RE: What you can do to your 458 if you're Eric Clapton
Discussion
ked 458.I like the 512BB, and I like the 458, but I'm not a fan of this. Also, I'm not convinced it has the V12 in, surely the 12 just comes from it being a new reg?
SP could be special project if you want it to, and EPC is Eric's initials, but I don't reckon there's anyhting more to it than that.

UPDATE:
Having found the reg on the DVLA database, we can confirm that it is a V8, registered on 1st March (so as to get the 12-plate number).
Having done a little digging, we can also reveal that SP12 is likely to be the name of the model, SP denoting Special Projects and the 12 a nod to Clapton's known fondness for 12-cylinder Ferraris. The underpinnings will, however, be straight from a 458, as Ferrari's bespoke programme doesn't go so far as to tmaper too much with existing platforms.
As for how much this little beauty cost, the answer is likely to be a heck of a lot. You do get all the tooling for your car thrown in with the deal (so that Ferrari can never build another), but the price can be price could be astronomical even considering that - for example bespoke paint for brake calipers can cost as much as 300,000 euros (we kid you not)...

Hundreds of millions there.
there you go, proof an ageing rock star knows far more than the greatest super car maker on earth...
not truly awful, but a ruined 458 in my view. This kind of plastic surgery should be left to vauxhall nova's.
Proves money can make you very happy, but cant buy taste or make you in to a car designer.
