Been around for a while now. There are a lot of things I think they did right, unfortunately the things they did wrong seem to detract an awful lot too. That color is not helping one bit.

Yes it it. It was done through their "coachbuilding" program or w/e they call it. More or less, a 599 re-bodied to how this particular guy wanted it... interesting though to see how far they'll go for ONE car. I doubt creating a new body style is an easy process, and they did it for ONE car. BUT, everything has a price :)

Honestly I dont think it looks bad. The design was to pay homage to a classic ferrari that starred in some movie. Obviously its a 599 rebody and a one off. Here is what I found online about the car it was designed to mimmick "Carrozzeria Fantuzzi-designed Ferrari built specifically for the 1968 Fellini film, Toby Dammit, itself inspired by one of the tales of Edgar Allan Poe."

I remember him saying the same, but could not confirm. Can't find the thread though.

Good, so im not making things up. It was a thread about the F430 abomination. At least the P540 looks like its modified a bit more. The F430 thing just looks like they put some stupid bodykit on a 430.

How much did the P4/5 cost?

 

I know its "Enzo-based" so Im guessing north of 7 figures?

 

If so... fcuk that. $1MM+ for an F430?!? You can keep that shit.

Who knows...but realize the fact that he bought an Enzo, then they did all the R&D to make the P4/5 body be more aerodynamic then the enzo....so considering the Enzo was almost a 7 figure car, i would say thats a safe bet!

I know the owner of this car. He's in Hawaii, he has two dobermans and I believe his employee drives it. The guy has a mustache, a perm wears a Hawaiin shirt and is named after a gun. His buddy flies a Helicopter.

 

Oh found a picture of the driver
