Ferrari 458 Italia SP12 - Eric Clapton

+1

 

Is that a "wow" good or "wow" bad?

 

There is also a rumor that an in indian guy ordered a one-off based on the 599 or the GTO. I don't think there is a SP3 because there isn't a single pic or info about it

 

as a BB owner i appreciate the effort but regrettably not the outcome...

 

If Eric likes it, that's good enough for me. But, I think I would have been a lot less literal.

 

I think that a lot of people are going to change their opinions about the appearance of this vehicle for the better once some quality pictures are released or leaked.

 

No doubt it will be featured in the Official Magazine shortly

 

WOW good. I love that.

 

Some 3 years ago there were rumours that is it based od 599 and inspired by 410 Superamerica... and that SP4 will be based on Enzo/FXX...

 

...and I read on this forum about a gullwing Ferrari?

In case anyone is wondering, the 599 V12 was never fitted. It is "just" a 458 in a Boxer party frock.

 

The rear looks cool but not with the rest of the car!

 

The rear bumper looks incomplete painted grey. It should be painted black to match the rest of the trim.

 

I have to say. I like it. Something about it just gets it for me. Really like it.

Congrats Mr Clapton!

Same here. I had much higher expectations for this.

Jim, has even P4/5C even approached this cost, with essentially everything but part of the basic frame and block, bespoke to the car, and not just a "body kit" (what else to call......this?)?

I certainly hope Mr. Clapton is happy with it.

 

I guess that was shot with a 'spy' cam, hence the shakes. The plastic grey looks a bit odd. Kinda Maca F1 from the back, though not as resolved.

 

No P 4/5 CM and two years of racing including KERS will be less than this cost.

 

So no V12 and $4M for a fancy body kit?

 

Just..............OUCH. About what I figured.

 

WOW! I actually like it LESS now. The boxer paint going up the side to the rear is really bad. It totally clashes with the angles of the lower tray.

Ugh! Sorry Eric!

I didn't like when Lambo made their idiotic Muira concept and I see this in somewhat the same light. It's not better. If it's not better, then why do it?

 

The only reason I cared about this was because it would be a v12.

Highly disappointed!

 

I don't believe this one cost $4.5M it's just BS rumor
If it's true then Eric Clapton has gone insane

 

I really like it. Looks great.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

You could set up your own rental fleet of Boxers for that!
