VIDEO: James Glickenhaus’ Ferrari P4/5 Competizione Hits the Nurburgring Track

After commissioning a one-off Enzo-based Ferrari P4/5 from Pininfarina, American millionaire James Glickenhaus wanted a similar car for racing, and that’s how the P4/5 Competizione was born. Similar in shape to the road-going Pininfarina model but different mechanically, the racing version shares many components with the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and the 430 GT2. The P4/5 Competizione features a 4.0-liter V8 engine pushing out 450HP and 600 Nm of torque (442.5 lb-ft), and a carbon-fiber body that helps keep the weight down to 1,230 kg (2,712 lbs).

Ferrari P4/5: James Glickenhaus And His Hot Italian Mistress

We’re sure you remember it; the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, a one-off commissioned by American collector, James Glickenhaus, initially released to the public at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours followed by an international debut at the 2006 Paris Show. The P4/5 project started off in 2005 when Glickenhaus purchased a $1m Ferrari Enzo which he immediately sent to Pininfarina's Italian design studio for a complete makeover.

Being a fan and an owner of a rebuilt Ferrari 330 P3/4, Glickenhaus ordered Pininfarina to create a modern interpretation of the legendary 60’s race car. Obviously, to say that Pininfarnia simply covered the Enzo with a new outfit is the definition of an understatement. Check out this unique supercar in action and see what Glickenhaus has to say about it in this video that was shot by Jynxproductions in Westchester County for the German car show “auto motor and sport tv”. -Ferrari P4/5 High-Res Wallpapers after the jump
