Ferrari Cars in India

In 2014, Ferrari was rated the world's most powerful brand by Brand Finance. In May 2012, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most expensive car in history, selling in a private transaction for USD 38.1 million to American communications magnate Craig McCaw. In 2018, the 250 GTO broke its own record by selling at a massive price of USD 70 million to another Ferrari collector.

Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has been among the most successful racing teams, holding the most constructors championships (16) and having produced the highest number of winning drivers (15).

The 125 S was the first car ever with the Ferrari badge on it, and it was more of a sportscar – for someone who liked going really fast in style. The 166 Inter, designed to be a grand tourer, was introduced in 1949. Even today, what Ferrari sells are mostly road cars. A lot of their cars feature bodywork designed by coachbuilders like Zagato, Bertone, Vignale, Pininfarina and Scaglietti. However, since early 2010, Ferraris have been designed in-house from the Centro Stile Ferrari.

The early road cars were front-engined V12, two-seaters. The Dino was the first mid-engined two-seater from Ferrari in 1968. It employed a V6 engine, and this mid-engine layout was later used on many Ferraris produced from the 1980s, till today. Presently, new Ferrari cars use either V8 bi-turbo or V12 engines.

Ferrari also makes a number of front-engined 2+2 cars, like the V12 GTC 4 Lusso and the V8 Portofino and Lusso T. The company started off making mid-engined V12s in 1973, with the Berlinetta Boxer and later, the Testarossa.

The current Ferrari car model line-up (as of 2018) includes the 812 Superfast, SF90 Stradale, F8 Tributo, 488 Pista, 488 Pista Spider, 488 Spider, GTC4 Lusso, GTC4 Lusso T, Ferrari Portofino, Monza SP1 and Monza SP2. In India, Ferrari car pricing and positioning puts them up right in the supercar territory amongst the Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, and Bentleys.

Ferrari car prices in India start from around 3.8 crore rupees for the 2018 488 GTB. All Ferrari car price listings can be found on the website of autoX.
