(Thread Starter) |  Rumormill: Did Ferrari build Eric Clapton a one-off 458 Italia?  Ferrari has been known to produce one-off vehicles for customers, most notably the F430-based SP1 created for a wealthy Japanese collector in 2008 as well as the P540 Superfast Aperta created on the 599 FTB Fiorano platform in 2009. Now, if the Ferrari afficianados over on FerrariChat.com are correct, Ferrari Special Projects program has built a third vehicle, this time for musician Eric Clapton, who is known to be a passionate Ferrari collector. The car looks to be based on the 458 Italia and has distinct styling references to the 12-cylinder Ferrari 512 BB built in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a large lower grille, hood slats and flying buttresses at the rear. Judging from the photos, the interior appears to be relatively unchanged from the 458 Italia, and the mid-mounted 4.5-liter V8 is likely still in place as well. We will try and find out more details about this special Ferrari, but until then, check out the photos of the car in the gallery above.Did Ferrari build Eric Clapton a one-off 458 Italia? originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:23:00 EST.
