Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione (Prototype)

The Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione is a one-off, Le Mans-inspired endurance prototype developed by James Glickenhaus and built by Pininfarina/Podium Engineering for serious competition. Based on Ferrari underpinnings and shaped into a bespoke closed-cockpit racer, it mixes classic Italian drama with real track-ready aero and endurance intent.

Key Specs (BoP-dependent, typical sim values)

  • Powertrain: 6.0L naturally aspirated Ferrari-derived V12 (mid-mounted, longitudinal)

  • Total Output: ~680 hp

  • Redline: ~8,500 rpm

  • Transmission: 6-speed sequential

  • Weight: ~1,000 kg

  • Dimensions: Custom one-off prototype proportions; roughly GT-sized with low-slung Le Mans bodywork

  • Tires: Racing slicks on center-lock competition wheels

  • Brakes: Carbon-ceramic racing brakes with multi-piston calipers

  • Layout: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive

In the Simulator Feel

The P4/5 Competizione is a raw, responsive, and highly mechanical prototype that feels every bit like a hand-built special. It has the kind of balanced chassis you expect from a serious endurance racer, but the car’s bespoke nature gives it a more analog, slightly edgy personality than a factory-developed prototype. It rewards commitment, smoothness, and a confident right foot.

Engine & Sound: The Ferrari V12 is the star of the show — loud, exotic, and full of race-car texture. It delivers a hard-charging midrange and a soaring top-end scream, with immediate throttle response and very little of the muted character you get from turbocharged machinery. In the sim, it’s one of those cars you drive partly for the lap time and partly just to hear it at full song.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Sharp turn-in and strong mid-corner balance, but it can become nervous if you overdrive entry speed.

  • Traction: Good mechanical grip, though power delivery demands care when exiting slow corners.

  • Braking: Strong endurance-racing braking performance with plenty of stopping power.

  • Top Speed: Competitive on long straights, with enough V12 power to stay lively in fast sections.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it like a precision prototype rather than a blunt GT car. Use smooth trail braking, keep the car settled on entry, and let the V12 sing on corner exit without snapping the rear tires.

Livery & Aesthetics: The P4/5 Competizione is a true statement car — low, exotic, and unmistakably coachbuilt. Its flowing bodywork, Le Mans-style canopy, and Ferrari-inspired details make it one of the most striking machines in any sim garage, especially in classic endurance liveries.

Whether you’re chasing hot laps or just want a rare, unforgettable prototype experience, the Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione delivers a uniquely analog blend of art, speed, and endurance-racing attitude.
