Interesting, I read EC wanted a 458 but he doesn't like 8cyl F Cars.

So is it confirmed Clapton's car is a V8? Disappointing if so, I thought the whole point was that he wanted a V12 in it.

Jim Glickenhaus also mentioned that he heard the projected cost more then P4/5 which I find quite impressive

Can't say im a fan of the design. There are a "few" parts i like but as a whole im not impressed. Reminds me of what a concept from the early 90s would look like
I don't think you need to crash test cars that are one offs; its only for mass produced cars made for profit. At least thats the case in Canada according to the Motor Vehicle Act? I could be wrong though, especially if Mr. Clapton registered the car someplace else.

I would think safety regulations are the same for all street legal cars, whether they are produced in thousands or just a one of.

All cars must pass the same standards Ludas. That's why no one up here is crusing in a one off zonda. The only exception is if the vehicle is more then 15 years old. Then as long as it has lights, signals, seatbelts, windshield and a horn then it's legal.

The Color is simply amazing --- Does it have a specific name other than red?
