by Currently, the upcoming Ferrari Purosangue crossover is being actively discussed. But it turns out that the first attempt to create an off-road Ferrari was made half a century ago. 
Meet Jerrari – a hybrid of Jeep and Ferrari. The SUV was commissioned in 1969 by a famous car collector, William Harrah. The American wanted a powerful all-wheel-drive model for everyday use and even approached Enzo Ferrari, but he refused to experiment.
So Harrah turned to tuners. They couldn’t think of anything better than to combine a Jeep Wagoneer and a Ferrari 365 GT 2+2. They took the entire front end and the 4.4-liter 320-horsepower V12 from the Italian sports car, as well as the gearbox, steering wheel, and some interior parts. The car looks like the grandfather of the Porsche Cayenne. 
In 1977, Harrah had a new Jerrari made.
This time, the car’s exterior almost didn’t differ from the Jeep Wagoneer – except for the elongated hood to fit the V12. The engine, by the way, was transferred from the first Jerrari. The dashboard was replaced inside, and a Ferrari steering wheel was installed. 
Now, the first Jerrari (now equipped with an engine from a Corvette) is in a private collection, and the second is in Harrah’s museum in Nevada.
