The Offical P4/5 Mileage Thread

He'll have to sell it before 10,000 miles or it will lose a lot of value LOL

Good thing he painted it resale red though

 

She had about 800 miles of testing in Europe she now has about 1700 miles.

I drove her today and will drive her again tomorrow. I'll drive her until they salt the roads.

 

Already more miles than most Enzos. Good work Mr. G!

 

James,

Who is going to service her ? Classic Coach ? WWC ? Miller ?

 

This thread makes me wonder what the heck is your winter car?

 

As far as I know Jim ordered "P4/5 winter option"

hahahah!, my guess would be his Maser Coupe or his wifes Porsche Cayyene

 

Sal @ Scuderia Glickenhaus, I would think

 

Can't he just plug the computer into the dash so it will perform some sort of self-sustaining maintenance on itself...?

 

Hey

Pininfarina went to great lengths to make the car simple and serviceable.
We'll do most of the servicing ourselves but WWOC/FOLI/Miller are all friends should we need to use a computer. Pininfarina and Ferrari are also standing by and for anything really major we'll fly her back to the homeland with Sal.

Part of the program was making complete spares and service manuals so this isn't a big deal.

As NNO noted the on board computers store the entire car in CAD Parts/construction/etc. and Ferrari and Pininfarina carry the entire car in their computers as well. You could drive her into any Ferrari dealer world wide and get her serviced without issue.

For snow below 6 inches I take the Maser and if it gets deeper my wife's Cayenne gets us around.

wow! thats cool, how much space(memory wise) does that take up?? must be well over 1000's of pages of data??

 

Nice to hear you are racking up the miles on it.

So money aside, what’s to stop a person from ordering all the parts to convert an Enzo to a P4/5?

 

I own the intellectual property and both Ferrari/Pininfarina/ and I agree that
Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina will remain a one of one. All of this is simply to support my car period.

 

You've certainly earned the right; how fortunate for us all that you are as open and sharing with the project as you have been. I joined the forum here late, but my curiosity required that I read the entire thread(s) (not to mention the magizine articles ).

(Psst, is there a link to the Spyder Corsa's maintenance/restoration; I long to see the insides and details of that car?).

 

I was going to tell you this next time we talked in private but what the hell its Sunday, The way you managed to come up with this idea and insure the fact its 1of1 for ever and you own the intellectial property is genious, i know you are deep enough that you'll never sell the P4/5 like I am with some of my cars, but its nice knowing that not only you have a dream in the garage but the balance sheet looks better as a result. The way you positioned yourself strictly in a business sence on this project is as amazing as the car. I know the passion you have for cars is very strong as is mine and i;m not dilluting that, just complementing you on your astute bussiness skills as well. And I know it wasnt built with that in mind but it beats blowing a few mil on nothing; hats off to you.

 

LV:

It's pretty obvious that an investor would most likely never invest in a liability. Look at his other cars: they will only appreciate in value and bring much more in return. Do you think the fight over the lost chassis was just a matter of honor? Or the authentication of any car deemed to be unique? It's all about big bucks. Why do some people buy Monets and things of that sort? Investments, not careless splurges.

As a side note, it makes me wonder why so many people on this forum have so many brand new cars which cover almost the same territory? 99% of these cars will only decrease in value: they are liabilities. You see people with Murcies, 360s, Cayennes, M5s, etc., in the same garage. So few people have truly collectible cars. Sure, they bring pleasure to the owner and it's their money to do as their please, but some planning about the future should be considered, especially with such investments which can return handsomely later on.

 

Aside from the IP, people looking to do a similar project should have their own design. While 2 P 4/5's would be great, I'd rather have 2 vastly different coachbuilt cars.

 

Can someone please tell me what's the price tag on the P4/5 ?

 

All comments "in print" (i.e., magazines, etc.) alludes to $4-5M...

... those options can really add up!

 

The price Jim paid is around 4 million USD from what magazines are saying. I have no idea what it would go for. If anyone sees me on Destination X next season, don't expect my guestimate of 8 million to be bible-truth.

for that sort of money i'd build my own.
