So what do you do if you're obscenely wealthy and want to design your own sports car? You could start from scratch and hire a team of designers and engineers to make your dream vehicle, but this is extremely expensive and very risky. However, thanks to the Ferrari Special Projects program there's now another option available.

Essentially what the Ferrari Special Projects program does is allow clients to help in the design and development of their very own Ferrari. Sadly however money can't buy taste, and this is desperately obvious when looking at the P540 Superfast Aperta. And who calls their car the "Superfast" - it's like a kid named it.

Based on the gorgeous Ferrari 599, essentially the P540 Superfast Aperta is an open top version with a range of styling tweeks and changes - almost all of them for the worse. At the rear the car gets an awkward set of arches and decklid and a massive rear overhang. There's no doubt the car gets some of its styling inspiration from the 1965 Ferrari 250GT. However the fact the owner, Edward Walson, son of John Walson, the inventor of cable TV is an American is probably the reason the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta has so many Corvette-like styling cues instead. Now corvettes are great looking cars in their own right, but combining them with Ferrari lines is not something that should be attempted by anyone outside the cheap kitcar circuit.

Powering the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta is a front-mid mounted 6.0 litre V12 which produces 620 horsepower @ 7,600 rpm, this is connected to an F1-style sequential 6-speed transmission driving the rear wheels.

Thankfully the P540 Superfast Aperta is a one off creation, so your chances of seeing it are limited.

Ferrari p540 Super Fast Aperta is usually in storage in Scottsdale Arizona. Although it was just recently sent back to Italy to fix the roof that did not seal correctly . Five million dollars to build. And your right.....it isn't that cool.
