Sort of. Piero Ferrari (Enzo's son) founded a small engineering company, HPE (High Performance Engineering) which has ties to NASCAR. Ferrari only mingled in NASCAR, though. The idea behind it is to be like a hub of knowledge to exchange experience from F1 to NASCAR and vice versa. You talk down about NASCAR and I understand you don't like the sport, but Ferrari started some interesting engineering activities for a NASCAR team. Does that mean there will be a Cup car painted "Ferrari Red", running a modified 458 Italia V8? Not likely. But Ferrari is pretty impressed with NASCAR. Enzo himself hated American racing, but his son sees it differently.

There have been several Ferraris with more than two seats (2+2) since close to the beginning of the company which dates back to 1947.
612 Scaglietti
456 GT
Mondial -ETA: There's a convertible of the Mondial, too.
412
250 GTE
And there are more. There have also been 4 door Ferrari concepts, and several wagons, though none were official Ferrari production variants.

This is probably some trans student who put this on the net. It looks like he/she was trying to design a 4 door Ferrari. I can tell by the wheelbase and beltline. You're not going to find a production 4 door Ferrari. --at least not while Montezemolo is president of the company.

Nah, there's actually several and they look great, to me.
