Nice One Mr. Clapton!

having crashed one Ferrari 512 in his collection,

famous Guitar legend Eric Clapton commissioned Ferrari Special Projects program to build him another one, this time a one off bespoke Ferrari, who says money does not talk? He worked alongside the company's secretive 'Special Projects' division to rebody a Ferrari 458 Italia, it has come to light that the car hasn't even got an official name but it carries a distinctive registration plate of SP 12 EPC, it is understood SP stands for Special Projects and EPC is the star's initials,


despite spending a fourtune on the one-off, Clapton's Ferrari has the same performance as the £173,000 donor car, Clapton was rumoured to have wanted a V12 engine fitted but Ferrari refused to adjust the car's engine, gearbox or suspension, but it is still a blisteringly quick supercar - accelerating from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 202mph thanks to the 562bhp V8 engine, how much to make Ferrari jump and build you one? it cost cool hand a cool £3,000,000, now where did I put my cheque book?
