    Wowza. That's...busier than I expected.

    That said, if the owner likes it, that's all that matters.

    Any chance of getting a straight-on view of the front fascia?

    I guess I have not been paying attention ... is this something Ferrari put together for one customer?

    The rear view looks better than the standard one, IMO.

    Its a very very expensive uglier F12. How pointlessly vain these projects are.

    Unless there is some rework of the engine or suspension, that is one expensive body kit.

    I like it though. Looks like it has some 275 cues.

    Rick, yes.

    I think the final result is good looking and its nice that Ferrari does these special projects. They make the world more interesting and if the owner gets more of an experience out of it, and every time he/ she looks at it, they feel a bit more special- then I say well done.

    I think a lot of us look at these cars and think about the financial side, and that is important, but Ferrari is about dreams and some dreams cost more. :)

    Thank you for posting these pictures. Really cool.

    there are tons of "one off" that came out. They are overdoing it. The fasnination of a one of a kind ferrari has faded fast.

    I think people that whine about on off's being a waste are just like other people who say that Ferrari's are a waste, since a GTR can beat it around the track.

    Pros: Got rid of that retarded middle brake light.
    Cons: Changed the rest of the car.

    Not my cup of tea. Wonder what it cost.

    I believe that SP projects start about Two Million. Clapton's was rumored to be $4 million; the SP 1 was $2.5. Kalikow's SuperAmerica 45 was reported to be 2 million.

    This one has to be at least that much.

    I'd love to see the aerodynamic video with the smoke on that one. Some very interesting aero parts.

    As for the car itself, not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the effort.

    IMHO F12 TRS looks more beautiful and has many great design features.

    Good luck to the owner, I hope he/she enjoys it in good health.

    The point of the special program isn't to impress we owners of generic Fcars, it's about pleasing the owner. I'm sure the owner is very happy.

    What does the name plate on the dash say for these cars? What is it called on the govt registration card? I'm thinking it still says F12 right?

    Not quite front-on, but this is one of the first pics that surfaced of the car. Is the car in NY?
