Dazzi Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 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 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 suggestions, 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 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. http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/257/attachmenthi7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I like that, must be nice to have a 330 and a modern day version of one to play in. http://www.andycam.net/albums/suffolkben/DSCF0076.sized.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Front + sides = Back + THOSE WHEELS!!! = I agree. Although the back looks handy for attaching a trailing rope, you know, when you need to fix your 'hot pursuit' skateboard underneath.

TLicense Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I like the wheels and side/rear shots, but I think the front lets it down. Looks like a badly finished concept car. But side profile, it's gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Retro done well. Absolutely nut-tighteningly gorgeous. As for the wheels, what do I know about nice wheels:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I think its ugly TBH. Wheels are awful and the front terrible. Actually so's the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
