A Truly one of a Kind Ferrari: Ferrari P4/5.

Now it has been said that there's never been a cheap Ferrari. Whoever says that, is totally right. Ferraris have always been uber expensive super cars only accessible by people who could afford one, mostly playboys or millionaires. However, Ferraris are production cars just like Fords, albiet a bit more limited. As a result you can, if you save enough, buy an Italian drivers car from a company with a legendary racing pedigree.....or can you?

This car, the P4/5 is a Ferrari. It was designed by Ferrari's go to designer Pininfarina to resemble a 1960s Ferrari 330 P4 LM racer from the future. Its a beautiful machine and sadly this is the only picture iver ever taken of it.

The thing is though, this car cannot be bought from Ferrari, nor was it produced by them. It started out as a million dollar Ferrari Enzo supercar. Its owner, a NY car collector took the car and commissioned Pininfarina to make a retro body for the existing chassis. It was completed and unveiled in 2006 at the Pebble Beach Concours. I was able to get this shot at the 2007 Palm Beach Supercar Weekend.  This car is truly one of a kind and is too complex for Ferrari to make into a production car.

Pity, because its heaven on wheels.
