    These One Off cars always have a tinge of weird about them. There rear view is almost as bad as the 812 - but not quite! :) - but the front is nice, if a bit bland.

    To take anything away I do like the new 3 layer metallic red. It's a really nice colour.

    I think both of them are about equal in appeal. :)

    I like it. But SP38? Have they built so many?

    It doesnt look bad but it looks a lot like the 458MM and J50.

    The number looks a bit random - Eric Clapton's car was called SP12 and it was certainly not the 12th Special Project.

    I think the only good looking car they make currently is the Pista.

    To me it looks as if the customer wanted a lambo but made by ferrari and with ferrari badge on it. So, for me it is a no-no. And I can't really see ferrari's future design language here (hopefully).
    Thankfully it is only a one-off. (Relief)

    My guess is the customer had a meaningful amount of say in the design of the car. It makes sense for someone who may not be a professional designer to point to existing work for inspiration and guidance.

    Well, talking, in general, let's say that the last beautiful car Ferrari made was the 599 GTO!

    No, no at all Napoli. Just some models are too futuristic for my taste. I really like the F12 and the TdF version but i think some cars are more classic designed than others.

    The car is very nice, but it's a mess of inspirations. Huracan front lights, Lancia Stratos engine lid and side, F50 rims. The rear is too complicate and bad looking. The best thing is the doors concealed Intercoolers air intakes

    Ciao

    Very strange... The car looks very good, no doubt about that, but somehow it doesn't have the lines of a Ferrari... It looks more like a hybrid between a Huracan and a Lancia Stratos :D

    Marcel, I assume that the successful French entrepreneur and Ferrari Corse Clienti GT driver, also recently praised by the Enzo Ferrari Museum, has some connection to this SP38. To what extent does the owner of such one-off project contribute to the design and development of this car. Could you shed some light on this?

    The front and side views are nice with a bit Lancia Stratos and the B Boxer(the bicolor red top black bottom style) thrown in. The rear, I agree, is a mess and the louvres will never see the light of day again.

    umm..it has some good spots here and there. overall better looking than the 458mm. but it looks like other non-ferrari cars out there too, ford gt and evora to name a few.
