    I've never seen the movie in question but, by looking at the P540, it must have been this version of the GTO that had the cameo.

    Except for the grille and headlights, I see more Corvette than Ferrari in this design.

    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.

    An identical twin to the one I drive everyday. 188,000 miles on the clock and still going strong. I do all my own work on it and hope to keep it until I can buy a new Alfa in the USA. Which will hopefully be sooner than later. #alfaromeo

    The 164 really doesn't do anything for me. It kinda reminds me of the Eagle Premier/Dodge Monaco twins. Plus, it uses a FWD chassis that is shared with several other cars. If I was to look for 4 door Italian Alfa hell from the 80's, it would be a Milano. It's RWD and has the front engine/ rear transaxle configuration that offers better balance than the front drive setup in most 164's.

    My lust for these cars started after seeing a dark green one in Italy in 89'. The euro bumpers are smaller and the body cladding wasn't as obvious in darker colors. Years later and I nearly bought one but got a GTV-6 instead. They are relatively bulletproof except for the AC stepper motors, earlier digital readouts and timing belts. I still want a 164S but can't rightfully justify it to the commander in chief. #alfaromeo

    I know of three of those here in Charlottesville, VA. One I have seen since it was new when I was a kid and has been lovingly cared for and one that looks like the paint faded 20 years before it was made. #alfaromeo
