Purists can thumb their snobby noses all day, but the reality is this is a drivable piece of recreated history, like the flying B-17 Memphis Belle I witnessed thundering off the runaway in Duxford England, seeing a working "fake" in action is worth more to most of us than a real McCoy collecting dust in a static museum or some rich prick's 20 car garage. It builds a connection you don't ever forget, puts you closer to those of who got to experience it when it was new. Isn't that what appreciating history is also about?

The money is only one restriction. The real restriction is there is only 5 in the world, that means only 5 people can own one at a time. At some point building a replica becomes a requirement to enjoying your passion. All the money in the world can't buy one if no one wants to sell one. On the rare occasion when one goes up for auction you can bet thousands of millionaires and billionaires bid on one and only one person walks away with the prize. The rest walk away with nothing. again at some point a replica becomes a requirement.

Imagine all the stories he has with regards to the build and the skills he can pass on to a new generation. Peter is an absolute legend and as you say, a genius. He's built his own car and can enjoy it. Cars like this should be driven instead of being stuck in a vast Billionaire's car collection where it'll rarely see the light of day. Where's the fun in that?! Even if I was a Billionaire, I'd still drive an original in anger because you only live once and you can't take these cars with you! As a recreation, this car will still be a huge amount of money (circa $750,000-$1m) but imagine having this or a 1970's Daytona and there's just simply no competition!

Yeah, on skinny damned tires! You could scare the crap out of yourself and any "foolish" passenger you enticed into the car. I understand Peter's desire to keep the "original" proportions because that was what the 1959 Testa Rosa used, but he's running with maybe a hundred extra horsepower and a bunch more torque. I think I'd be buying tires by the truck load even if I was being a "good boy" and not leaving a couple of black stripes every time I got on the throttle!! I was very fortunate in getting to drive several 20-30 years newer Ferraris in a shop I worked in, with much more modern power trains, including lots more rubber, and they could still get you into a whole bunch of trouble if you insisted on getting silly with them. I can just imaging what Peter's car must be like as he has it set up. Wow!!

I hate those kind of upper class people who turn their noses down on anything "fake" or unoriginal. In many cases people pour their soul into building it because they can't afford an original. And what do these genuine ferrari owners do, buy it in mint condition from an auction and let it rot in a garage for years. This guy did a brilliant job on this car. It looks beautiful in bare metal, and anyone who critisises it for being a replica can fuck right off.
@jimsy55308 жыл бұрын
Often, people who think they are upper class solely because they have lots of money are very low class people. The builder is an absolute genius, and the only reason anyone could possibly look down on him or his accomplishment is because they derive far less pleasure from their far more expensive cars, and threatened because they will never have the talent, passion or perseverence to go through with an endeavour as wonderful as this.

Unfortunately, in spite of working in a local Ferrari shop for a few years, I don't have access to the skills Peter Giacobbi and his friends demonstrate. They are hard to come by, as well as the resources. I'm extremely impressed with what he and his friends have accomplished.

I'd certainly like to see a Petrolicious videos on his shop, not just on this example. That would be very interesting!!

Ferrari should make this car an official car, how could you not think this is a real Ferrari. it enhances the brand it does not tarnish, it after all they made the P4/5 a official car and a super rich guy getting Pininfarina to build him a custom Ferrari is far less interesting then this car.

And now everyone can buy ferrari parts and come up with things that equal an original? There is a line between these things. The brand would lose all pedigree if they say this is an official one. I think this custom project is superb, but no, the factory just wont acknowledge it as an original mate.
