that would link the town of Tilbury in Essex to Medway in Kent, would also be connected to the A2 and M2 in Kent, as well as the A13 and M25 in Essex.
It would also provide transport links between London and crossings to Dover – which, of course, account for half of the goods traded between Britain and mainland Europe.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves discussed the endeavour at length on Wednesday and pledged to explore private financing options ahead of the Transport Secretary’s decision on its future in May.
First planned back in 2009, the Lower Thames Crossing would reportedly see 13 million vehicles redirected away from the heavily congested Dartford Crossing.
It’s been estimated that the costs of lost productivity from congestion on the Dartford Crossing have exceeded £200million each year, with the route disproportionately used by freight vehicles transporting goods.
Speaking to the Express, Natalie Chapman, Head of Public Affairs for Logistics UK, said: “Our biggest current challenge is that the Dartford Crossing, as it stands, is operating daily over its design capacity.
“At the moment, there’s very little alternative when things go wrong, as they regularly do.
“The only alternative route for lorries is around the M25 via Heathrow, which can add up to two hours to journey times.”
Chapman described the Chancellor’s support of the project as a vote of confidence in British business.
She added: “The channel ports are a key route for UK exports.
“Produce like Scottish fresh fish is time-sensitive and perishable, so it’s crucial that the businesses we represent can move it quickly.
“We factor transport costs into everything we buy and all consumers will pay for these prices on the shelves.”
At present, the future of the project hinges on the Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander, approving a development consent order by the deadline of 23 May.
Reeves’s endorsement has been described as a “promising sign” of the government’s willingness to direct private investment towards transport infrastructure.
The building of the Lower Thames Crossing would also have a positive impact on motorists; journey times at the Dartford Crossing would likely improve by around 30% and increase to 46% between Kent and Essex.
It’s also estimated that it would inject around £40bn into the UK economy.
Chapman added: “As soon as this road opens, people will start to feel the benefits.
“In the short term, it will create jobs in construction and supply and it has the potential to unlock growth and inward investment on both sides of the crossing.”
Road Haulage Association managing director Richard Smith also said Reeves’ endorsement of the project was “a major victory for our sector” that has the potential to “turbocharge the economy”.
He added: “After many years of delays … today’s announcement will be a welcome relief to operators of lorries, coaches and vans who must navigate the daily knock-on economic impact of persistent delays.”
Premier League closing in on EXTRA Champions League spot for next season after English clubs dominate European groups
THE Premier League has closed in on an extra place in next season’s Champions League after dominating the first phase of the new expanded competition.
Six of the Prem’s seven sides earned automatic qualification for the last 16 of their respective competitions, with Liverpool and Chelsea achieving top seeding spots and Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs in the top four.
It means that with the initial league phase of the three revamped competitions now concluded, English sides have picked up an average of 20.892 coefficient points.
That puts the Prem more than 3.7 points clear of third-placed Spain, the equivalent of 13 individual match wins, in the fight for an extra place in the elite competition.
And it gives Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Newcastle even more encouragement as they seek a place in the most prestigious club competition in football.
Across the 54 matches played by Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea – who had to play a two-legged Conference League qualifier, Prem sides have won 37 and lost just eight.
By contrast, Italy’s eight sides amassed 32 wins between them, losing 15, Spain clocked up 31 victories but had 19 defeats and Germany’s 29 triumphs were almost cancelled out by 26 losses.
And with Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa, Spurs, United and Chelsea all qualifying automatically for the last 16 of their respective competitions, the English sides have added a further 62.25 bonus points already.
England’s aggregate total of 146.25 points is the highest by 7.75pts, with Italy on 138.5 and Spain on 120.25.
But the position was strengthened by England having just seven teams in Uefa action, compared to the eight for Italy and Germany who earned an extra Champions League slot last term, as total points are then divided by the number of competing teams each nation has at the start of the season.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
While all the English sides have reached the knock-out phase, the other major nations have seen clubs fall at the league hurdle.
The Bundesliga lost both Leipzig and Stuttgart in the elite competition, while Bologna and Girona also missed the Champions League cut, meaning they cannot add to their countries’ totals.
Hoffenheim made an early Europa League exit as did French outfit Nice – also part of United chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe‘s Ineos sporting empire.
That means Germany are almost out of contention already.
England’s huge advantage – plus the European form of the teams – means it would need a huge meltdown when the teams return to Uefa action for fifth place in the Prem not to earn a place among Europe’s elite.
Despite their Prem wobbles, United and Spurs are now on course for a potential Europa League final showdown in Bilbao after finishing third and fourth in the league phase.
It means they cannot play each other until the Final, when a sixth Champions League spot would also be on the line.
