The car has been delivered to Mr Clapton apparently. Not seen pics of the finished car - hopefully some time in March I am told.

It's supposed to look like a rebodied 512 boxer -- not a 458. It's a 458 under the skin but looks like a boxer on the outside.

That's the latest rumor.

Yes but that's the latest.

That's correct and from early pics I saw it looks stunning. But then the 512 had great proportions.

Any Update on this? I'll be in Maranello with my wife & kids late March.
Would love to see this car....

Me too. It's amazing that there are no pictures of this car (yet).

There have been no reliable reports of a 458 with a V12 engine and someone at a reasonably high level in the factory actually told me it couldn't be done due to homologation issues w.r.t. EU law.

One of the 5 dozen people in the world Ferrari would do such a car for.

**TexasF355F1** · #37 03-09-2012, 01:30 PM

I can't believe no pics have ever surfaced on this.

At some point it has to make it's debut......just how long do we have to wait though?

Edit: I found this. Maybe?

I read in last month Forza that there are a few Special cars made that (Custom) that are secret. They apparently delivered 10 custome one off already and i only know of

SP1 (China)
612 K
SA 45
P540 Superfast Aperta

Is Clapton's car part of these 10 custom one offs?

I would love to know more about the missing 6...
