Paris Motor Show: Ferrari 612 P4/5 photos

Eric Bryant just wired a whole batch of pics of our favorite coachbuilt supercar, the James Glickenhaus commissioned Ferrari 612 P4/5! Now it's true we've covered this car extensively in the recent past, but if you don't want to see any more photographs of it, you can just skip this item. For those who can appreciate too much of a good thing when that thing is so very good, click through for more pics and links to previous posts about this Enzo-based homage to the LeMans-winners from Ferrari's glorious racing past.
Scroll fast enough and it will look like a slideshow!

The overall shape reminds me of the old Can-Am cars. Very pretty car.

is it me, or is that car not worth the 4 millions it cost?

A car like that does not necessarily need the model with it but at least she is attractive.
I've been to way too many car shows where there are way too many ugly models. Detroit comes to mind...

mcheddadi:
i disagree. frankly 4 mil seems relatively low to me.
consider what you're getting... over 1 million just to purchase the car because since he got it "used", not in the original offering from ferrari. 3 million for a one-off design from arguably the world's greatest design firm, world class engineering, and manufacturing of expensive components really isn't that bad.
clearly the scale of such a purchase is way beyond any of our means, but when you think about what you're getting, i don't think its unreasonable at all.

Ditto with the exhaust pipes. They look like PVC plumbing pipes. What is up with that?

Actually the exhaust is a nod to the original model:

Being that the diffuser now is at the very bottom the exhaust needed to be placed above.
I think it's a beautiful reinterpretation of the original.

Lets not forget to bash this car for being enviromently irresponsible. Its good for suvs that serve a greater purpose than these super cars do.

is it just me or is that almost identical bodywise to a Pagani Zonda?

That's an insult. The Zonda is the ugliest thing to come out of Italy since Mussolini. This one-off looks something like the Corvette Indy and Banshee concepts of the 1980s. Pretty neat, but not worth $4,000,000.

Those rims suck, plain and simple. Something about the back window design makes it look like a bad plastic 80s toy car. Plus I don't remember the last time stovepipes sticking straight up out of your car was attractive.
The only good thing going for it is it's an ipod compatible enzo.

THIS IS THE CAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING!!! FERRARI AND OTHER AUTOMAKERS SHOULD STOP MAKING GAS HOGS AND MAKE FUEL EFFICIENT ECONOMY AUTOMOBILES!!!
