There’s nothing more desirable than a Ferrari, at least that’s what we auto journalists believe. Ferrari, for those living under a rock, is an Italian luxury sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, which made its first car in 1940 and was first recognized as a potential automaker in 1947.
Ferrari has been present in India for quite some time now. The luxury automaker has presented the Indian consumers with a range of fiercely quick and extremely desirable supercars. And while some of the models from Ferrari are still in the pipeline to enter the Indian shores, there are some very capable ones already on sale in the Indian market.
So, to give you a brief of Ferrari’s product portfolio in the Indian market, we’ve prepared this list, which resides all the necessary data on these models. Catch all about the Ferrari models on sale in India – as of late-2020 – down below.
1. Ferrari Portofino
Starting with the brand’s entry-level supercar, the Portofino is the entry-ticket to the whole Ferrari ecosystem and despite being an entry-level model – mind you, it is still not affordable by any means – the Portofino packs a lot for the buck. It is the spiritual successor to the California of yore, which, to be quite honest, looked slightly timid, to begin with. This also makes the Portofino the most anticipated model in the automaker’s portfolio, for it specifically caters to over two-thirds of the brand’s potential consumers in the Indian market, who also stand as first-time Ferrari buyers in India. Powering the Portofino is a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 gasoline unit – borrowed from the California – which makes 591bhp and 760Nm of torque and comes mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
2. Ferrari F8 Tributo
The Ferrari F8 Tributo is a rather special supercar, even for a luxury automobile manufacturer like Ferrari cars. You see, decoding the moniker of the model reveals that the F8 Tributo pays homage to the most powerful V8 engine from the automaker, which has won multiple awards in its entirety. To be precise, Ferrari’s twin-turbo V8 motor has impressed critics all over the world and won the International Engine + Powertrain of the Year award four consecutive years in a row. The F8 Tributo was unveiled at the 2019 Geneva motor show and is the spiritual successor to the now-discontinued 488 from the Italian manufacturer. It is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 gasoline motor, which is capable of churning out 711bhp and 771Nm of torque. Further, the engine comes mated to a 7-speed automatic gearbox as a standard fit.
3. Ferrari GTC4 Lusso
With the GTC4 Lusso, Ferrari has taken a different approach by combining the inherent qualities of a supercar with the practicality and comfort of a luxury coupe. So, the end result is something that might not meet the eyes of every soul, but it sure is one heck of a beautiful machine. It is the only practical machine – as of late-2020 – that wears the prancing horse moniker. Moreover, GTC4 breaks down to a 4-seater grand-tourer, whereas the ‘Lusso’ suffix translates to luxury from Italian.
4. Ferrari 812
Last but not the least, the Ferrari 812 is the flagship model from the Italian automaker in the Indian market. It is available in a sole ‘Superfast’ trim; therefore, some also term it as Ferrari 812 Superfast. And if Ferrari calls its supercar a Superfast machine, it really is a Superfast machine. After all, powering the 812 is a massive 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine, good for 789bhp and 718Nm of torque. Ferrari says that the 812 Superfast can do a 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds. Moreover, the engine comes mated to a 7-speed DCT gearbox as a standard fitment. It also comes with a ton of electronics to ensure that all this raw power doesn’t kill the people on board.
