Sep 17 2008Just Plain Wrong: A Ferrari Station Wagon

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.
3. guate6 - September 17, 2008 6:04 PM
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!
5. Uhhh - September 17, 2008 6:21 PM
I seriously suggest punching the person responsible for this in the face. Or just roundhouse kick 'em.
6. Miles - September 17, 2008 6:24 PM
Laughable and utterly without class.
You can dress a "grocery-gitter" up but it's still a "grocery-gitter".
7. pierre - September 17, 2008 6:28 PM
I Ferrari hurting for money? because its the only thing i can think of that would make them puke this shit up
8. Jordan - September 17, 2008 6:36 PM
Wow..... Just... Wow.
And GW, I have to agree. The new facebook sucks more than the readers mom.
9. chaosthirteen - September 17, 2008 6:38 PM
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
11. jerre - September 17, 2008 6:44 PM
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
12. enzo - September 17, 2008 6:49 PM
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.
13. asdadas - September 17, 2008 6:58 PM
Do you think Ferrari or any single company or person in this world is going to deny a petition from the Sultan of Brunei?
14. Miles - September 17, 2008 7:04 PM
"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.
15. asdadas - September 17, 2008 7:11 PM
"Uh, yeah."
Yeah of course, I forgot... noone but Miles
And by the way, that man owns about 6000 cars.
16. SlowMonkey - September 17, 2008 7:13 PM
@12 would that be the 2008 Ferrari Yard Tractor or the 2009 model?
17. Amy - September 17, 2008 7:16 PM
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.
18. Miles - September 17, 2008 7:18 PM
@ 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.
19. Altaire - September 17, 2008 7:36 PM

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.
22. Kilometers - September 17, 2008 8:26 PM
@18 - Spoken like someone at the bottom. The upper class never talks like that.
23. Daisy - September 17, 2008 8:28 PM
What a total fake. That's a complete photoshop job, the shadows are all wrong. The car is a prop from Never Back Down.
24. Jayfournines - September 17, 2008 10:02 PM
wow...just...what a f***in waste of an awesome car
25. Nacon - September 17, 2008 10:04 PM
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. ;)
26. pinoygeek - September 17, 2008 10:18 PM
@23. NOT A FAKE. pininfarina designed. 20cm longer. 456 GT "Venice".

27. Clark - September 18, 2008 12:00 AM
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!)
28. theotheraaron - September 18, 2008 12:01 AM
its what every gold-diggin milf needs
29. cavallino - September 18, 2008 12:09 AM
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.
30. Matty - September 18, 2008 1:35 AM
aw no way man.. that thing is awesome!! .. its way cooler than the batmobile wagon they came out with a few years back..
31. J - September 18, 2008 2:30 AM
If you want a roomier Ferrari, just get a Maserati. =]
32. SmokingGirl - September 18, 2008 8:12 AM
Snarf, snarf.
That is all.

Thirty-sixth!!!
and I think it's pretty. Although, red would look better.
37. Momboelitist - September 18, 2008 10:23 AM
@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.
38. Jo Mama - September 18, 2008 10:41 AM
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
39. Mike Jewell - September 18, 2008 12:02 PM
THAT CAR IS THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER SEEN
40. joss - September 18, 2008 12:26 PM
the sultan of brunei is real? i thought that was just a made up thing from Ant Farm
41. Aaron Peterson - September 18, 2008 1:02 PM
This particular wagon is hideously ugly. Wagons rule, though, and I think the author is being irresponsible in not making that clear.
42. Miles - September 18, 2008 1:07 PM
@22, Well, you certainly have me figured out, don't ya?

That's one of the coolest things I've seen. I want one.
45. butterbee - September 18, 2008 2:21 PM
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.
46. poop - September 18, 2008 3:21 PM
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.
47. Thumperchica - September 18, 2008 3:37 PM
@9 - You can give a monkey a keyboard, but all they do with it is throw shit.
48. TONY - September 18, 2008 4:01 PM
I believe he has ordered a pick up truck too!
49. Gingersnapz - September 18, 2008 5:07 PM
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 F***able.
50. suzy blue balls - September 18, 2008 8:03 PM
"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.
51. Gingersnapz - September 19, 2008 12:01 PM
@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?
52. Nina - September 19, 2008 9:12 PM
i bet the driver is a hot soccer mom. yeayuh
53. Edgar AKA the-iguana - September 19, 2008 10:09 PM
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.
54. tom - September 21, 2008 10:33 AM
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.

56. Henrik Wille - September 26, 2008 3:41 PM
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.
57. fixitfixitstop - September 26, 2008 4:45 PM
Station wagons are awesome. A true supercar should be able to haul stuff.
58. Holy crap. - September 29, 2008 1:38 PM
@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
59. Eschatus - October 2, 2008 6:29 PM
@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
60. AnTmAn - October 3, 2008 11:32 AM
this is sad
61. Jake - October 3, 2008 11:22 PM
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.
62. jill - October 5, 2008 10:22 PM
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.
63. Joer - October 5, 2008 10:24 PM
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.
64. anarch - October 7, 2008 1:51 AM

Stupid? Sick to your stomach? Thats just dumb. This is cool! Better to have this then a dumb Honda wagon!
Your dumb!
69. Jon - November 25, 2008 7:54 PM
I'm here to respectfully disagree, I am of the opinion it looks pretty decent actually.
70. kay - January 23, 2009 10:36 AM
um...ew...that just made me wanna throw up...a fast car should never be made slower/uglier!
71. Zhenj - January 24, 2009 12:45 AM
I think its not that bad.. Cmon Audi made a performance station wagon! Yes its not that pretty, but the guy wants a station wagon, one with class.. I think its a great Idea, i agree with comment #3
72. omega57 - July 26, 2009 3:05 PM
#2 and 3 this would look alot bettr if someone just took a huge crap on the hood of it and put a ferrari sticker in the piece of crap.
