The 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed starts on Thursday with the Moving Motor Show, and Ferrari are planning a good turnout including the F12 Berlinetta popping its Goodwood Cherry. It’s nearly eighteen months since the Ferrari F12 was revealed, but this coming weekend it will get a chance to strut its 731bhp up the Goodwood hillclimb.

With a 0-62mph of just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 211mph (which isn’t that important up the hillclimb) the F12 promises a stunning spectacle for Goodwood’s visitors.

But it’s not just the F12 getting an outing at Goodwood, with Ferrari taking along a selection of cars created by through their Tailor-Made Service and even a one-off special.

The one-off special is Eric Clapton’s Ferrari SP12 EC, a 458 created by Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and evoking many of the design cues from Eric’s favourite Ferrari – the 512BB.

Also on show is a 458 Spider from Ferrari’s Tailor-Made with Ice White Pearl paint with Grigio Silverstone racing stripes, black and grey leather, grey Alcantara and pin-stripe detailing on the inner carbon fibre trims in Ice White.

Finally, Ferrari will also be taking along their 2010 F1 car – Fernando Alonso’s, which won at Monza  - which will spend the weekend strutting its stuff with Marc Gene behind the wheel.

A proper little Ferrari Fest for Goodwood.
