French Montana is flexing his wealth on his holiday in Dubai like no other. The rapper showed the car he rented for the days spent in the United Arab Emirates, a Ferrari Monza SP2, and noted it has “no windshield wipers,” joking that it's "disrespectful" at that price. As you may know, the SP2 is a car with no windshield and no top.
Karim Kharbouch, better known by his stage name French Montana, is a Moroccan-American rapper who reached a net worth of $22 million.

One of his passions includes cars, and he has some expensive models in his collection. He owns a Bugatti Veyron, which has a price of around $1.9 million, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a Wraith, plus a Laraki Epitome, which comes with a price tag over $2 million.

So, it’s not surprising at all to see that French Montana went for a Ferrari Monza SP2 on his holiday in Dubai, UAE. The rapper shared a short video on his social media showing him behind the wheel of the speedster introduced by the Italian automaker as part of the Icona Series.

With a design that blends both the modern and the timeless authenticity of Ferrari, the super-exclusive supercar is quite a sight. And, as you might expect from the famous supercar manufacturer, it’s also very powerful. Under its hood, it comes with a 6.5-liter turbocharged V12 engine from their 812 Superfast models, and, paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, it sends resources to the rear wheels, delivering 809 horsepower (820 ps) at 8,500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 530 lb-ft (719 Nm) at 7,000 revs.

With these figures, it can’t be anything but incredibly fast, whizzing to 62 mph (100 kph) from a standstill in only 2.9 seconds, with a maximum speed of 189 mph (299 kph).

Montana’s rented supercar was finished in Rosso Corsa, and he jokes in the caption that: “DISRESPECTFULLY, 3 million dollar car with no windshield wipers.” Although he says that it’s worth $3 million, the Monza SP2 is rated around $1.8 million. The rapper points out the lack of windshield wipers in the video, too, as he slowly drives away. And he couldn’t look cooler in the roofless, windshield-less, and passenger-less two-seater.
