2006 Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina
Quote : | "The car was created for collector James Glickenhaus, and is valued at over $3 million. It was inspired by the P4 racer of the 1960s. Essentially, the P4/5 is a rebodied Ferrari Enzo, with a Pininfarina-designed exterior." |
Quote : | "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.
To say that Pininfarnia simply rebodied the Ferrari this is a massive understatement. What James has revealed is that Pininfarina have 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." |
