Sep 17 2008Just Plain Wrong: A Ferrari Station Wagon

ferwagon-1.jpg

In this installment of money doesn't buy class comes a Ferrari station wagon. It was custom built by Ferrari for the Sultanate of Brunei and is making me sick to my stomach. The only thing worse than paying Ferrari to build a station wagon is to make one yourself. I just don't get it. And in other news, the new Facebook sucks monster hangy-downy dinosaur balls and I wish I did too.

Hit the jump for two more pictures.

FIRST!!!

Seriously LAME, thats worse then my old limon.

take a poop on the hood of that thing and youve completed the look.

Some would argue that leaving a brown present on the hood would improve the look...but that's neither here nor there...

While I can't imagine it performing better than it's coupe version, it doesn't look that bad...in fact, people might start to want these, and bada-bing, another way Ferrari can make money...overpriced, high-performance station wagons.

...if they start doing that, I so want royalties on the idea.

Fourth!

I seriously suggest punching the person responsible for this in the face. Or just roundhouse kick 'em.

Laughable and utterly without class.
You can dress a "grocery-gitter" up but it's still a "grocery-gitter".

I Ferrari hurting for money? because its the only thing i can think of that would make them puke this shit up

Wow..... Just... Wow.

And GW, I have to agree. The new facebook sucks more than the readers mom.

At first I did think that Ferrari did kind of compromise its values, then I realized the only values they have anymore is akin to making obscene amounts of money.

I'm going to see if I can find some Ferrari decals and put them on my car, and see if it makes it this cool. But, I guess it's true what they say, "You can put lipstick on a pig, and it's still Sarah Palin." Evidently that's how it's interpreted nowadays,I guess.

should have gold plated this bad boy like the porsche posted a month ago

I like the back of the car! it's really nice! but the front looks like an old F40 ferrari no curves just straight! hate the front like the back of the car

I understand there will be a yard tractor coming out in the next couple of weeks. It will be classic Ferrari Red with yellow badges. It will sport a 20hp engine and run on high test.

It will come with rotary blades, a wire brush and a snow plow attachment.

Do you think Ferrari or any single company or person in this world is going to deny a petition from the Sultan of Brunei?

"Do you think Ferrari or any single company or person in this world is going to deny a petition from the Sultan of Brunei?"

Uh, yeah.

"Uh, yeah."

Yeah of course, I forgot... noone but Miles


And by the way, that man owns about 6000 cars.

@12 would that be the 2008 Ferrari Yard Tractor or the 2009 model?

This reminds me of a time a few weeks back when I saw a beautiful shiny red Porsche in the parking lot of a bookstore......with a bike rack on it. I wasn't sure whether to laugh, cringe, or weep openly.

@ asdadas: I seriously doubt I am the only person unimpressed by any persons' wealth, excessive property or title. A "sultan" is a person just like any other person from royalty to the homeless bum living on the street; no better, no worse.

As ugly as the new facebook!

1998 issue of Motor Trend called, they want their report back.

For those of you who agree with geektard, enjoy your fwd toyotas, those of us who know cars will enjoy this for what it is.

@18 - Spoken like someone at the bottom. The upper class never talks like that.

What a total fake. That's a complete photoshop job, the shadows are all wrong. The car is a prop from Never Back Down.

wow...just...what a fuckin waste of an awesome car

plain wrong? how wrong? I think it's a perfect car for my mother and any mothers.

Nothing wrong with making fast trip to food/market stores. ;)

@23. NOT A FAKE. pininfarina designed. 20cm longer. 456 GT "Venice".

I believe that part of my soul has been ripped away from my body by looking at this car. I would have to say that, because of this fact, the car is evil and must be destroyed! I'll bring the torches- who's bringing the pitchforks? (Or explosives. Yes- pitchfork is code-name for explosive. Don't question the logic! Just destroy the evil!)

its what every gold-diggin milf needs

1. That old the 456 (which that car is based on) was produced from 92-03
2. Ferrari didn't really build it. It would technically fall under the realm of an aftermarket kind of thing as Pinninfarina was commissioned to build the bodies and modify the original Ferrari chassis. There's more than one and I believe the Sultan of Brunei etc. commissioned and owns all of them.
3. I'd still hit it.

aw no way man.. that thing is awesome!! .. its way cooler than the batmobile wagon they came out with a few years back..

If you want a roomier Ferrari, just get a Maserati. =]

Snarf, snarf.

That is all.

this kinda looks alfaromeoish from the side, erm i mean........

