Ferrari P4/5 Competizione on the Franciacorta racetrack [video]

Video shows Ferrari P4/5 Competizione doing laps around the track and also takes us up close in the pits too

More great video from Marchettino, who continues to kindly spare us the usual techno-soundtrack for the simple and wonderous mechanical sounds of the car in question.

This time it's the Ferrari P4/5 Competizione, doing some testing on the Franciacorta racetrack in Northern Italy in preparation for its entry at this year's 24hr Nürburgring endurance race in June.

It's a foggy day but that doesn't slow down the P4/5 Competizione one bit. And Marchettino also manages to take us into the pit garage too and even have a peek inside the cockpit. The car is also wearing a New York license plate which we don't believe is entirely applicable to an Italian race track.

The Ferrari P4/5 Competizione is a project by James Glickenhaus, who commissioned a one-off Pininfarina-designed P4/5 back in 2006 but has now developed his own Competizione version based on the F430 Scuderia and using the same engine and suspension as the Ferrari F430 GT2 ALMS.

This car is so bad a**! It might not be the prettiest design to some, but everything about it says 'I'm gonna kick your a**'!

They should have put a V12 engine & put that car in GT1 class instead of V8 in GT2 class. Good to see that Ferrari roaring!!!!

It's dirty and you know you want it! That's just for the soundtrack!! Snap! Crackle and Pop! Imagine what the roadgoing version drives like which this American gazillionaire (whose name escapes me now) has commissioned Ferrari to make for him? That could explain the US plates on the P 45 C in the video!! The forthcoming 24 HR LE MAN should be almost a one-horse race for Ferrari!
