    Some elements might be close but overall not what I think it’ll look like.

    This rendering does imply suicide rear doors which I also think is possible based on the camo cut out for the rear doors as well as the form of the rear edge of the front door.

    The car is these latest pictures—with the square back camo—seems to be less awkward looking and sitting better on its wheels. I wonder if the wheel or tire sizes have been revised (upsized)?

    Love the roma-style front end, just hope it will make its way into reality ... Thanks a lot ;)

    This is as close as I've seen to what I want. Lose the rear door handles, and it'll be as clean as my SuperCab Raptor. :D

    Agree and was going to say the same. It’s starting to feel more like a 4 door FF/gtc and less like and suv/crossover from a stance perspective. I would buy a 4 door Ferrari gt any day but suv probably not.

    Agreed. But as is often the case, adding Novitec springs and lowering it will make the car look proper and fantastic.

    The Ferrari Purosangue will have to be something like that. The car in your sketch has the Ferrari DNA, is innovative and bears no resemblance to any existing SUV or Crossover. However, the only thing that compares it to a Panamera are the four doors.
    Thank you very much INGEGNERE. :)

    Thanks guys. I did that very quickly and tried to capture as much of the details noticeable from the prototypes but after a couple of sketches realized it actually looked pretty cool and I realized it might be what Ferrari will try to do with this car: basically, a sporty-looking car, slightly raised but disguised as a 2-door GT.

    To get that 2-door look, I think they’ll go with no visible B-pillar and a shorter rear door with maybe no door handles for the rear door. Also, judging by the shape of the split-line between front and rear door, the rear door does not seem to be forward-hinged, so probably suicide doors as suggested already. Or maybe, gull-wing like Tesla?

    Hence the reason they refer to it as an “FUV.”

    Definitely suicide doors if you look at the way the camouflage is zipped.

    Suicide doors are terrible for usability. I'll take regular doors any day.

    I have suicide doors in the i3, they’re a PITA because I have to open the front door to open the rear door, if someone parks too close to me it’s a shuffling game to get my kid out of the back.

    Luca de Montezemolo promised that no SUV or four-door vehicle would ever wear the Ferrari badge. Looking at the sketch produced by Ingegnere now I really believe that Montezemolo's first promise will be integrally fulfilled because the Purosangue will not be an SUV. As for the four doors, something that has apparently only been tried so far in the Ferrari Pinin concept, it seems clear that Montezemolo's promise cannot be fully fulfilled. However, as Ingegnere's sketch exemplifies and he has explained technically, the idea is that the Purosangue looks like it only has two doors even though it has four.
    When Ferrari announced that it would produce a FUV many imagined that this could be an evolution of the Lusso but with four doors and some renders that appeared showed a Panamera type concept which is the last thing I would like to see applied to a Ferrari. However, since the Purosangue is not an SUV, I think it will have at least the off-road capabilities of this Panamera in the video, which will satisfy the overwhelming majority of customers.

    I wonder it's possible to have independent suicide doors like in Rolls Rice where you don't need open first front door but without b pillar

    Thanks for the sketch, looks super exciting to me for a SUV! I would say suicide doors and not gullwing given the production headaches gullwing doors caused Tesla and Ferrari rarely produces hard to manufacture parts.

    I think they are crazy if they don't make it a full on SUV, the point of this vehicle is to sell lots and please shareholders. I don't think it'll sell in the numbers it could have if it's a bit inbetween the two

    They don't want to sell high numbers, they want to sell the car at the highest possible price, super exclusive and rare. Something completely different.

    I bet my 488 could drive around that “off road track” just about as well as that Panamera. :)
