FIRST IN LONDON – Sold out before even landing at the dealership. In defiance of a list price which, in Italy, starts at 390,000 euros. There Thoroughbred Ferrari it was made to wait a bit, joining the “party” of raised-wheel supercars a few years behind its direct rivals. Precisely the wait for the first SUV of the Prancing Horse (even if, in reality, it is more of a crossover than a sport utility), almost spasmodic given the continuous succession of rumors and indiscretions about an effective arrival in the Ferrari range, ignited the desire to own one as soon as possible in those who, of course, are lucky enough to be able to afford it. With the book of origins momentarily Closed and the choice of the Maranello house not to open any overbooking, the customer who has just received a phone call from the Ferrari HR Owen showroom in Mayfar, London, will therefore be thrilled.
ENCHANT IN BLACK – The first Thoroughbred Ferrari to appear in public (at least as it appears from a video that appeared on YouTube a few days ago) is Thoroughbred black, a sophisticated tint as, in the light, it appears slightly illuminated by some dark red sparks. Under the hood, of course, roars the 6.5 naturally aspirated V12 with 715 HP. The noble “heart” of the raised four-seater Prancing Horse represents the greatest element of distinction in the all-Emilian derby with the Lamborghini managementpowered by a smaller 666 bhp 4.0 V8 biturbo (an engine which, in various power configurations, equips other luxury models of the Volkswagen group, including the Porsche Cayenne and Panamera, some Audi S and RS, the A8, and naturally the Bentley Continental and Flying Spur).
IT’S NOT THE ONLY V12 SUPER SUV – For the record, it is good to remember that the Thoroughbred Ferrari she’s not the only one extra-luxury SUV equipped with a twelve-cylinder engine. Across the Channel, the very luxurious (and very expensive) Rolls-Royce Cullinan (powered by a 6.7 V12 biturbo of 571, in Italy it costs, excluding options, 351,000 euros) and Bentley Bentayga (available, alongside the V8 and V6 hybrid versions, can share this pride also the Speed, powered by a 635 bhp 6.0 W12 biturbo engine of Audi origin).
