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

Do you have any finished pictures of the new exhaust yet, Jim? My collection of photos seems to have been having a dry spell over the last month or so.

Thanks.
Peter Hatch

 

They are being coated.

 

Congratulations to 'Napolis getting rightful honors, yet again. It's good to see the only proper Enzo recognized not only as such by mags and Auto Shows, but as top of the custom field, period.

It's been a helluva year, hasn't it?

 

Hey

Good to hear from you! Hope you are well.

Powdercoated white like the old ones? Great!

Peter Hatch

 

Ceramic coated.

 

Do you have any plans on bringing your car to Canada?
If you do will it be Toronto?
Thanks.

 

But of course what did you expect!!!!!!!!!!

 

PLease let me know as I would be happy to see your car!

 

My mistake. Keep us updated.
Was there anything other than the tips that had to be changed for this modification to be possible?

just wanted to say thanks to Jim on sharing his cars in the Car & Driver issue. I bet they were suprised as hell that you actually drive these! Those two belong in a museum....nahhh drive them when u get the urge and enjoy them! Would love to see the P4/5 in person one of these days!!

 

Again.....What an amazing machine.

 

God Jim, I dont know.... I may be going crazy down here at the school without my dose of Ferrari. Maybe I'll have to go over to ForeignCarsItalia and get my fix. Come down here and show these folks what a real car is!

Jim, are you going to be at LRP Vintagefest this weekend? If so, what cars are you bringing?

 

Hi

Yes on Sunday I'm driving up The Lola.

So you're partaking in the show? I'm going to try and be there the whole weekend.

 

Hi
Yes.

 

When I had dinner with Dr. P I didn't think what we discussed would wind up in the Newspaper (Frankfurter Allgemeine)...

"The American James Glickenhaus had already a talk about this with Paefgen. The movie producer and director, an enthusiastic car collector, recently caused a stir when he had a new Enzo modified into a unique Ferrari P4/5 Pininfarina."

"this" refers to the idea of having a Veyron completely customized into some sort of an art object. (Their words)

 

Okay, just build the car and stop dangling the t-bone in front of our faces.

I think I remember reading a post of yours from a LONG time ago that if you were to do a Veyron, it would pay tribute to the Bentley Speed 8? Am I close?

 

Hi

There is a long distance from here to there. At this point this is only a dream.

The Great Bugatti's were front engined. The GP cars, The Electron Coupe, The Tank, The Royale so turning those cues into a mid engined car isn't an easy thing. I do think the Speed 8 was a fantastic adaptation of the Audi R8 and what a Le Mans Coupe should look like and I also like the Peugeot Le Mans Coupe.

I wasn't the one who spoke to the the Frankfurt Newspaper and frankly I have no idea where they came up with what they did. It didn't come from me but I did very much enjoy my dinner with Dr. P and do admire what they've accomplished.

Hey. You never know...

 

You're right Jim. Stick with something simple, like buying an MC12. Strip it down and you can do that P4/5 R. It would take a lot less design, since you kinda have the original to work with.

Any pictures of the finished exhaust tips yet?

 

Hi

They should be on next week.
