The Ferrari Purosangue is the car the Italians refuse to call an SUV. But how much do the rims cost? More than Denmark's cheapest car.
If you can live with yellow license plates and therefore only two seats, a Dacia Sandero costs from 91,826 kroner in Denmark as a new one. But what if it has to be a little more expensive?
Let's just say Ferrari Purosangue-expensive for fun. Well, you can't even get the rims for that kind of money. At least not if you need them all at once.
Each rim costs up to 12,000 euros, or the equivalent of 89,000 kroner. The German magazine Auto Motor und Sport has found the price of the rims.
Add it all up and you have an invoice of 356,000 kroner. And you haven't paid for tires, sensors or titanium bolts. Granted, the latter is optional extra.
So it costs a bit to drive around with 725 horsepower from a 6.5-liter V12 engine without any kind of turbo or hybrid car.
And then there's the price of the car itself. Here in Denmark it makes absolutely no sense. Because if you want it with full tax, the price climbs to over 8.2 million kroner. Then there's a little less madness in leasing the glory. Even though it's also astronomically expensive.
On the other hand, as a Purosangue owner, you can be happy that the first seven years of service are included in the price. And even with that kind of service, Ferrari is still the car brand that makes the most money per car.
So who buys a Purosangue? Those who can afford it – of course. And apparently so many can that the people from Maranello have put limits on production. Yes, customers are literally lining up to buy.
The Purosangue assembly line is not allowed to use more than 30 percent of the factory's capacity per year. This also means that Ferrari, when the car arrived, said that the waiting list was two years long.
