So she breaks cover at last. +512! I would trade this car for a 458 and a Boxer anyday. Oh wait a minute, in one month I've got those two. I am a lucky man indeed. To me, the Boxer touches are contrived and it doesn't really work on the 458 base. Onno
Add a triangular intake on the door 288/308/328/F40 style, and it would be nearly a perfect modern car IMO.
I actually kind of like it in a retro sort of way. Front end looks better than the new FF/F12 front ends IMVHO.

Had a look at the car last night - looked really good BTW apparently it was delivered a few months ago but has only just been road registered with the plate to match the car name Image Unavailable, Please Login
Enzo headlights can be used as they already meet regulations. Building bespoke headlights and meeting regulations and testing requirements is VERY expensive.
I wasn't sure on the 12 part of the name. I assumed due to the V12 engine, but it seems unclear if that is actually the powerplant. The new '12' registration plates came out on March 1st in the UK so it fits with that if nothing else! Personally I quite like it, but some details in the execution don't quite work for me.
It's on GTspirit as of this morning. http://www.gtspirit.com/2012/03/22/spotted-eric-claptons-ferrari-v12-boxer-tribute/
+1 horrible but i'm sure eric couldn't care less about my opinion as i'm sure he's delighted with it as they made it to his specifications
I actually don't mind it .. have we got confirmation that it is a V8 & not a V12? Certainly the number plate would suggest V12 at least
A couple glimpses of it and some other eye candy... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrrjhBeJB4[/ame]
Apparently, the conversion cost three million pounds. If thats true, Id certainly want my V12 in there at that cost, if I were Mr Clapton.
