    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...

    @PowerTryp forever Minardi: The only race it can possibly have a chance of being allowed in is ADAC's Nürburgring 24h. They're the only ones that actually let preproduction prototypes and such in the race.

    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.

    @Foo2rama: The flipping CLK GTRs wasn't an issue of "a lot of lift in the body", as I recall.

    @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.

    I suspect that Mr Glickenhaus 's definition of "it's not going to cost Crazy money" is a bit different than mine. For the record my definition would be "under $500".

    My Humanitarian Efforts are Through "The Glickenhaus Foundation" and are quite separate from my hobby.

    P 4/5 Competizione will be powered by a Ferrari V-12 and be built on a Ferrari chassis but it won't be Enzo based.

    @KurtAnakes: The P 4/5 remains one of my favorite vehicles to come out of Pininfarina. I look forward to seeing it run around the track. Is Pininfarina involved in this endeavor?

    Good luck with the vehicle.
