What's the news?
Fancy a new Ferrari SP3JC? Sorry! You can't have one. It's a strict one-off, and it has already been "officially consigned to its owner" according to Ferrari.
It's a special car, built on the bones of the F12 TdF chassis - you know, the monster-fast one with the massive engine and the hilarious attitude to going sideways through any corner - built to a special commission by the Ferrari styling centre.
Ferrari says that it's the "maximum expression of open-air motoring" and harks back to the classic V12 front-engined Ferrari spiders of the 1950s and 1960s. The client, doubtlessly well-heeled whoever he or she may be, has been working closely with the factory in Maranello for two years to create the car.
While you can see the basic shape of the F12 in there, the sides of the car have been altered a bit to emphasise the front-engined layout, while the air intakes at the front are unique to the car. At the rear, there's an entirely new layout, with dramatic horizontal slashes in the bodywork.
Apparently, the owner has an interest in 'pop art' and that has influenced the colour scheme, and the graphics of the paint job, which is Azzurro Met and Giallo Modena livery over the main Bianco Italia colour scheme.
On top of the bonnet, there are actually glass panels, the better to show off the 780hp naturally-aspirated V12 engine while other details include a carbon-fibre 'flying bridge' linking the two roll-hoop fairings, and a brushed aluminium fuel filler flap.
Inside, the seats are covered with blue leather with white inserts, which is also picked up on the dashboard.
Sadly, as with so many Ferrari special editions, it's a case of look, but don't touch. Hopefully next time, they'll show us a car we can actually buy. And afford. Please? Pretty please?
