Ferrari road tax in Malaysia refers to the annual fee imposed by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) based on engine capacity (cc) for ICE vehicles, with the new motor-power (kW) schedule applying to fully electric vehicles from 1 January 2026. For Ferrari's current lineup of V6 PHEV, V8 PHEV, and V12 NA powertrains, all road tax is calculated on ICE displacement under the cc schedule.

The Ferrari 296 GTB (2,992cc V6 PHEV) sits at RM 2,110/year, the new 12Cilindri (6,496cc V12, replaced the 812 Superfast in Nov 2024) at RM 17,862/year, and the Purosangue (6,496cc V12 SUV) at RM 7,724/year. The RM 10,138 gap between the 12Cilindri and the Purosangue on the same V12 is entirely driven by the saloon-vs-non-saloon classification: the Purosangue's SUV body uses the lower RM 1.60/cc progressive surcharge versus RM 4.50/cc for saloon coupes.

Ferrari Malaysia is operated by Ital Auto Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the official sole distributor since November 2023 (replacing the previous distributor Naza Italia, which lost the franchise on 8 April 2023). The showroom is located at G11-12, Four Seasons Place, 145 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, with the service centre in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. See the Ferrari Malaysia price list for OTR pricing on all current variants.

September 2025 JPJ enforcement: Transport Minister Anthony Loke disclosed that 675 Ferrari units in Malaysia had unrenewed road tax carrying combined arrears of RM 4.7 million. Combined with the Dec 2025 Ops Luxury operation that swept up multiple supercar brands, JPJ has intensified roadside enforcement on luxury vehicles. Under Section 90(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, driving without valid road tax voids insurance cover automatically and carries fines up to RM 300 plus immediate vehicle impoundment. For a RM 1.5-5M Ferrari, that's full personal liability for any collision damage.

How Much Does Ferrari Road Tax Cost for Different Models?

Annual road tax for the current Ferrari lineup at private Peninsular Malaysia rates:

Legacy F8 Tributo / Spider3.9L V8 (F154CB)3,902Saloon6,1892,024

The 12Cilindri (launched in Malaysia 28 November 2024 by Ital Auto, from RM 4.7 million Coupe / RM 5.1 million Spider) is the official successor to the 812 Superfast. Both share the 6,496cc F140HD V12 displacement, so road tax is identical at RM 17,862. The F80 hypercar shares the 296 GTB's 2,992cc V6 PHEV displacement and therefore the same RM 2,110 road tax bracket despite its hypercar pricing: a notable quirk of the cc-only formula.

Why does the Ferrari Purosangue pay RM 10,138 less than the 12Cilindri on the same engine?

The Purosangue (Ferrari's first 4-door, launched 2022) is classified as non-saloon (SUV) under JPJ rules. The non-saloon progressive surcharge above 3,000cc is RM 1.60/cc, against RM 4.50/cc for saloon coupes. Both the 12Cilindri and the Purosangue run the same 6,496cc V12, but the math diverges sharply:

This is the same bracket-spread mechanic that makes the Lamborghini Urus cheaper to tax than the Aventador despite costing 50% more new. The classification favours daily-drivable supercar SUVs over pure-sport coupes.

What Factors Influence Ferrari Road Tax Costs?

The primary factor affecting Ferrari road tax is engine capacity. Other considerations include whether the vehicle is privately or company-owned, as company-owned cars may have slightly different rates. Vehicle type (saloon vs. non-saloon) also plays a role, though most Ferraris are classified as non-saloon sports cars. For instance, the Ferrari Portofino, a convertible, follows the same tax structure as other high-performance Ferraris based on its 3.9L engine.

Where Can You Check Ferrari Road Tax Rates?

Road tax rates can be verified through JPJ's official portal, the MyJPJ app (2025+ replacement for mySIKAP), or third-party automotive platforms like WapCar and CarBase.my. These sites provide calculators where users input engine capacity and region to estimate costs. For new Ferrari purchases, Ital Auto Malaysia (the official distributor since November 2023, replacing Naza Italia) handles registration and road tax computation as part of the delivery process. Ital Auto also provides concierge renewal services from the Four Seasons Place showroom.

How Does Ferrari Insurance Cost Compare to Road Tax?

Ferrari insurance costs in Malaysia are significantly higher than road tax due to the vehicle’s high market value and performance nature. Annual insurance for a Ferrari 488 GTB can exceed RM 38,207, depending on coverage and no-claim discounts. Insurance renewal follows standard procedures but requires thorough documentation, including JPJ verification and inspection reports for used models. Comprehensive policies for models like the Ferrari F8 Tributo may include agreed-value coverage, which factors in depreciation.

