Default First details of Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina revealed



2006-07-19: First details of Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina revealed ...

When James Glickenhaus set out to have his Ferrari Enzo rebodied by Pininfarina he could not have imagined the huge impact his 'project' would have. Ever since he released the first details on several message boards early in 2006, the story was picked up by magazines all around the world. It might have been Glickenhaus' movie directing background, but the following months the story felt like a genuine thriller for enthusiasts alike. While he released sparse details, all that was known about the shape was that it resembled the Ferrari 330 P3/4 sportscar also owned by Glickenhaus. This caused even more talk as the P3/4 is generally considered one of the best looking machines ever to grace the world's racing tracks. Many magazines used this information for the computer generated renderings, which a select few knew were far off the finished product. Sadly we were not able to join the global speculation game as Jim let us in on his little secret and showed us the finalized design back in January 2006. It has been difficult to keep quiet about the most exciting new car release of this year. July 25th was set by Glickenhaus as the date the first images would be revealed, but sadly today the first image was leaked. In light of this James has graciously allowed us to publish the first images of the styling and information of his glorious Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina. Expect more details to be published here in the next few days. The full set of images will be available from July 29th.

Styling looks really avant-garde...I think if it had better lookin' wheels, it'd look much better.

Pininfarina has done it again!

That car is gorgeous. It's dead sexy damn it. The only thing that kind of bothers me are the
front air scoops in the bumper. They look too much like exhaust pipes.

Those headlight covers ruin the car for me.

But then, I was never a fan of "opaque" smoked covers on any car - not even black.
