An American automotive outfit specializing in luxury off-road cars has made a very luxury off-road car in America. Meet ‘Elevato,’ GlasWerks DMV’s offering for the 2025 SEMA show. As you can see, it’s a lifted, off-road-ready Ferrari GTC4 Lusso.
A lifted, off-road-ready V12 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. GlasWerks DMV’s special ops division has picked the 6.3-liter version of Ferrari’s lovely four-seater rather than the V8, and has somehow managed to tickle it up to 740hp, up from the 672hp Maranello gave it.
Those 740 Italian horses now power a car that offers eight inches of wheel travel and nine inches of ground clearance, through a program of modification that begins with disassembling each GTC4Lusso—mamma mia!—before re-engineering/replacing more than 30% of its parts.

Parts like the suspension, which has been thoroughly redesigned for its off-road duties. You'll find billet aluminum upper and lower control arms, stronger axles and CV joints, and upgraded sway-bar end-links and tie-rods. Underneath the thing, you’ll also find replaceable body cladding and some mudflaps. Because There Will Be Mud.
Customers can, of course, spec their desired spring rates and setups, along with roof-rack systems, billet-machined switchgear, all of the lights, Inconel exhaust systems, custom headlights, and rock guards. And speaking of rocks, each Elevato gets paint protection film to safeguard it from the elements being mercilessly thrown in its direction. GlasWerks DMV wants you to actually drive this thing.
Not least because it’s got serious skin in the off-road game. Its engineering boss previously worked with Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Latin America team, and did time with GT3 outfits too. It’s got experience running in the gruelling 24 Hours of Appalachia—a 650-800km off-road rally that runs for… well, you get it.
“We’ve spent time in the off-road luxury market and want to offer something different,” said GlasWerks DMV co-founder Joshua Sroka. “Developing the first few Elevatos side-by-side has allowed us to build one car that’s more comfortable and capable on worn out paved roads or gravel, while the other sees more off-road and trail use.”
The price for a lifted, off-road-ready V12 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso? Each Elevato build starts from $175,000...plus the cost of a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso.
