RE: Eric Clapton's one-off Ferrari: official photos

[ajprice]

Is the Aperta supposed to look like an old Corvette? If it is they succeeded, but it's like putting an MR2 kit on a Ferrari instead of a Ferrari kit on an MR2. Why?

Apparent build price of £3,000,000!? and they wouldn't even fit a V12!? are you kidding me??!!

Cross between a 348 and a Venturi. Just go buy a 512BB Eric

I think the door handles are the best feature.

Fantastic! Beautiful lines & one of a kind. Congratulations El on this work of art! I'll bet the engine sounds like music too. I'd love a ride sometime!

Much better looking than the F458.

It's not though is it.

Maybe we should all stop comparing the Ferrari 'Claptonerossa' with other current or past Fezzers and judge it for what it is in itself? I believe it is a lovely looking creation, combines new with old. Not everyone is of the same taste, some of us are retro classic fans, others are more progressive and modern, live and let live guys......

I'm not a retro-classic fan at all, I just think the 458 is decidedly ugly.

[cjb1]

Agreed in full, when you consider most of their previous designs were so lovely with the odd exception (Mondial, 400i, GTB4 etc) what were they thinking of when they came up with the 458?

Covered with Wrapping Paper.

When used in anger it has Wheels of Fire.

It can run on biofuel, which is a bit of a Strange Brew.

When he's finished with it, it's just going to be Doing That Scrapyard Thing




There must be some way to work Pressed Rat & Warthog into this!

I hope your not driving in your condition.

[cjb1]

I thought it only proper to assume that every one has their own taste in vehicle design, you 'Sir' have proved my assumption to be incorrect in that you have none whatsoever.

As to my condition, I happen to have been subjected to a thorough medical examination only yesterday and all was found to be in fine order.......sorry must dash, there are men in white coats coming to take me away!!!.......
