I saw the PF Rosso prototype at the Essen Motor show this year. It's really a good looking car. I know the VIN is 104982. Does anyone have more information of this car? I know this car is for sale at classicscars.com. -Anyone knows the price of this car? -History, owners? -Which engine? -pics? Thanks
The Scuderia Ferrari Austria had a visit to the pininfarina factory and we´ve been welcomed by lorenza pininfarina herself. the rossa was displayed next to a dummy-Mythos. the original Mythos based on a Testarossa was sold to japan - as far as i know. i did not know, that the rossa is for sale !
The Rossa was shown at the 2000 Turin Auto Show. It was desgined to honour Sergio Pininfarina's 70th birthday. It was built on a shortened 550 Maranello chassis. The car is still property of the Pininfarina Company. Joop van der Meer
Here is a link where you can see the "Rosso" for sale: http://www.classicscars.com/ferrari/ferrari.html
HOLY ****, IT'S A REAL CAR...! i thought it was just a computer-generate DESign...! Oh, man, it looks great...! Very nice... Anyone have any specs on this thing...? Who owns it...?
DES, its basically a 550 Maranello with another body and a shorter chassis. And probably 300/400kgs less ! Still 485 hp for 1300 kgs...Should be fun.
Check your sources. Okuyama designed it while working at Pininfarina. There's an article about him in Forza #43. Page 48, first column.
Maybe you're right. I got my infos herehttp://www.pininfarina.it/eng/history/cooperation/ferrari5.html 2nd paragraph
I suggest you run a search on Yahoo using "ken okuyama ferrari rossa". There are a whole bunch of different articles that confirms it.
I wish they made more of these. Shouldn't this car be a great car to arrive at a Ferrari meeting? I think everyone will notice you. Great work of Pininfarina or should I say Okuyama
I have seen this car up close and i have to say its by far my fave car of all time, the guy who was "looking after" it when i saw it was smoking and all the ash was falling in the lush interior, i wanted to punch him, as soon as my scanner starts working i'll post the picture with me next to it
