I think that the car has a nice ody. what type is it ?

Ummmm, wow.

It's called the Pininfarina P4/5. It's a privately commissioned car
built off an Enzo chassis (that has been re-engineered, and the
drivetrain has had some work done on it also). The owner has one of the
original 330 P3/4s and is an avid fan of that car, and he wanted to
design a car that he felt would pay homage to the original P3/4 while
utilizing today's ultimate Ferrari mechanicals. The total cost of the
project was around $4M, and Ferrari was impressed enough with it to
badge it as a Ferrari and provide complete technical/factory/warranty
support.

Since a lot of weight was shaved off during the design and build
processes, along with the use of some different drivetrain pieces and a
LOT of carbon fiber, the performance of this car is somewhere north of
the McLaren F1. There will be very few cars on the planet, if any, that
can "blow this thing away". (I say it that way because I'm sure there
are several that could either keep pace or be very close. But as far as
putting the P4/5 well into it's rear view mirror, nothing. Maybe a
Veyron - but I doubt any Veyron owners will have the balls to break it
open like that.) Jimm feels that 240 mph is not unattainable, maybe
more than that if he wanted to take that kind of risk.

This is where I first heard about it. This particular thread contains
something like 18 quintillion posts, but if you feel like browsing
through it, maybe start from the LAST page and move down a bit. You
could do worse than to hang out at Ferrarichat if you want to learn
about Ferraris (please, no wisecracks on coming to THIS place).

Actually, you could just go to this web site which was put together by
fans of the project and friends of the owner, specifically to discuss
the project:
