It should be really interesting. Who would build the car? Glickenhaus said that he's not converting the P4/5 made for him by Pininfarina.

Would Pininfarina make him another P4/5? Would he hire someone else to fabricate the car?

It would have to be a ground up fabrication, not based on any production chassis - CF tubs are not allowed.

Actually, he can possibly build it on a MC12 race car, itself based on the Enzo.

why not using the FXX Evo, and just modify the bodywork and other stuff

Because when you buy an FXX or an FXX Evo, you have no control of your car. Ferrari does. And FXX isn't made for racing either, so why bother? MC12 Corsa is the most logical choice if it's going to be based on an Enzo platform, no?

CF tubs are not allowed in the specific race series; however there will be an existing Ferrari chassis made of aluminum, and modified with a steel cage where the rules dictate. Rumors suggest a 333sp V12 may be used in the unknown existing ferrari based race chassis; but a v8 seems more likely.

Also, it is being made / prepped by a former PF employee, and will likely not carry the Ferrari badge, or PF badge, but who knows!