D@y4|\/|!!!! 7h3z $H337 b33 L00k1|\| 4LL @lf4-R0m301$H & $H337!!!111

cuz I really typez lyke that.........

I like it! I'll take two.

@donger
...you discust me

Thirty-sixth!!!

and I think it's pretty. Although, red would look better.

@35, What does "discust" mean?

@9, with all that college you liberals milk to keep from working you'd think there wouldn't be so many dipshit's among you.

Listen, they built one lousy car for a guy that likely paid them an assload of cash. I think we can get past it if we close our eyes and click our ruby slippers together.

Noooope definately not from never back down.... This is the new ride Vin Diesel drives in Fast 4 Furiousness. I hear its based in Mexico so I can only imagine how many beaners they are going to try to fit in that clown car. Can you say BLOCKBUSTER?! Viva Vin the Coyote

THAT CAR IS THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER SEEN

the sultan of brunei is real? i thought that was just a made up thing from Ant Farm

This particular wagon is hideously ugly. Wagons rule, though, and I think the author is being irresponsible in not making that clear.

@22, Well, you certainly have me figured out, don't ya?

FUGLY & LAME = FLUGLAMING

Oh, man...what is wrong with me?!
That's one of the coolest things I've seen. I want one.

I think it's awesome. Looks good too.

What's the technical difference between a 4-door hatchback and a station wagon? I love hatch backs... they look great and they're extremely practical.

this will enable you to pass through sobriety check points easier. when you have the kids in the car with you, you're less suspect. plus instead of addressing the officer directly, you can address him while turning your head to yell at the kids, so he doesn't smell the scotch and orange on your breath. they'll never suspect that you're gonna fly home, at 100+, on the bypass loop. yay for italian engineering, sort of.

@9 - You can give a monkey a keyboard, but all they do with it is throw shit.

I believe he has ordered a pick up truck too!

Are you kidding? This is genius.
Where in a sports car, you can't get laid in the backseat.
Where you're in a station wagon, you can't get girls.

This car fixes both problems.
Fast and Fuckable.

"Where in a sports car, you can't get laid in the backseat.
Where you're in a station wagon, you can't get girls."

So your logic is that this car WILL be able to do both? I'd argue the opposite, my friend. Yes, I would argue the opposite 'til the death. The death of an insignificant creature.

@50, Yes. My logic is it will do both.
Why would I take any advice from someone who's name implies I'm not going to get off anyway?

i bet the driver is a hot soccer mom. yeayuh

damn. thats old...
i remember seeing this 8 years (or more) ago. well at least i can show it again to my friends because i saw it in a magazine and never looked for it in the interwebs.

You geekologie commenters are the biggest f***ing haters in the world. If you think a custom built Ferrari is an extravagant waste of money then fine, I can't really argue with that. But this looks pretty well built and well executed to me.

F@@K y00 700 70|\/| Y0U 4R3 H@71N 700!

Why not?

As a first from Ferrari it's not such bad looking piece of work.
Maybe, J. Clarkson, of tv's 'TopGear' should share his review with us all.
What might he have to say on the matter?

- the driving/steering
- speed
- agility
- engine-sound

That's a show I would like to see.

Station wagons are awesome. A true supercar should be able to haul stuff.

@43 well put
This is almost as pathetic as the guy that died playing World Of Warcraft.
In my book Ferrari just fell 37 points making it tied for sixth place with the Toyota Supra lol. GJ

@12 Keep in mind that Ferruccio Lamborghini designed farm tractors originally... right up until his Ferrari 250 started to suck :) Are we coming full circle? LOL

this is sad

I like. It serves a purpose. I can hit 190mph with my dog in the back or with my bicycles in there. Very practical honestly.

Well I can't say as I like it.
But wow. Way to feel its your way or the highway.. to like.. all of you.

Can tell a group of people that will never own a Ferrari by reading comments like these.

I would say, a ferrari is already lacking so much class, how could making it actually useful give it less?

They are near undrivable, not trackable, uncomfortable and for the price, horribly made.

So yes he lacks class in that he based his car on a ferrari and it deserved better.

He has just lot of wives (and/or dogs) and wants to be nice to them.

Looks like something an over the hill ex supermodel would drive;)


Anybody remember the Ferrari 400i?

Maldives H.Hiba 9/10/2008

So if you stationwagon a Porche, how would it look? big boxy front end?

Stupid? Sick to your stomach? Thats just dumb. This is cool! Better to have this then a dumb Honda wagon!

Your dumb!
