The first-ever Ferrari SUV is hot property in Australia.

    At launch, the Prancing Horse stopped taking orders as wait times ballooned out beyond 18 months around the world, while dealers in Australia told CarExpert the wait on an “expression of interest” – which doesn’t guarantee a build slot – was two years.

    Ferrari Australasia president Jan Hendrik Voss told CarExpert “if people are interested in ordering a Purosangue, they should definitely approach their dealerships”.

    “We are always somewhat short on supply, and it’s also our mantra – one less car than the market demands – but never say never.

    “It’s a great car, and depending on how the production cycle unfolds there might be an opportunity along the line to become an owner.”

    As is true for “almost every Ferrari that you order right now”, wait times for buyers with a build slot sit at around 18 months.

    Ferrari confirmed at launch the Purosangue has capped production of around 3000 units per year, but the car isn’t limited to long-time Ferrari customers like some of its rarer models.

    Power in the first-ever Ferrari SUV comes from a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine making 533kW and 716Nm. Redline is 8250rpm, unheard of in a modern SUV.

    Pricing kicks off at $728,000 before on-road costs, although once customised it’s unlikely to leave any change from a cool $1 million.
