Whisper the words SUV carefully around it – the boys and girls at Maranello insist it's anything but, despite our inclinations to call a spade when we see one. The Ferrari Purosangue is branded as the company's 'first-ever four-door, four-seater car', and it's now open to Malaysian customers who have upwards of RM 5 million; inclusive duties, taxes and minimal options.

“Have you had durian before?,” I asked my instructor Andrea Nori. “No..what is that? Is it like a papaya?” His assumption is just based on what he knows, but cutely wide off the mark – and despite my attempts at convincing him it "doesn’t really smell that strong" and "tastes sweet" – I’m sure man was definitely in for a surprise.

The SF90 Stradale shares its name with the SF90 Formula One car from 2019.

Ferrari F8 Spider At a private preview, Naza Italia unveiled the Ferrari F8 Spider in Malaysia, which is a South East Asia debut along with the introduction of the Ferrari 812 GTS. The open-top supercar from Maranello is the successor to the 488 Spider, with more power and less weight than before. Visually, it looks identical to the F8 Tributo apart from the obvious convertible roof. The retractable hard top (RHT) takes just 14 seconds to complete its task from either state, as long as the car i

Naza Italia, the official distributor of Ferrari vehicles in Malaysia have pulled off the wraps for their latest Ferrari 812 GTS at a closed-door private preview. Which could be one of Ferrari’s last naturally aspirated V12 supercar.
