James Glickenhaus, the owner of the wildly popular P4/5 (a modified Enzo,) talks about his $5 million supercar created just for him by Pininfarina. The video shows some nice shots of the car, him explaining the process of creating the car, as well as James driving it on the street.

James purchased the last unsold Enzo from Ferrari and immediately took it to Pininfarina to recreate a modern version of Ferrari’s P3/4, one of which Mr. Glickenhaus also owns. On top of the $1 million price of the Enzo, James reportedly paid $4 million for the redesign. A small price to pay for such exclusivity, one might say.

Supercars.net just released their 3rd annual “Top 10 Supercars” list for 2006. First place is a no-brainer, but there are a couple of surprises. Keep reading for the list:

Did James Glickenhaus’ re-bodied Enzo (the Ferrari P4/5) not do it for you? It seems the Sultan of Brunei and his brother Prince Jefri were obsessive about their supercars. With a collection much more impressive than Jay Leno’s, they went nuts in the mid-90’s, secretly buying hundreds of supercars and having them custom appointed by the best. In the case of this recently discovered 1995 Jaguar XJ220, they had Pininfarina redesign the body and interior.

Noticeably better looking (in my opinion,) but it looks a bit like a smoothed-out Acura NSX (not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.) You’ll notice the fixed headlights which replace the ugly pop-up lights help give the car a more aggressive stance. On a side note, I think all pop-up headlights should be abolished and replaced with the fixed beams. They look terrible when deployed, and destroy and good looks the car may have had when they were down, not to mention kill the aerodynamics.

Giving this car company in the Sultan’s garage were apparently two McLaren F1 LM’s, four astonishingly rare Ferrari FX’s, and fifteen (yes, that’s 15) other XJ220’s. Oh yeah, and that was just one of his garages. At least he had good taste. I should make an “envy” category for these types of posts.