Germany’s debacle leaves the Bundesliga fifth and more than six full coefficient points behind England, with Italy and Spain seemingly fighting for the second extra slot
My baby works three hours a day to make £400 as a model but parents must know this phrase to guarantee a hefty paycheck
MANY mums will think their baby is cute enough to be a model, but they’ll be surprised to find out how much their little one could actually earn from the hustle.
It’s an interestingly lucrative career for a tot, and with the hours so short it’s easy to fit around a busy family lifestyle.
And if you’re worried about putting money aside for your child’s future, it could be an excellent way to rake in some quick cash for them.
One parent has taken to TikTok to tell viewers just how simple it is to get signed up – although there’s one golden phrase parents must have heard before they get started.
Savvy mum Honey Rene (@honeyyrene) shared a video to TikTok, telling followers: “Dem coins is huge! Secure the kids future!”
In her video, she tells viewers how her daughter earns a whopping £400 a day – all for being fabulously photogenic.
As a child model, her baby works just three hours a day, meaning it’s a really quick way to earn a lot of cash.
Some of the biggest child modelling agencies
- Bonnie & Betty Agency
- Norrie Carr Agency
- Bruce & Brown
- Alphabet Kidz
- Scallywags
- Bizzy Kidz
Honey told viewers: “This is how you’re gonna do it for your child, okay?
“You have to make sure your child is cute. Not just you thinking your child is cute, someone else has to have said, bro, your child’s cute.”
Honey then references another video she has posted to her other TikTok page (@hr.motherhood), where she’s listed her top child modelling agencies.
Honey also gave a kind warning to those interested – telling them to avoid any agency that wants to charge a fee, or demands money for a portfolio.
“The best thing is it’s free. You don’t spend any money. Any agency that asks you to spend money is a scam.
“You don’t spend any money. You don’t need a portfolio. You just take a picture of your child on your iphone.”
Honey reminded people that it was essential they’d heard the one key phrase – that somebody else had said their baby is cute.
She emphasised that believing it yourself isn’t enough as, of course, everybody thinks their own child is adorable!
Viewers in the comments loved the advice and were quick with witty replies.
One person said: “Talk about a return on investment!”
While another said: “I like the part where you said not just you thinking your child is cute cah [sic] people actually get this mixed up.”
And someone else joked: “Saving this for 2044.”
While another person quipped: “My mum missed out on the opportunity big time.”
England given just TWO PER CENT chance of winning Six Nations predicts supercomputer and 0.5% of completing Grand Slam
ENGLAND have been given just a TWO PER CENT chance of winning the Six Nations this year, according to a supercomputer.
The Six Nations kick off today with France taking on Wales.
Scotland will take on Italy on Saturday afternoon before holders Ireland get their title defence underway against the Three Lions in the evening.
However, a supercomputer has predicted the outcome of the 2025 tournament and revealed what chance there is of completing a Grand Slam – when one team beats all the others in a single year.
Opta Analyst‘s supercomputer believes Steve Borthwick‘s England side are huge outsiders to claim a first Six Nations crown since 2020.
The supercomputer has given England just a two per cent chance of winning the Six Nations, marginally ahead of Italy on 0.5 per cent with Wales set to take the Wooden Spoon with a 0.2 per cent chance.
Scotland are third favourite with a five per cent backing, while France ranks second with a 29 per cent chance with Ireland having a 63 per cent chance of winning the title for the third year running.
This would be a historic feat considering the Six Nations has not seen a three-peat winner before.
The last time it happened was back when it was still the Five Nations with France in 1986 -1989, though two of those four titles were shared with Scotland in 1986 and Wales in 1988 respectively.
However, the supercomputer reckons there will not be a Grand Slam in 2025.

As Ireland aims for a hat-trick of Six Nations titles, Simon Easterby will take charge of his first game against England while Andy Farrell is with the British and Irish Lions.
The supercomputer does not believe even the Wolfhounds will come through with a perfect record, only handing them a 32.71 per cent chance.
France have been given a 12.62 per cent chance at completing a Grand Slam.
Scotland’s 1.82 per cent makes them the only other nation the supercomputer gives an above one per cent chance of achieving the feat.
England, Italy and Wales all sit on 0.49 per cent, 0.09 per cent and 0.01 per cent respectively.
Given that 2024 was the tightest edition of the tournament since Italy joined in 2000, the supercomputer believes more of the same could be present this year.
However, a number of untimely injuries to Wales’ squad have raised questions over how Warren Gatland’s Dragons will cope.
But the computer has not just predicted overall winners and losers, it has also made its choice for the tournament’s top scorer.
Frenchman Louis Bielle-Biarrey, 21, is being backed to score the most tries following a blistering Autumn Series that saw him land four tries.
