Eric Clapton’s One Off, Boxer-Inspired Ferrari 458, spotted at London’s HR Owen

Around two years ago, Eric Clapton commissioned a one-off Ferrari 458 Italia fitted with a V12 engine and well, we all thought it was an urban legend, a myth of sorts, and we still haven’t officially confirmed this does has a V12 under the bonnet, but what we do know is the one-off is on display at HR Owen in London.

These images show us styling references to the iconic Ferrari 512 BB, sporting a large lower grille, front bonnet hood louvers, and roof mounted rear spoiler. From the little we can make-out, the interior appears to be a modestly tailored version of the stock 458 Italia. Rumors are this was fitted with the V-12 from the 599 GTO but we are leaning towards this one-off being powered by the Italia’s mid-mounted 4.5 liter V-8.

Stay tuned for more!
