Thats a lots of shekels for a V8...if the inspiration was the Boxer it def needed 12 cylinders. 3 million is all the money, even if its a one off. If it comes with a 12, there is no limit to what someone might pay.

Good for EC, fella is living the dream

I don't get how the car goes from $300k to $4m to change to look like that. It can't be true. I think I could get 20 guys working for a year on that and it not cost that much.

If all the rumors of factory re-design plus tooling up to build 3 of them for safety/crash testing are true, it makes a bit more sense. Add in a "small" Ferrari premium for customization and the numbers could grow quickly, Does it seem worth it?...to me, hardly so. But, I'm sure EC will thoroughly enjoy it.

Some styling cues definitely remind me of the F90 one-off:

It's not one-off. There are at least 2 cars - this and red one. There were 6 ordered and allegedly 5 made.

Yeah - here's the red one. Not really a fan nor do I see much of anything that matches up with this effort for Clapton beyond the fact there is a small family resemblance because they are both Ferraris which should be expected.
