I really quite like it. Calling it the SP12, does that mean this is the 12th Special Edition Ferrari have made. I'm aware of a few of them (first one based on a 430 i think went to China, a 599 Superamerica), but can anyone fill in the gaps?
A reference to the alleged number of cylinders perhaps?

Mind you even Mercedes badge their cars incorrectly these days. I'm not sure their marketing boys have even read a spec sheet on their own car engines.

Seems perfect to me - looks like a 512BB.
That's the point, it doesn't though does it. It looks like a 512BB in the same way that an MR2 with a bodykit looks like a Ferrari. Sorry but tacky in the extreme IMO and for £3m, someone is having a proper laugh. Fools and their money.WayneB said:
I could instantly tell Leonardo Fioravanti had nothing to do with the design of that car.
Donato Coco may have certainally knocked it up in his lunchbreak at Lotus though as a favour to his old employer.
If I was Eric, I would set fire to it and claim the insurance money.
