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).
The main event for the car this year will be the Nurburgring 24 Hours race on June 25, with the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus team performing intensive tests this year. The latest test session for the P4/5 Competizione took place at the Nordschleife, where all the team's drivers (Mika Salo, Fabrizio Giovanardi, Nicola Larini and Luca Capellari) got some time behind the wheel.
