Today attention to -in my eyes – one of the most beautiful conceptcars ever built. This Ferrari 250 P5 Special was so good, that he is a year later with a different color and logos, the Alfa Romeo stand was allowed to decorate!
When it comes to the most beautiful racing car of Ferrari, the 250 GTO is probably the first time you stand up. A good candidate for the number two is the Ferrari 330 P4, a racing car with amidships placed V12 at a time when the street-legal car from Maranello the block before the driver had (a few street versions of the Ferrari 250 LM excepted).
Pininfarina had by the mid-engine also for street-legal car’s the standard would be, whether or not motivated by the revolutionary Lamborghini Miura with the back (and straight!) placed V12 from 1966. And if the design is still radical on the kick must be compared to the just presented model 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’, then why not one of the most beautiful racing cars of those days to use them as inspiration?
Thus it was at the Geneva car show 1968 Ferrari 250 P5 Special to sparkle. Just as with the first series of Daytona were the headlights hidden behind a strip of plexiglass, but it was the futurist concept into everything else. The lines were voluptuous and undulating as the butt of Kim Kardashian and the view through the huge glass panes all around have been great. Air conditioning seems to us, on the other hand an unnecessary luxury in a moving greenhouse. The doors are of the type ‘gullwing’ and the whole is spectacular.
Also as an Alfa Romeo
Unfortunately, this is one instance, though only a year later in Turin on the Alfa Romeo stand, a concept car that looks more than suspiciously similar. This Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Coupe Special has been klapkoplampen, an Alfa grille and a slightly more conventional bilpartij, further, it seems the car exactly on the Ferrari. Fortunately, the Ferrari is not immolated, because both conceptcars still seem to exist. The Ferrari 250 P5 Special lives also to continue in the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina for James Glickenhaus was designed and built, though it seems to last longer on the 330 P4 based on the concept car from 1968.
