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

We'll have to see but remember the purpose of this car isn't to win races. I'm hoping for a good looking, very street usable Supercar that will be comfortable for great drives on great roads with the one I love and enough of her luggage to keep her happy.

 

But if it blew the doors of a stock Enzo you wouldn't complain!

 

True but I still wouldn't try to race an R10...

 

Enough luggage to keep her happy? Ah, so this will be an estate, shooting brake, whatever the fancy name for station wagons?

I was given a ride in one of those once. (One done by PF) and it was done to a very high standard. A lot of work went into it and it showed. They even replaced the auto box with one that worked great.

 

Hi Jim
out of my idle and humble curiousity...

Q. Did you drive the Enzo while it was virgin stock?

you haven't answered about it's doors...

how will it be called ?

P.S. Sorry if I'm being annoying

 

See post #184 of 8 February 2006 for the name of the car and for the original NY license plate on the car.

might have been because it was posted on this thread post 349

 

so it has a really curvy glass doors?

 

Having been privileged to see some prototype pics, my guess is that the public reaction to this car will be like the 599:

1. Some of you will love it.

2. Some of you will hate it.

3. Some will like certain aspects and hate the rest.

4. Others will hate certain parts and love the rest.

However, the really cool thing is that none of this matters. This is Jim's car. It is his vision of how a modern exotic Ferrari should look. It doesn't get much more "Old School" than this. You take one demented car nut and mix him together with the premier Italian body builder, and the result is nothing like anyone has ever seen before - or may seen again.

Even if you don't like the car, you'll end up admitting that it leaves no doubt that it is an Italian exotic sports car. In this world of copy cat "Bangle" sharp edges, the curves on this car are truly refreshing.

Play on brother. Wave your freak flag high!

I don't like Bangle's "Flame surfaces" style - too transient. I like curves, women have curves, so should cars.

 

I like curves as well...

God , October is too far away !

 

when maybach came with the excelero, i thought: "nice"

when a swiss banker ordered the morgan aeromax, i thought: "great!"

now that i read through all this, i think: 'oh my...!!'


I've always been a fan of coachbuilding, it just so nice to see people make their fantasies into reality. and i feel like your fantasy is very close to mine.

Jim,
fantastic work and a project to be proud of! you'll get known as the count volpi of the americas

 

That's exactly what this project is. A coachbuilder helping one to realize their dreams.

 

jim, is this a hint at the styling of the new car?

i take it you are not a lambo fan!

 

I've been following this thread periodically, but haven't read every post... Forgive me if some of this has been addressed....

Is the wheel base / track unaltered from the enzo?
Center driving position, with a single seat or 3 seat configuration? or a more standard 2 seat / 2+2 / or 4 seat arrangement?

Like the rest, I am enjoying the speculation and the dream... If I could build whatever I wanted what would it be....

Thanks for sharing!

 

very interesting style, if it will be the next Ferrari i will not desagre.

 

I can only hope the car will make it to florida...

Perhaps maranello madness in November 2006...

Perhaps the 2007 Cavallino Classic

 

Hi
Wheelbase remains the same as Enzo.
Standard 2 seat configuration.

 

Perhaps.

I like do like Lambo's esp. the Muria. (Original)

 

Unfortunately, there are those who believe that a rebodied Ferrari, such as Jim's Enzo, is no longer a Ferrari and, thus, not eligible for events like Cavallino.

The irony, if this view does prevail, is that these same "purists" are the ones who will most appreciate this car.
