    All this, and still no word on a sequel to McBain. Come on Glickenhaus-get your priorities straightened out.

    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...

    The original P 4/5 was based on a "still shrink wrapped Enzo" IIRC. Since there are no more Enzos to be had, what's THIS beast gonna be based on?

    (Yes, I know it'll be constructed completely out of unobtainium, I'm asking about the base car).

    @FrankRizzo: Well, it's midengined, so that rules out a couple of Ferraris. I'm guessing it's 458. The proportions seem to match up, and the amount of hood over the front wheels, as seen from the side-profiles, match the 458 better than the 430.

    But heck, it's just a guess. It could be based on a brand new Ferrari hypercar for all I know.

    What a gorgeous car. This is a couple years old, but I still use this picture from Winding Road of the P4/5 as my desktop wallpaper:

    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.

    @Al Navarro: Not the right demographic for the network. Plus, we don't advertise. People advertise with us. We tried it the other way around once and it didn't work out as profitably.

    @Ray Wert:
    I wasn't thinking from practical standpoint...more from a vanity (and I'm not saying that in a dissy way) perspective. JG claims he will keep the car in the race livery in perpetuity...how is $3M not a good deal for "in perpetuity".

    Anyone know if Germany allows tobacco ads on cars?

    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.

    OK, so now all we need are modern/futuristic interpretations of a Ford GT40 mk IV and a Porsche 910, and we've got a nice new race series.
