Ferrari Magazine Sits Down With Eric Clapton
Ferrari officially reveals Eric Clapton's One-Off SP12 EC and Ferrari Magazine sits down with the world famous musician for an exclusive chat.

Maranello, May 28th - For a Ferrari enthusiast and great musician like Eric Clapton a one-off car just had to be produced. Designed by the Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and the engineers from Maranello, the SP12 EC was created as homage to Clapton’s career and his long lasting experience as a Ferrari owner.

The world-famous guitar player has been attached to one particular Ferrari model: the 512 BB, of which he has owned three over the years. So his desire was to drive a car inspired by this model, with influences from the multi-award winning 458 Italia. Exclusively in the latest issue of the Ferrari Official Magazine Eric Clapton talks about his passion and how the idea of a one-off car was born.

Meticulous attention in terms of style and technology was paid to the proportions and architecture of the SP12 EC - which is part of Ferrari’s One-Off Programme – making this exceptional car even more significant. Just like music is created, applying the right notes in the right places to build a musical score, so was the creative process behind the SP12 EC.

Looks great!

 

Well -- thank God they're only making one!

 

Anyone know why its based off of the 458 and not the gto? It needs a v12.

 

I love it from this angle personally...

 

The front lets it down somewhat, but the rear 2/3 is brilliant. I like the retro vibe.

 

Pretty cool. A photo with it sitting in between a 512BB and a 458 would be really neat!!!

 

This angle is stunning. I love the contrast and sharp angles.

 

I kinda like it ! It seems a litle longer than a regular 458, may it be possible that it include a V12?

 

Interesting. Not a huge fan, but it's interesting.
