Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
Ferrari has long been renowned for its sporty, high-performance vehicles. While many may think of the Italian automaker as a luxury brand, the company is also known for producing reliable, powerful cars that are well-built and affordable. One of the latest endeavors from the automaker is the GTC4 Lusso T, a station wagon that has an SUV-like appearance. The vehicle is a two-door, four-seat wagon that maintains the look of the Ferrari brand and offers the practicality of an SUV.
Ferrari is a manufacturer of hand-built sports cars. Its history begins with Enzo Ferrari, who began his car-building career as a teenager. His goal was to build the fastest racing car in the world. In attempting to do so, he learned a lot about what the public desired. He made it clear that he would be able to offer the public something they didn't already have. As a result, the automaker has produced several hand-built, high-performance models over the years.
Some of the most popular cars produced by the company were the 250 GT SWB Breadvan and the 550 Maranello. These were both based on the Hillman Minx Magnificent, which was also a popular station wagon. Both models had a unique shooting brake design. They were mated to five-speed manual transmissions and could reach 60 mph in less than seven seconds.
Although there have been a few Ferrari station wagons, they are no longer in production. There are, however, a number of models built on small car chassis. Several are sold today as authorized Ferrari vehicles.
The most expensive of these was the 456 GT Venice, which was built for the Sultan of Brunei. This model is extremely rare. Only six examples were built, and they were priced at $1.5 million each.
In the 1990s, this was a very desirable vehicle. It had a 5.5-liter V-12 engine and a rear lift gate. It also had a roof extension and a hatchback, which gave it more room and additional cargo space. Even the backseat was spacious enough for a person to sit comfortably.
Since this was a special model, it didn't last long. Ferrari only produced six of these bespoke models. A seventh test mule is believed to have been purchased by a British collector.
Another notable model was the FF, which was a two-door, four-seat station wagon. Designed by Bob Peak, the car featured a single-cam V12 engine and a five-speed manual transmission. The FF was the only estate-style Ferrari at the time. However, production ended after the decline of the large car market.
There is another Ferrari estate wagon, the Lusso-GTC4. It is available in both coupe and sedan variants. Like the FF, it features a 6.3-litre V12 engine that produces 660 horsepower. The vehicle is designed for speed and has carbon ceramic Brembo brakes.
Overall, the Ferrari station wagon is a nice option for any car enthusiast. Its sleek styling and impressive performance make it a worthy choice.
