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

Yep Ferrari apparently now DO use focus groups in the design process, for the $5.99 they must have used a group comprised of Lexus, Corvette and hyundia enthusiasts

 

Tru dat.

One of the problems with focus groups is that you're not dealing with people spending their own money. A good example is all the whinning going on about the new 599 from people who will never be able to afford one.

I have talked to a number of Enzo owners, and they all rave about how the car drives. Funny, I don't recall any comments that they thought it looked like sex on wheels.

PS I'd give my right and left nut, all my children, and my wife for a brand new Ferrari that looked like a Cal Spyder. Oh mama. Life could end right there.

 

Right on!

 

Jim, as you will be the owner of the design, as well as the only one on existence, would you consider allowing another one (or more) to be built by PF using your design for someone else who has a donor Enzo at hand?

It could be the start of a whole new direction for you.
Henrik Fisker, eat your heart out!

 

Yes, but there are rules...

...it has to be black.

 

Why not do the same design in a smaller scale on a 430 coupe or in the same scale on an FXX???

 

Then it wouldn't be the only Enzo in existence worthy of the name Enzo.

 

has anyone seen pics of this car yet it is killing me

 

Maybe everybody Jim has been kind enough to show the pics to has been sworn to secrecy, but I have to say if I had the money to get one I would (have already asked if it would be OK if I sold my house to get one, apparently it wouldn't ),

It looks like a proper Ferrari.....elegant, curvacious yet still aggresive

 

i finally read this thread in full the other day, and all i have to say is damn. congrats for you Jim, thats awesome that youre pursuing something you truly want. go balls deep.

 

No comment other than it will be worth the wait until August...

 

OK, Jim is back. Any news from you to help calm the feeding frenzy on this thread?

 

Ohw, Jim forgot to send me the pics!

Honest mistake

 

As you drive up into the mountains you begin to understand why they build Ferrari's. The ancient roads that wind through the forests and villages, bordered by stone walls that bounce back the sound of glorious V-12's. The coffee that is unlike other coffee. 800 KMS of ski able terrain. The 72 million euro luge track. The Americans rocking the half Pipe. The engineering that does not stop when the sun sets. The Grand Canal that Tuner painted. The computer modeling of P 4/5's interior. The Passion. The Olympic motto is "Where Passion Lives". Turino and Pininfarina are truly where Passion Live.

 

it looks a famous passion. a great voyage.

 

James:
Is everything on schedule with the car?

 

Yes everything is looking really well.

 

AHHHHHHHHH show the Pics PLEEEEEZZZ

if you wont give in to that request plese when is the date you will show them how many days is it realy that good

 

Jim,

Any pics of the mechanicals?

-F

 

That work is just starting. Everything is being documented and will be available at some point but not for a while.

 

This could very well turn out to be the understatement of the year....

 

I heard/read some where that there will be some big Ferrari surprise on Geneva auto show but NOT on the Ferrari stand... interesting

 

Wow!

I am truly speechless. Where is the drooling smiley?!

 

I know absolutely nothing about what is going on here, but from reading a good few pages of this thread it sounds like something very good.

 

Note to self: "Make sure I'm in Pebble Beach this year"

Napolis, I can't wait to see your finished project!!!
