Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5

The story of the P4/5�s conception is appropriately operatic, a tale of intrigue and artifice worthy of Giuseppe Verdi. But first, the background.As in any long and very successful marriage, the prancing stallion of Ferrari and gracious Pininfarina are bound by ties of convenience and habit. They�ve weathered distractions and dalliances, and their progeny, dating back to the earliest post�World War II Italian grand-touring cars, are timeless. Then along came the 612 Scaglietti. Begun in 2002 and finalized in 2004, its birth was a wrangle between Ferrari and Pininfarina. When early images of the 612 found their way onto the Internet, the Ferrari faithful were not happy. Some said, �Ah, just look � Pininfarina has lost it!�
Only Ferrari and Pininfarina will ever know how much of the 612 was Ferrari�s and how much Pininfarina�s. But it would be understandable if Pininfarina wanted to prove it had not lost it. Bene! Pininfarina would do a very special hyper-car � a one-off Enzo-based Ferrari.
