Ferrari 812 SF vs Lamborghini Urus

[Batman1212]

Hi all,

I know this is a bad comparison as these cars are very different! But I like both of these cars and can't decide.

I was wondering what would you recommend if you were to pick one.

Also - is anyone concerned that v12 are being phased out? Is there a risk any of these big engine cars will be banned altogether or that risk is many years out?

Really appreciate any advice, especially if you have driven or owned either one.

Thank you,
BM

Thanks! I've never seen a Purosangue in real life.. plus it will be a good 80-100k more in price compared to these.

The backseats of the Urus is obviously a big advantage for storage and/or traveling with friends - wonder if I'm missing anything else.

Thank you.

One is a real car and one is a horrendous carbuncle?
And thats from someone who regularly lambasts the 812 as a fat slacker of a car and owns a silly performance SUV that he never remotely explores the envelope of!

Thanks for this. Actually I wasn't into the Urus at all until I saw it from close up and got in and it seems to be quite nice. But ok +1 to 812. I wanted to find a car that is relatively sporty, looks good and generally nice to drive. I ended up between these two although there are others like the Roma and Aventador or the G wagon.

Thanks again.

A VW Touareg in a dress vs the ultimate V12 supercar? Really? (Ok, as 812 owner I might be biased).
But as a recent owner of a high performance SUV I can confirm they are hateful compromised things; but come on, comparing chalk and cheese here……..

Hi Gary,

Can you please help me - what should I expect to pay for insurance on a 812? say initially and maybe after 2-3 years? I've had quotes 10-12k+ , is this normal? Would you kindly share some guide on what you pay?

also do you recommend any broker?

thank you,
BT

Well that well and truly rules out the Urus then.
Still hard to understand how someones shopping list could come down to these two, but each to their own. Possibly the last ever Ferrari GT car with an NA V12 engine or a Tuareg wearing an ugly shouty dress

Lol it's what I found in the showroom and they both look good.

Just out of interest, do you know much about insurance? I've done some search for insurance on the 812 and they're crazy high. the only sensible one I got is from Admiral "LittleBox" that tracks all your movement - is this ok?

I really appreciate any input on this.
