2012 Ferrari SP12 EC
World-famous guitarist Eric Clapton has been known to be a long-time Ferrari fan and to commemorate his indubitable patronage for the supercar, Ferrari has set the gears to create a one-off project, the 2012 Ferrari SP12 EC.
To build the car that will pay homage to Clapton's career, the Centro Stile Ferrari collaborated with the engineers in Maranello and Pininfarina.
Engine
There are barely any details about how Ferrari will power the SP12 EC, though they are eyeing to put the powertrain for the award-winning 458 Italia that has a 4.5 liter V8 engine that delivers 570 horsepower and 398 lbs/ft of torque.
Performance
The Ferrari 512 BB is a sports car. Therefore, it is safe to presume that the SP12 EC will inherit most of its characteristics. It is also expected that Ferrari will make fine adjustments to make the car more versatile for daily driving and public roads. Clapton will definitely get the performance of a sports car and the comfort of a luxury car at the same time.
Exterior
The exterior of the SP12 EC draws inspiration from the 512 BB that will include a wider grille, new bumpers, a new exhaust system and a retro-style rear. According to Ferrari, the creative process for the SP12 EC exterior is similar to how Clapton meticulously picks up every note to create a musical score.
Interior
Fusion is what we can expect with the SP12 EC's interior. It could bring a sports-inspired yet luxurious feel. But since Ferrari has not released any specific details about it yet, we need to watch out for updates.
Pros
It has the looks and the power of a sports car. It has the comfort of a luxury car and it is one of a kind. With Ferrari behind the creation process, we can be sure that the car will have un-equaled quality.
Cons
One-off projects rarely have drawbacks, only that they are not reproduced. This car is specially made for Eric Clapton alone.
Now that the gears are set to create the 2012 Ferrari SP12 EC, another car will be included into the list of the greatest automobiles ever made.

2013 Aston Martin Vanquish
The 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish is a stunning, luxury, sports car, which uses the architecture and craftsmanship inherent in Aston Martin design and engineering, to produce a sports car which is more efficient and affordable for every day use.
While no details have been missed, new materials were used to make the car lighter, easier to handle, more efficient, and roomier. Performance has increased with the impressive technology used, and the overall look is reminiscent of past models, but much more economical to drive.
Design
The Vanquish is a leaner, more elegant car, with improved dynamics and agility. Its aluminum, magnesium alloy, and carbon fiber composite body, with body panels constructed from carbon fiber, increases torsion rigidity more than 25%.
Each carbon fiber panel is sculpted to direct airflow around the car, into the engine, also helping to cool the braking system. The carbon fiber elements used in the Vanquish are advanced techniques used in the motorsport and aerospace industries. Manipulating downforce of air, and making the car lighter, makes handling and grip of the car more responsive and predictable.
Performance
The front chassis is 13% lighter, by using hollow cast aluminum, and is redesigned to lower the engine, which also improves handling and agility. Because of the front-mid mounted engine, and mounting position of the transaxle, a near perfect distribution of weight is achieved.
The 6.0-liter, V12 engine has a revised block, and new head with variable valve timing. The fuel pump has been upgraded, with enlarged throttle bodies, and a revised intake manifold. It has fully machined combustion chambers, which helps the engine to provide an increased peak power of 565 hp at 6,750 rpm.
A Launch Control system, derived from motorsports, delivers an optimum take-off, which balances the throttle, gearbox, and traction aids. Dynamic Stability Control, and Positive Torque Control aids, helps in providing more control, for a refined driving experience.
The Adaptive Damping System (ADS) now gives the driver three damping options, delivering immediate adjustment of the car's handling abilities in normal mode, sport mode, or track mode. The Vanquish is capable of achieving 0-62 mph in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 183 mph.
Interior
The interior space in the Vanquish has increased 1.5 inches for legroom, and 3.5 inches for elbow room, making it feel much roomier. The luxurious leather interior and hand-quilted seat bolsters, display the expert craftsmanship which is a signature of Aston Martin cars.
The Vanquish comes complete with a center stack, capacitive touch interface with haptic feedback, and Bang and Olufsen audio system, along with many other optional features offered in Aston Martin sports cars. The increased space is the newest renovation, with more cabin space, and an impressive 13 cubic feet for luggage in the trunk.
Exterior
Every effort has been made to make the 2012 Aston Martin Vanquish a sporty, luxury car, yet engineered in a way to make it more economical, with less emissions, roomier, and easier to handle.
Their efforts have paid off, and the 2013 Vanquish will begin to be delivered to customers in the United States, in early 2013. It is a beautiful looking sports car which has become more efficient, easier to handle, and more affordable to own.
