Eric Clapton is selling his Ferrari 599 online for P5.7-M
MANILA: Get a little piece of music and a whole lot of machinery with Eric Clapton’s Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 that’s currently up for sale on Autotrader.
Clapton is a three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — first as a soloist, as a member of the Yardbirds, and also as a member of Cream. He is number 2 on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, a three-time Grammy Winner, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and is a Commander of the Order of the British Empire and also a Commandeur of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France.
A few of his sports cars have been sold online, including a Lamborghini Superleggera for £125,000.
He’s been an avid car collector since the '70s and has professed his love for Ferrari, owning a range of models including a one-off special project car gifted to him by Ferrari, an SP12 EC.
The 599 he’s selling has a contrasting Nero Daytona Black exterior on Castoror Light Brown interior with a Bose HiFi System and a six-CD changer installed. It also comes with 20-inch wheels, the renowned Scuderia Ferrari shields, yellow brake calipers, a carbon fiber driving zone, and a Navtrak Antitheft System.
For reference, a Ferrari 599 F1 has a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 612hp and 608Nm of torque. It can go from zero to 100kph in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of over 330kph.
“The legend that is Eric Clapton is renowned for his classic car collection — after his music career, of course — and it’s well known how much he loves his Ferraris. He’s even made use of Ferrari’s secretive One-Off Programme in the past for a reported £3million, so you know he’s not messing around! This particular Ferrari 599 is stunning and so well-maintained. The fact it received Eric Clapton’s seal of approval before being sold on makes it that much more special. For a blues lover, who also has the money for it, this is a perfect buy on Auto Trader,” said Auto Trader’s YouTube Director, Rory Reid.
