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

At silverstone on sunday it was great to see a certain 6GTO fresh out of a refresh covered in dead flys and not a trailer queen car and its owner in his shar a bang next to it

Very pretty video, it's so cool to see the P4/5 in your ordinary life!
I have a quick answer, I hope it's not stupid...
What's the meaning of the "612" number on the plate, and why some people calls the "P4/5" as "612 P4/5"?
Thanks,
Alberto.

 

Six Liter 12. As 512 S is 5 liter 12 or 312 is 3 liter 12.

 

Thanks, it's how I thought.

 

That was a really well done video.

Quick question: Is there anything that you don't like/bugs you about the car? (visibility, room, etc)

Thanks!

 

No anything that I didn't like we've modified and the car is very easy and fun to drive.

We're up to 4K miles.

Very glad they're taking some P 4/5 styling cues and shortening the front and rear overhang...

 

Jim, great video. I have followed P3/4 and now P4/5 for a couple of years. Congrats on a project well done.

How are the driving dynamics for P4/5 and feel when compared to a "regular Enzo"?

 

A bit different. Lower weight makes it a touch faster. More tire allows less electronic intervention. Shorter front and rear overhang makes it easier to drive on street. Glass roof allows much less claustrophobic feeling and more outwards vision. More downforce really sticks it. Exhaust note is a little different as well.

Best

 

Interesting. I saw you mention this on the video too. I was wondering whether the increased tire size "automatically" invokes less electronic intervention OR whether you had to adjust the computers / electronics to take the 20" wheels and larger tires into consideration.

Best and thanks for sharing!

 

We had to re program all of the computers because of the changes we made.

Ferrari was very helpful in this regard.

very kind of you to let people into your garage. Love the fuel pump in the garden

 

I love that video!

 

great video Jim....it's great you share your cars the way you do...as a car entusiast i thank you...

 

is there a switch that allows you to change between upper exhaust and lower exhaust?

also, am i to understand that your daughter chose the materials for the interior? very cool...

 

No, the exhaust switches at 5K rpm to the upper set.

Yes, his daughter chose the material.

Are you his represenative?

 

not quite, as the exhaust switches at 3000 revs....

 

Haha, I knew that too... And no, I just figure that Jim has repeated himself enough times for some of these questions.

I know, I was just poking some fun...
