Most people who know about this car will tell you that this is the most beautiful car ever made. People sneak little bits of it into their sports-car designs even now. Once you have seen a Ferrari 330P4 in the flesh you won’t rest until you have one in your garage.

You may know some of the history around the P4, especially the stories of ding-dong, to and fro with the GT40s at Le Mans. Today, if you raced a P4 against a GT40 you would be left for dead. The V8 GT40 engine development continued to such an extent that they are now both reliable and awesomely quick. Being left for dead is the biggest problem but it’s not the only one. Nowadays, a GT40 is worth £1.0-1.5m and a P4 is worth seven times that. To our way of thinking that puts a lot of pressure on you to leave it in a museum – how could you race a £7-8m car and give it the beans it would require to win?
If there is a faster recreation of the 330P4 out there then we would love the chance to race it, but be warned that this car has won the International Sports Prototype Series in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

We now have an awesome F1-derived Ferrari 3.5 litre V12 engine making 620bhp at 11,000rpm - a ton of power. Fuelled and ready, this car packs about 730bhp per tonne, or in simpler terms, plenty more power to weight than a Bugatti Veyron at about 50% of the weight. We haven’t geared it for top speed but even with short gearing the car will do over 230mph and 0-60 in less than three seconds. Battlestar Galactica power disguised as Bridget Bardot; it’s the best thing on the track.
