What Farrari model is this?

Ferrari P4/5

July 29th, 2006 - Recently, there has been a ton of commotion surrounding the discovery, by many fans, blogs and magazines, of a specially commisioned Ferrari that was rebodied and rebuilt by Pininfarina
. The story has been unfolding on a specific Ferrarichat.com thread where James Glickenhaus revealed his dream his was coming true and a custom tailored Ferrari was being made for himself.

The project began in late 2005 when James purchased Ferrari's flagship Enzo supercar and immediately sent it to Pininfarina's design studio. Critical of the original styling, James requested that Pininfarina rebody his car drawing inspiration from Ferrari's 1960s prototypes of which he owns two magnificent examples. Pininfarina's team, led by Ken Okuyama, responded by saying that they wanted to stay away from retro design and move towards a more forward thinking supercar. No doubt, the two parties have come up with a clever balance and Jason Castriota's design is as striking as his work on the the Maserati Birdcage 75th concept car and the Ferrari 599 GTB.

To say that Pininfarnia have simply rebodied the Enzo is a massive understatement. What James has revealed is that Pininfarina spent considerable time in the wind tunnel and on the road to ensure the excellent dynamics of the Ferrari aren't lost. Over 200 custom parts were manufactured in the process including a custom interior with complicated hinges for the butterly doors. And, with a 374 lb (270 kg) weight reduction, the P4/5 is now one of the most fastest, stylish and usable cars of our time.

Another important aspect of the project is James' support of the custom-built Ferrari. Back when Ferrari was an upcoming manufacturer, preferred clients would order a racing chassis and then have any number of design studios hand craft a custom body around it. This art all but disappeared with the widespread use of unit-body construction in the seventies that sent the cost of making these unique whips through the roof. However, the P4/5, and other, more secret Ferraris developed for the Sultan of Brunei have broke barriers and piqued our interest in modern custom supercars.

The P4/5 was initially released to the public at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours and it contributed greatly to the best automotive weekend in the world. For anyone wanting to catch a glimpse of the Ferrari P4/5 in person, it will make an international debut at the 2006 Paris Motor Show at the end of September.

Whats that like 4 to the gallon?

Now that's a car that'll get you laid.

A red one

a bad ass customization

only one of them ever made for james glikenhaus

Ferrari has made a few of these one off cars...

that is the baddest looking Ferrari yet! It once again makes me wish I were rich. You need motivation like that to keep capitalism moving

It would be sad if you needed to have a custom built Ferrari to get laid.

Well, a big fat wallet helps too, unless you're married to some fat whore and then it's even sadder having to beg some fat ugly whore to give it up

I like the red color of this car.

I don't like the grated thing at the top of the car. It makes it look like a sewage grate.

and to add to the sewage grate, I not feeling the pvc pipe sticking out the back, wth is it? Its not the exhaust.

What are your thoughts on the re-body? IMHO, it kicks the shit out of the original Enzo body styling.

Minus the exhaust of course. It looks like an 18wheeler knocked up a speedboat, and that was the resulting offspring.

i like it a lot!

I don't like the two white exhaust pipes there.

Looks like a sweet ride,the chicks would dig that

Nice cars

What a sick design. Has some retro touches but very very forward looking. Looks like the P4/P5 has set the framework for more stock chassis/custom body ferraris in the future.

Beautiful model, looks more like a jet fighter

Now this is DA SHIT
Wow !

Simply the best looking exotic car i've ever seen.

Silly looking imo now that I see these pics.

That car just embodies SPEED and STYLE

it's very cool from the front, but the back somehow sucks...
looks like batmobile or something....

lol - what you say make sense...

the car only runs $3,000,000.00 base price.

Still with everyones complaints, this is the absolute best Ferrari to date.

I was laughing at those Viper guys in the othe thread thinking how much better this car is, by research and design, not to mention superior in class.

It's the model you ain't got....me nither

You are absolutely right!

It does give me drive and motivation to get one, and with 3.5million I am sure I can have Ferrari make one for me. LOL
