Thanks for the link Mr. G. I posted the picture partially in jest, but partially to be sure you were aware of it. The link you provided reflects what I have read on the P4/5 in the past, there is one and it is not for sale. We do appreciate you sharing with us though.
Jim, you look like a "boss" in that picture, LOL, very cool!! Ferrari chic! LOL! Both Ferraris look absolutely beautiful in the cover shot as well, stupid question, and I know it's hard to tell from a picture, but is the P 4/5 in Rosso Fuocco? Just curious, cause it really looks like it in that picture. I haven't had the good fortune of seeing it in person yet, so if I could ever have that opportunity, PLEASE PM me. Anyway, where can I get the Bloomberg magazine, very intersted in your article. Thanks for posting it. Take care. Ciao. Mark
Congrats on the article. Cool clothes! Cooler Cars! Yes about the colors...is that metallic red paint on both cars? Which shade?
Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina is a unique color designed by Pininfarina to my specifications of a mix of 1967 Rossa Corsa and SF 1930 Alfa Rossa Corsa. Ferrari P 3/4 0846 is painted in 1967 Rossa Corsa.
You have to get yourself a 30's Alfa Romeo, needs to be top of your to do list. Nick Mason's one would be one of the better 8c2300s IMO, and driven by Enzo. Pete
I noticed Putnam leasing uses the P4/5 in their banner ad here. Did they pay a licensing fee, or are you OK with the image being used?
I will never forget the first time I saw this car in person. I was walking to dinner in downtown Monterey and saw it peeking out at a stoplight 2 blocks down the street. I sprinted all the way to the intersection and fired off my camera continuously until it stopped working. I was excited to say the least, I had no idea I would see this east coast car on the west coast. I have seen you at Pebble before but that was before I found out about Ferrari Chat and read all about your endeavors. Here is my favorite shot of the bunch: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3633/3493079486_8a426e99ec_b.jpg
It's really struck me lately just how hideous so many current production cars are. They stick huge creases, angles, and points all over the place in an attempt to be modern and make things look like stealth fighters. Whereas, with P4/5, you can see how there are angles and creases, but they're subtle. Just enough to create a subtle visual but no more than is needed for that. It's the understated way those little touches were added that give it a modern feel without it making it look like the car is trying too hard to be modern. It's just a very confident and very beautiful design. It's got class. All the best, Andrew.
I think the P 4/5 is a great styling car, maybe not for me though... I could see it being even more stylish in about 10 years time. I would like to see what the Enzo replacement looks like, I hope it has 458-esque beauty.
First time seeing this photo from the roof. Very neat to see what the final version of P4/5 evolved from. >8^) ER Image Unavailable, Please Login
