Personalized Ferrari a Mere $4 Million

Ferrari

Most people are probably familiar with the trend of customizing cars. Some people put on new wheels, upgrade the engine or get a flashy paint job. Well-to-do New Yorker and former movie director James Glickenhaus, though, took customizing to the extreme. He had Ferrari's design group — Pininfarina — tailor a bright red sports car just for him. The price tag: $4 million.

Pininfarina used computer scans of Glickenhaus' body to get the driver's seat just right. No need for a power adjustable seat in this car. It fits like a glove every time. The Ferrari is called a Ferrari 612 P4/5 and is based on the Ferrari Enzo supercar, which makes 650 hp and hits 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Glickenhaus fully intends to drive his custom car when it returns to New York from the Paris auto show circuit.
