New Ferrai/Pininfarina Concept Car - 612 P4/5
This is the new concept car designed by Pininfarina and built on an Enzo platform with the same engine. Pictures are not yet freely available but are available on the link below which for some reason I am unable to open.

no this is 100% real but they have some really shitty, and bogus facts... spend some time reading the thread on ferrari chat. i figured this wasn't worth posting till there was some real news about it what autoweek/auto express "jurnalists" wrote about it is nothing more then what can be read about it in Ferrari chat... their member "napolis" who's name is Jim something has commissioned Pininfarina to build the P4/5 and no picture that is out is close according to him... anyway; the thread is here http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92754 |
IS this an accuarte Cliff's Notes that I found?

I do believe the Tifosi are all primadonnas... now we might understand why Jay Leno doesn't wanna be one of them... ;) :P |
I don't really care if the P3/4 is genuine or a fake. Even if it is the latter, it has been painstakingly restored with proper Ferrari P4 components in it. Its not like its got the psuedo body of a Ferrari with the mechanicals of the Jaguar.
People can dick around about VIN numbers and crap but this is a really beautiful car that I would love to see and hear in the flesh someday. |
My only fear is that it'll use the F1 trans, and he's talking about being a pure drivers car that will take you back to the day, and i don't think it would fully achieve it with the F1 trans in it, i dunno if anyone has asked on the forum yet because i couldn't read through it all if it's totally Enzo based then it probably is going to have an F1 trans.

Jim is not a primadonna, nor is he a kid. He owns a 330P4, a 412P, a Lola T70, a Ford GT40 mkIV and the oldest surviving Ferrari, the 166 Spyder Corsa (s/n 002C). All of these cars have been registered and are used on the street, which goes to show he uses them as they were intended and even beyond that. Last summer he travelled Europe with the 330P4 and the 166. He brings his cars to events all over the world, so other people have a chance to see them. In the case of the debate about s/n 0846, the 330 P4, he is the one opposing many purist experts (primadonnas if you will). IMO he is a car enthusiast of the right kind. |
nice info about this car. when you have pictures, i want to see link to them too. making a classic ferrari looking car, with great mechanicals is good, reminds me of 288gto, last classic looking ferrari, and with nice bang.

SO the magazine etc saying its a Ferrari prototype are wrong, andf it is a private effort. Then that explains why a car needed to be bought. The second bit I posted shows why i stopped reading Ferrai-Chat a long time ago - most of the time there are pages and pages of he-say she-say posts where one rich collector is bitching at another rich collector.. generally acting like kids. if any of those folks had any profesisonalism they would take those types of discussion ofline one on one, but it seems that it's just an ego driven pissing match about who has the real this or that. That is why I called them primadonnas - it doesn't matter who they are - it's how they act ;) |
The pictures show a pretty interesting car.