Are There Regional Differences in Ferrari Road Tax?

Road tax rates differ slightly between Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi, Pangkor, Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan. For example, vehicles in Langkawi and Labuan enjoy tax exemptions under certain conditions, but Ferraris are typically excluded due to their luxury classification. The Ferrari 488 Pista’s road tax remains RM 6,189 in Peninsular Malaysia but may vary marginally in East Malaysia due to administrative adjustments.

What Are the Penalties for Late Ferrari Road Tax Renewal?

Under Section 90(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, driving without valid road tax is an offence with compound fines up to RM 300, plus immediate vehicle impoundment. The Sept 2025 Anthony Loke disclosure (675 unrenewed Ferraris with RM 4.7 million arrears) and the Dec 2025 Ops Luxury operation signal that JPJ is actively enforcing at roadblocks. The bigger risk is that insurance cover automatically voids during a road tax lapse: for a RM 1-5 million Ferrari, an at-fault collision becomes the owner's full personal liability for repairs and third-party claims, easily running into seven figures. Ferrari owners are advised to renew via MyJPJ, MyEG, or Ital Auto's concierge renewal service from Four Seasons Place to avoid disruptions.

How Do Ferrari Road Tax Costs Compare to Other Supercars?

Ferrari road tax is essentially identical to other supercar peers at matching displacement: JPJ taxes the engine, not the badge. The 6.5L V12 Ferrari 12Cilindri pays RM 17,862/year against the Lamborghini Aventador / Revuelto at RM 17,871/year (the RM 9 difference reflects a 2cc displacement variance). Cross-shopped peers:

ModelEngine (cc)Road Tax (Peninsular, RM/year)
Ferrari 12Cilindri (V12)6,49617,862
Lamborghini Aventador / Revuelto (V12)6,49817,871
Ferrari Purosangue (V12 SUV)6,4967,724
Lamborghini Huracán (V10)5,20412,048
Ferrari SF90 (V8 PHEV)3,9906,585
Porsche 911 GT3 (flat-6)3,9966,612
Ferrari 296 GTB (V6 PHEV)2,9922,110

The Purosangue is the outlier: its SUV classification turns a V12 supercar engine into a sub-RM 8k road tax bill, the same advantage the Lamborghini Urus enjoys against its V12 stablemates. For a true road-tax-vs-cost comparison across luxury brands, see the Malaysia road tax pillar.

Beyond road tax, Ferrari ownership involves financing, insurance, and depreciation considerations. Useful related pages:

Frequently asked questions

Why is Ferrari road tax so high in Malaysia?
Malaysia's road tax for private saloon cars uses a steep progressive scale above 3,000cc. The rate is RM 2,130 base + RM 4.50 per cc over 3,000. A 6,496cc 12Cilindri adds RM 15,732 in progressive charge alone, totalling RM 17,862/year. The 296 GTB stays under the 3,000cc threshold and pays only RM 2,110.
Is Ferrari road tax cheaper in Sabah and Sarawak?
Yes. East Malaysia base rates and progressive charges are significantly lower. The 12Cilindri costs about RM 5,743/year in Sabah/Sarawak versus RM 17,862 in Peninsular, a saving of roughly 68%. Smaller-engine Ferraris like the 296 GTB drop from RM 2,110 to about RM 1,260.
Why is the Ferrari Purosangue cheaper to tax than the 12Cilindri?
The Purosangue is classified as non-saloon (SUV), which uses a lower progressive surcharge of RM 1.60 per cc above 3,000cc compared to RM 4.50 for saloon coupes. With the same 6,496cc V12, the Purosangue pays RM 7,724/year in Peninsular versus RM 17,862 for the 12Cilindri.
Does the Ferrari 296 GTB or SF90 plug-in hybrid get a road tax discount?
No. Both PHEVs are taxed on full ICE displacement under JPJ rules. The 296 GTB pays RM 2,110/year on its 2,992cc V6, and the SF90 pays RM 6,585/year on its 3,990cc V8. Hybrid bonuses don't apply at these displacement tiers.
What if my Ferrari is registered under a company?
Company-registered private cars use a steeper schedule: RM 6,010 base + RM 13.50 per cc above 3,000cc for saloons. A 6,496cc 12Cilindri under company registration pays roughly RM 53,206/year, about 3× the individual rate of RM 17,862.
