Skimmed the site.. Looks like works just getting started. Must be great living the auto enthusiasts dream, an added plus being your realized efforts provide the rest of us gearheads the satisfaction in witnessing these projects come to fruition.
Do you have any other plans in the works, or will you take time off to bask in the glory of the p4/5 family you're breeding?
Keep us posted.. You never disappoint Jim.
Hey Jim, can I get one of the scud's seats at a blowout price?
jkjkjk
Really though, keep up the progress ;)
A Scud seat would make a pretty awesome lounge room chair. Or gaming rig.
Great to see more progress Jim, your projects like this are truely awesome.
This is rediculously cool and a road version is gonna be even cooler. Do you have plans to enter LMS or FIA GT (if it survives) or is the 'Ring 24 gonna be it's only voyage?
If it's street legal it may not comply with GT2 regs.. and if it does comply, it might not be competative with the compromises to keep it street legal. That would clearly be awesome though.

It will be EXP1 basically a GT2 except for the fact that it's body shape is based on a one of one (P 4/5) not a holomagated car like an F 430. It's race mechanicals will be F430 GT2. It will run with cats and DOT headlights etc.
After the race other road modifications will be made.
So far it's just the 24 of Nurburgring and likely a practice 6 hour race but I do think she'll bring some fans along so who knows we may get more invitations to race. If Le Mans called I wouldn't say no.

Any idea what the livery will look like? I'm drooling just imagining those curves in Blu Pozzi or TdF!

I used to live not far from there.
Great news btw, can't wait to see it in all its glory! :)

Hope To See You There in 2011
You planning to run any ALMS event at all? I am sure IMSA can find a way to let your car race even if ACO won't...

The Gran Turismo decal on the windscreen.. is that because they're a sponser, or is it an indication that the car might be in GT5?

They're a sponsor of the Race. I remain hopeful that she'll be in their game.

If you have a choice I'd personally prefer Forza 3... but that's because that's on the system I own. :D Still, it'd be cool either way.
Interesting where this turned up...

Oooh.. the plot thickens?
[quote=Google Translate]Failing to have his name in the Top 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ferrari 330 P4 (1967) marked his time with the purity of its forms. In 2006, the film director James Glikenhaus homage to him by ordering a single model, the P4 / 5, Pininfarina.
Today, the U.S. embarked on a more ambitious project: to make a second P4 / 5, and align the start of the next edition of the 24h Nürburgring! The Competizione will be bound in the category "experimental" and could face the Alfa Zagato TZ3 Rome and the Porsche 911 Spyder and 918 hybrid.
Unlike the first model, built on the basis of Enzo, the racing version will use the chassis of the 430 Scuderia and the engine of the GT2. Why not also use the chassis of the GT2? Because James Glickenhaus then heard to approve his new toy for the road![/quote]
It'll be quite brilliant if it ends up at LeMans.

So ACO has taken notice....(pity that they refer to the TZ3, which is only a rebodied Gillet Vertigo, and has nothing to do with Alfa Romeo...)

Here's our latest thoughts on Livery.
Very nice seeing U guys!
That is one very sexy rectangular car.
[quote=whiteballz;945855]That is one very sexy rectangular car.[/quote]
as it is supposed to emulate the 1967 P4, "rectangular" is not a word that I would use. Sexy is OK though:)

Aero wise, the platform beneath is best left as big as it can be....

i wish i could have met you at Quail. but I was at Concorso, where your name came up a few times in conversation. lots of people were wondering why the P4/5 wasn't there.
