Various media sources report that the vehicle you are looking at is Eric Clapton’s custom Ferrari 458 Italia. Sure, the artist could have gone to a tuner, but it seems that he turned to the Prancing Horse itself instead.
The result? His 458 now reportedly uses a V12 instead of its original V8, although we don’t know if we are talkign about the unit in the 599 or the one in the FF. However, the heart transplant is just a part of this one-off job.

As you can see, the vehicle comes with multiple pieces of custom styling, such as the headlight, which are based on the ones of the Enzo. This is because the vehicle’s styling pays homage to the legendary Ferrary 512 Boxer. We’re pretty sure that the interior has also received a lot of attention, but there are no shots of the cabin available so far.
