[lancia delta hf]

I dont know if this has been posted and didnt want to make a new thread so i thought i'd post it here.

ok get gossiping now!

 

[Dennisch]

Looks like a cheap knock off, maybe a Lancia?


Or maybe not, seeing the horsie on the steering wheel.

 

[Nessy]

I actually prefer that to the 458 Italia, hmm... maybe it's some kind of modern take on the 512 BB and probably bespoke too.

Ferrari 512 BB (Berlinetta Boxer):

What is that thing?

 

[Dennisch]

Lancia, did you take those pictures?

 

[Chuck@]

That might be the 458 Italia with a 12-Cylinder that Eric Clapton ordered.
Some people said it will be inspired by the boxers. Seeing this picture I think they were right.

It is. It's currently sat in HR Owen's showroom in London. 👍

Ferrari wouldn't accommodate Clapton's request that it have a V12 in the back, so it's just got the regular V8. £3M is a lot for a lightly re-styled 458 IMO.

The photo probaly doesnt do it justice,

I wish.

Yes all things indicate that this is indeed Eric Claptons one off, I hope to have more info today.

Losers.

 

[Prosthetic]

I want one! In that red too.

Doesn't look great. More importantly, why is it in the F12 thread?

 

[Beeblebrox237]

That's a beautiful car, save for the silver bit on the bonnet.

 

[Nish]

I agree to me it look's much better than the original 458 but I agree this shouldn't take over this current thread.

[Eunos_Cosmo]

That might just be ugliest 'premium car' in existence at the moment.

What's up with Ferrari's trying to pull off the grinning grills lately? The FF, F12, and the California... I want an angry Ferrari, an untamed stallion!

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

They saw how well Mazda sells with faces like that and wanted their share..

The F12 looks very angry to me. It's the only Ferrari I've been interested in since the 430. I'll take one in nero daytona please

 

[Ddrizle]

Looks and sounds superb! 👍

"Yet, it never seems like the computers are doing all the work." Free pass Ferrari.👍

 

[sumbrownkid]

Ferrari doesn't do all those weird angles without purpose. They probably help out in the aerodynamics and downforce side of things.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Seems like there's already a one off being made of the F12. Rather than making a thread just for this car, I'll post it here since it is basically related...

Called the 770 Daytona.

Don't like it...

 

[MatskiMonk]

^ Waaay better looking than the F12 in my opinion... solid good looks, rather than weird alien headlamps.

 

[oskierox]

Thats a photoshop job of the F12 Berlinetta, it says it in the article, the 770 Daytona might not be based off the F12 at all, hmmm, sounds interesting.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Probably should have looked through the article first. Sorry.

 

[ND4SPD]

I know they're trying to make it look like the Daytona but all I see in that Photoshop is mid 90's celica.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Well, if the black strip went down a bit further (to the end of the bonnet), it would look really good. It already looks better than the F12, though.

 

[Cano]

Loool what a crappy photoshop job. Almost as crap as the car!

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

I prefer it to the F12.
