Will Ferrari ever make a 4-door saloon?

I think it would be quite nice to see a Ferrari attempt at a 4-door saloon. I think it would far outshine the Quattroporte. Has Ferrari ever publicly discussed this possibility?
 
Porsche has the Panamerica,
Aston has the Rapide.
I think it could be on the cards, even if its a rebadged Quattroporte.
 
The Panamera... very nice looking car

You see.. that is just BRILLIANT.. basically like a 911 with 4 doors.

I think 4 door saloons are the best looking cars, no doubt. And not only that but they are far more practical than a 2 door coupe where your guests have to crawl into the backseat with little legroom.

They did. Ferrari built a couple of 456 GT Sedans for the Sultan of Brunei. I think Ferrari also made a couple wagon variants of the 456 for the Sultan as well. Since they were never put into series production, I guess they don't count.

Pininfarina made that 456 sedan for the Sultan of Brunei I think. If it was essentially a 4-door 612 Scaglietti, I think it could be decent looking.
 
lol at last two posts ^^^

what strange information to be so abundent it would be posted at the same time :)
 
Ferrari have stated on a number of occasions that they will NOT make a four door sedan for the public, or SUV for that matter. They didn't want to dilute what Ferrari stood for. They reasoned that was what Maserati was for.
 
Ok yes a Ferrari SUV would ruin the Ferrari image, but a 4 door saloon, they could make something MAGNIFICENT, better than a Rolls even.
 
One can only hope Ferrari won't make a four-door - they don't need to financially, so why dilute the brand unnecessarily.
 
Yeah, but...isn't Maserati more seperated from Ferrari in the last year?
 
Clarkson said the Quattroporte has a problem with the gearbox. I'd like to see the next Quattroporte be virtually flawless, with a slightly better design, maybe more legroom in the back, like the rolls.

Hell instead maybe Rolls should make a sporty 4-door Ferrari-like car.
 
Well, they have replaced the gearbox with a normal automatic, if i remember correctly.

Ditto, I wouldn't be the same seeing a Ferrari 4 door in the IKEA parking lot. It would just ruin the company's image , Porsche might just get away with the Panamera but I doubt Ferrari would, there are enough cocks driving them anyways judging by the amount of crashed Enzo's we see.
 
Guys, what is the big seller these days? Mid-Size SUVs with spare tires on the back, with chrome wheels and efficiant diesel engines.

That's what they'll build.

*hides*
 
Either that or the Ferrari Prius.
