Defined the 512 BB reference behind the SP12 EC brief.
SP12 EC
Clapton's Boxer reference
Eric Clapton asked Ferrari for a one-off shaped by the 512 BB he had owned three times. Ferrari Design and Pininfarina put that brief over 458 Italia mechanicals; no public sale establishes a market.

Overview
Ferrari presented the completed one-off in May 2012.
Clapton's brief began with the 512 BB, a model he had owned three times. Centro Stile Ferrari and Pininfarina developed a new body around the 458 Italia platform.
Ferrari's release confirms the participants and inspiration but does not publish a transaction price, separate power figure or public production-market evidence.
