    May be that's because I never liked the Panamera and I see on the Taycan a kind of Panamera. What is it? A fast-back, a shooting brake, a station wagon, a cross-over ? I suspect is a mixing of all that and could be a PORSCHUV - Porsche Utility Vehicle.

    No I didn't and perhaps I'll change my opinion about the aesthetics once I see the Taycan on the flesh.

    Panamera needs to be ''sports turismo''.The sedan version isn't a looker to my eyes, either.

    Side by side the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo and an hypothetical Purosangue with lines that resemble the former. The unique reason the Purosangue of the picture is a Ferrari is because it has the cavalino shields. In order to be a success IMO the Purosangue has to have a design that can be seen as being innovative however, we will have to be capable of identifying straight away a Ferrari even without the emblems.

    The latest pictures of the Purosangue mule on the snow posted here last Wednesday were taken in Sweden.
    The publication Motor.es analyses the pictures and that's what they published:

    "The test units of the Italian brand have axles that are visibly and are wider than those of the Levante, but with a much lower ground clearance than this and also are mount on a set of larger wheels, around 20 inches, and with rubbers for asphalt, due to its low profile. This is not the configuration expected on a model that in theory should rival the Aston Martin DBX, Bentley Bentayga or Porsche Cayenne. By retaining this frame configuration, the Italian model will be closer to the crossover family cars than to the large SUVs sold by its competitors.

    With the first reports that advanced the development of this model also emerged some of the peculiar characteristics that could characterize the first 4-door Ferrari. Statements that described it as a kind of derivative of the current Gran Turismo of the brand but longer, with a 4-door body with simulated rear panels between the franchises of the different panels and a raised suspension. According to this information, the model was not going to be an SUV as such, which fits with some comments from those responsible for the brand, although that is precisely what we have seen in practically all the speculative renders that have been published so far. . However, we expected a taller model than the one suggested by these mules, something similar to the silhouette published by Ferrari in the schematics and drawings that accompanied its 2018-2022 strategic plan.

    Obviously, without seeing the final body of the model we have nothing to judge, but it is clear that these mules are lower than the vast majority of crossovers that we can currently find on the market. Perhaps the Italian company intends to surprise us with a very stylish but 4-door body with only slightly raised suspension, closer to that of a family sedan than that of a traditional SUV or off-road vehicle.

    At the moment we are in an intermediate stage of the testing phase of the model. The initial mules based on the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso have given way to this new generation of test units equipped with the body of the Maserati Levante, so there are still several months of development left before the firm Raises the veil of its first model of 4 doors. Whether it's an SUV or not."

    This will be a major disappointment if it's not a true SUV.....

    Oddly enough, I (respectfully) think the exact opposite, if it were a true SUV it wouldn’t be a Ferrari imho. I think a new form factor (similar to an Audi Allroad or Taycan Cross Turismo) that would be a four door stylish wagon that is slightly raised, would far better fit into Ferrari’s line up than an SUV.

    I suppose it’s all a matter of perspective and taste, we’ll see what Ferrari ends up doing.
