Re: official P4/5 pic
Evo 098, Gordon Murray:
"How many of our today's cars will be considered classics in, say, 20 or 30 years' time?
One that will be is the brand-new Pininfarina-designed one-off Ferrari P4/5 supercar, based on a Ferrari Enzo. All supercars have presence and a certain "dramatic" look, but not all of them have style. The Enzo is certainly dramatic, but it manages to look very large (it is!) and very disjointed - the lines just don't flow. Panel shut gaps are too big and obvious, the front overhang is just too long, and the whole effect is styling rather than style.
Enter the P4/5 - a truly beautiful, balanced shape. I'm sure Pininfarina will have the "retro" finger pointed at them, but while there's no mistaking its heritage, the style is crisp, fresh and bang up to date. This is not a sycophantic exercise like the Ford GT but very much a new design in its own right. If I was offered the keys to either the Enzo or the P4/5, I know which one I would be driving home."

I like it.... but for $4-5 mln?!!
C'mon
It's all relative. If I had the money an the opportunity hell yeah I'd do it. People spend $4-5 million on yachts all the time but they lose huge amounts of value the minute they're run so why not a car (especially one custom built to your specs by FERRARI). Even more people invest that kind of money buying something intangible AND with a chance that they'll lose money. No question he'd get more than he paid if he went to sell and no doubt it will be worth more, probably lots more in 10/20 yrs from now. PLUS the biggest feature of course is the amount of fun and experiences you get for your money vs. using it for something else like a paper investment. After-all what good is working hard & being wealthy if you don't buy stuff with the money to enjoy?
Hows that Jim? Good enough to give me a ride next time? lol! It's a re-made version of the speech I give to my wife when we buy a sports car.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks awful?From the comments I've read, it seems I am. Oh well, people have different taste and thank God for that
I think you are.But then you probably thought the P3 was ugly too?
LOL!
here's what P4/5 fights for garage space with
Re: official P4/5 pic
I actually like the P3 more. That was back in the good old days, when the cars could like that, imo. And by running through the posts it does seem I am not the only one, thank God.
