    Do mind that he won't be able to call it a Ferrari or a Pininfarina or maybe even a P4/5 and can't use the name NART unless he get people to let him use the name.

    And there's like only one major racing organization that'll allow this car to run at a race...

    It probably won't have Ferrari or Pininfarina badging. Which surely makes the project a bit pointless, no?

    I pretty well hated Glickenhaus's P4/5. But the earlier renderings of the Competizione really had me questioning that.

    Until I saw that profile view. Still ugly after all these yea-- er, months.

    $3M USD to sponsor this car in the Nurburgring 24 Hour race seems like peanuts for the all the exposure it's getting. I wish Mint Advertising had the cash to do it.

    If it is not an Enzo underneath is it really a P4/5 Competizione? A 458 Italia underneath while probably technically superior just would make it a totally different car even if it has the same body on it. If it is 458 Italia based, I propose Mr. Jim Glickenhaus call it the P3/5 Competizione.

    So as I see it, the thing will be a tube chassis with a Ferrari engine, using the body work designed for his 1 off p4/5. My question is how is that body going to work under race conditions. Where this car is going to compete it will be against downforce cars, and as far as I know the p4/5 body was never really wind tunnel tested for racing purposes. I see alot of lift in the bocy with little in the way creating downforce from the body. I smell a Mercedes CLR-GT fiasco when they start to race it.

    @area_educator: No it was not enough downforce or lift spoilers... A car body naturally promotes lift, esp cars with underbody drag reducers, they are really just big wings. When you factor in light weight and high speed you run into issues. You do not need a super car for this to happen, the first Gen Audi TT had lift problems while it was limited to only 155mph, they recalled all the TT's and put spoilers on the back to stop the high speed lift issues. My point is that this body was never designed for racing, it may have been windtunnel tested, but nothing like the work they put into the MC12 or the Enzo, even then Ferrari will not race the Enzo, and only the MC12. Even Mercedes admits that the CLR was not tested in the wind tunnel long enough.

    I don't like Ferraris. Even among Ferraris, I don't like the Enzo. I don't have any particular desire to become a wealthy investor or producer so that I can amass a large collection of Ferraris. I don't really care for Ferrari owners or their Formula 1 team. Generally, what I like is angry little economy cars stuffed full of turbos, Brembos and AWD, and Ferraris do not fit this profile.

    Despite this, I think the P4/5 is staggeringly awesome, and I applaud James Glickenhaus for building a fresh one to go racing. Kudos, sir.

    I thought his original Coach P 4/5 was a travesty. For some reason, when all done up in a racing livery, I actually think this thing looks fantastic.

    Amazing what a little paint job can do for a car.

    Compared to the Enzo I thought it looked fantastic, and was a fine homage to the P3/4.

    Technically the enzo was raced in lemans, FIA GT series, ALMS and a couple ofother series. Although with a different paintjob and a body kit (all joking aside it was bad ass). They called it the Maserati MC12. Not to different from what I assume the P4/5 will take on.
