Ferrari P4/5 pix

I'm not really one to drool over ultra-exotic autos that I'll never even SEE with my own eyes, but this is just amazing. the Enzo should have looked like this:

the new issue of C&D has an article on the P4/5. it's a rebodied Enzo that is actually faster (better aero) than the "base" car.

Wow, that is nice looking. Those wheels look heavy as hell.... but I'm guessing they are pretty lightweight really.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Knowing Ferrari, they are probably titanium (my favorite metal but ultra $$$$$$) or some form of experimental lightweight blend.

Or maybe the car is so damn light they needed weight somewhere so they made the wheels heavy :lol:

the wheels might be magnesium. in the pic of them being machined they looked bright silver, not quite like titanium or magnesium. I've never heard of titanium wheels, it's probably an allow of magnesium and aluminum.
or maybe they're made out of money: wads of $100 bills burned, then compressed to diamond-like hardness, then machined... :rolllaugh:

Oh there are titanium wheels but they cost a fortune and are hard to come by!!!! I think you have to be a sheik or a prince of arabian oil fields to own a set :lol:

lol well i know google was paying them to have it on their site.. no what made me laugh was

the "huge selection" of enzo ferraris.... their "bargin prices" on the 360 modena.... and the "walmart, everyday low prices" silverado accessories superstore. not to mention the radical new body styles cars seem to have taken on. very insect inspired
