Do you want a low-cost Supercar? These cars from other brands have Ferrari engines

When we talk about supercarit is legitimate to imagine very expensive cars that are anything but simple to purchase for people who are part of the lower-middle class socially and economically speaking.

And in fact, most supercars they cost thousands and thousands of eurosif not millions. However, things are not always this way; there are many examples of cars that are more than affordable in this precise historical moment, aesthetically beautiful to look at and with performance that is more than above average.

The reason is related to the fact that all the cars that we will see in the next lines of this article are equipped with a Ferrari engine. But how do they cost so little, despite being characterized by a rampant horse engine? Let’s try to understand this too.

Low-cost supercars, bet on one of these: they are all more unique than rare occasions

Let’s start by saying that all these cars are equipped with a Ferrari engine, but they are not cars churned out in Maranello. Not to mention that in the vast majority of cases we refer to models and cars that have several years behind them. This is why they can be bought, if they are on the used market, at a more convenient price than other machines of this type on sale. The cars we refer to are the following:

• Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione;
• Maserati 4200 GT e GranSport;
• Maserati GranTurismo;
• Maserati Quattroporte;
• Maserati Ghibli V8, Levante V8 and Quattroporte V8;
• Lancia Thema 8.32;
• Fiat Dino;
• Lancia Stratos;
• Maserati MC12;

ALFA ROMEO 8C COMPETITION

A car characterized by the Ferrari 136 V8 engine. This alone is enough to make it an exceptional car. If we then add a clean and captivating design, typical of the supercars of the past, the four-wheeled jewel is defined.

MASERATI 4200 GT E GRANSPORT

Another Ferrari 136 V8 under the bonnet, this time for a double creation of rare aesthetic beauty, engine power and inimitable design, that of the Trident house. This project was supposed to be that of Maserati’s technical rebirthin 2025 it is a gem belonging to motoring of the past, and its charm is timeless.

MASERATI GRANTURISMO

An advanced, more powerful and better F136 engine for a car that is among the greatest representatives of Maserati’s past. In 2025 this car, designed more for everyday roads than for the track, can be purchased at almost normal prices, but in the past it has truly been the object of desire of many enthusiasts.

MASERATI QUATTROPORTE

The Ferrari V8 engine has always given character and personality to the cars on which it was fitted. It also applies to this Maserati, among the most charismatic sedans ever produced. Not only for the design that distinguishes it, but also for the sound that the legendary Ferrari engine was capable of producing.

MASERATI GHIBLI V8, LEVANTE V8 AND QUATTROPORTE V8

We are in 2010, when Maserati and Ferrari continue to work together with the aim of creating a hat-trick of cars still considered today among the most beautiful created in the past decade. And, once again, they are equipped with a V8 engine from the Maranello company.

LANCIA THEMA 8.32

A Ferrari V8 engine installed on a Lancia Themait seems crazy but it works and turns out to be truly a stroke of genius that is more unique than rare. Although there were some very necessary modifications to make to adapt this machine, in the end it became a great timeless classic.

FIAT DINO

This ‘utility’ car has very little. Starting from V6 engine from Formula 2. Coupé and spider versions of this car were created, each more attractive than the other. And then that name, in honor of Enzo Ferrari’s son who died dramatically, represents the prelude to the birth of the unforgettable Ferraris called Dino.

LANCIA STRATOS

A true legend of motoring, and especially of rallies. Equipped with a Dino Ferrari V6 engine, it was one of the most iconic cars in the history of rallies and Italian motoring in general, but also one of the most symbolic cars to have enjoyed the prancing horse’s engine (‘red’ excluded).

MASERATI MC12

Powered by a Ferrari V12 engine derived from the Ferrari Enzo, it has very little of Maserati, given that in short, it shares almost everything with a real Maranello car.
