The Enzo reimagined.... Jim's Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina

Now THAT'S an avatar!! Chicago native, now in AZ. Like you, I am LOVING THIS SEASON SO FAR!!!!!!!!!

OK, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Go Bears!

 

Hi Jim, spectacular car as many others have mentioned throughout the thread. I just had one quick question though, since you have the copyrights to the design, does this forbid anyone from making a smaller scale collector model as well? Any plans in the future for one?

 

We have just worked that out today and a model will be coming out.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!

Any details on the company / specifications?

 

Soon.

Jim,

This is going to be a production car? Ferrari are going to build this for a customer base? Could it be a production car with FXX specs, a similarly designed body, the F60 we have been waiting for?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind...

 

James,

I do not know if you have followed some of my oil threads. Currently I am running Castrol 0W-30 European Formula synthetic oil in the Enzo. It gives appropriate parameters for my type of driving (not on the track, racing).

What oil are you running and why, if you do not mind me asking.

I think you are one of those who is concerned about oil and engine interactions. I say this because of the gentle way you started up the car and revved it at Pebble Beach.

Hi

We just finished 700 miles of testing over 2 days. We did high speed oval, short track, rain, bumper to bumper rush hour, etc. We used regular Enzo oil.

We have a bit more oil cooling and noticed great oil PSI and temps lap after lap. We were running hard shifting at 8K in race mode all day. The thing that impressed me most were the brakes. They are wonderfull. We experienced massive downforce on the banked oval over 4200 lbs and had no oil problems at all. The Enzo platform is fantastic!

Before I started her at Pebble we had heated her up and the oil was still warm.

Since it is a tad under 2 weeks away, have you thought about the Long Island Concours at all?

 

Yes car will be there.

Can't wait to see it!

 

Any chance of showing her off in the Gumball 3000.
I dought it but I would love to know she was well used and I would love to be a random person see her on the road.

 

She will be on the road but not there.

Current issue of Car and Driver (pg 13) Csere's What will be at Pebble Beach in the future?"

"Driveable customs such as Jim Glickenhaus's rebodied Ferrari Enzo, which we featured in our September issue ("The Beast of Turin") and which made it's debut to the public in a display of show cars leading into the concours, would seem to be a shoe-in for the future. It's exclusive, startling, and beautifully executed, and it has a peerless pedigree. We don't see cars of this ilk frequently, and that rarity will be what makes them the classics of the future.

 

True dat

 

Roumor has it the car will be at Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley, NY on display soon. Is that true and if so when?

 

Not that I know of although they are friends and I will bring it by for them to see at some point.

 

Someone should make a rebody of 250 GTO on a new 599 GTB....

 

Somebody really is doing this. Ask Michiel.

All thanks to Fchat!
The design started in a thread here.
Now it becomes reality! WOW!

 

Do you have a vague idea when it will be finished already? Summer '07 or something?

 

Not yet.
It started to be a one-off, but the reactions worldwide are really overwhelming.
We're considering some new steps, so no timeframe has been set yet.

I think it's best not to discuss this in Jim's thread.

 

3000 posts! Sweet car Jim
