Take a look at the Ferrari P3/4 built for the blockbuster Ford V Ferrari. 1966 LeMans in Europe

hello my name is steve foster and welcome to this edition of legends of the road today we are going to review the

ferrari

p3 which was created for the hit movie that came out a couple of years ago called

ford

versus

ferrari

this car is very accurate visual interpretation of the ferrari who fought against Ford in

1966

at Le Mans. They made four of these cars for the movie and this is one of the ones that was used during the filming of the movie with a variety of numbers, so I'm going to give you a brief tour of the car and explain some of its features, for what the bodywork is a representation of the p3.

It actually has a p4 series wheel, which is a magnesium five-spoke with genuine imitations, another example of the attention to detail. What was paid for by the cruel movie was a firestone stamped into the Avon racing tires to make them

look

accurate, so a detail like that wouldn't normally be something a movie production company would consider, but they really went out of their way to achieve precision in Ford versus Ferrari. The car is a right hand drive vehicle and the doors open like the original. Only a handful of originals were created. One of them currently resides in the Ferrari Museum in Marinello.

Another is with a private collector in Florida and a couple of them were lost. to damage, making it an extremely rare Ferrari competition car. Current values ​​would probably be if one went up for sale, which they never make at least $50 million. It has sliding plexiglass windows, which is what they would have done back then and this is it. This is all you have, so when it's hot you can open that window and hopefully it will reduce the condensation in the car. It has a modern set of seat belts and we

look

forward to taking it to the track.

Hopefully we'll do a Ford versus Ferrari movie car rally in the future, so we're trying to make this as safe as possible. This car has a similar seat to the original car. On the original car, these would have been where the fuel tanks resided. on each side so the gas caps flip up and this car for safety reasons for filming the gas cap is behind the driver with original fuel cell style seats the upholstery is actually one of the last surviving upholstery used by Ferrari in the real world. cars and I got it through a good friend of mine who does Ferrari restorations.

The steering wheel on this car is an original Momo Manza 66 67 steering wheel. It is an accurate representation. It is a real representation of the steering wheel that was used in the period of the dashboard design. It's very similar, a lot of the switches are original from Italy, as are the gauges, a couple of things that are nice little touches, this Lucas switch is very easy to over

take

, so when you're on the multi straight at 200 miles . an hour and you needed to pass a slower car, you would just activate this blinker and of course it would turn on the set of lights on the front, so now let's go ahead and turn the car on as well some of the other cool things. stuff on this car so it's got a period bell helmet and then one of the firestone jackets that the Italians wore in the pits and of course it looks like they were smaller guys than the people we have now and This It's one of the original jackets and then there's a company that's making the Dunlop driving suit that Lorenzo Bandini would have worn, which is the number that this car represents, so this is the cotton Dunlop driving suit that's being reproduced and This is all the driver had back then for protection it was not fireproof in any way, a set of vintage glasses and the old Italian driving gloves.

Some of the other details on this car are showing attention to detail. These are the original cast aluminum tail light. original reflector bezels original tail light lenses that were used on the actual car in the period of course the prova mo36 is what the Ferrari factory used when they tested their vehicles so provo met test mo means modena of course , is where the cars were and then the 36 was just an identification number for that test vehicle, so I was able to get a personalized license plate from Provo One in Arizona, which I thought kind of cooled the car down, depending on the change, Is it capable of reaching over 200 miles per hour, I don't know.

I know I would do that on this car right now but I certainly could depending on the gear ratio and drivetrain of this car, obviously they didn't get a Ferrari 4 liter v12 so what they used was a General Motors ls3 box . with a hotter camshaft, custom in

take

and exhaust horsepower will probably be in the 550 575 range. It is matched to a modern Porsche transaxle, making it a mid-engined vehicle. It has a rear-mounted transaxle drive. The car weighs around 1500 pounds instead, so the power-to-weight ratio of this car is actually higher than the original. Weight is similar, but this car probably has another 50 to 60 horsepower.

Extremely easy modern drivability, but the appearance is that of an old car. The chassis of this car is custom made. chassis created by a company in detroit and it is aluminum monocoque chassis, it has forged aluminum upper and lower control arms over suspension, large brakes, so it is a modern interpretation with a similar design, the original car had a tube frame Of course, this one has the same proportions and has a very convincing visual representation thanks for watching legends of the road. I would like to invite you to watch our next episodes where we will review vintage cars, rare movie cars, Porsche hot rods and all kinds of interesting and exciting vehicles.

Thank you.
