    Thank you, and look at the size of the trunk ;)
    When my truck was in the shop my Lusso has pitched in and carried bags of fertiliser too.

    But you have a very good point, for me the key word in SUV is UTILITY.
    SPORT (practically)is an oxymoron.
    Utility has a beauty of its own.
    A UV has a place in my heart, an SUV not so much

    But each to their own.

    Ferrari SUV they would do great if they just do what Lambrghini , Bentley, Audi ,, and others have done and simply allow
    PORSCHE to build them on the Cayenne platform it is the best SUV platform going ... the Bentley gets partially assembled by the Porsche people then sent to England for final finishes...the others just get built on the same assembly line ...
    and they are all great vehicles ....imho
    although I know that is not likely

    The DNA used are the Pininfarina Sintesi as a base with the Battista model for the nose and Ferrari 296 headlights. It was commented that it looks like a Lamborghini and I see Lamborghini Huracan similarities in it now.

    I didn't know that. Isn't the Porsche SUV platform the VW platform with a different engine?

    So what you are saying is the Lamborghinis and Bentleys are just Porsches in costume. (And if I am right the Porsches are just VW's in costume.)

    What's the point? These vehicles have no soul. Just a costumed SUV that costs more than original platform it is based on.

    A few years ago, before the smartphone era, there was some fancy phone called Virtu (I think). It had a different look, and it came with concierge service for reservations etc. I think it cost around $1500 when top of the line flip phones were going for $300. Don't hold me to the numbers. My girlfriend at the time really wanted one. At the end of the day all they did was make phone calls.

    Now, I was flush at the time, and never held back with her, including buying her a brand new SL 600, which she still has today. But I could not bring myself to buy that phone. I told her let's buy a regular phone and tape $1,000 to it so everyone could see. Believe it or not, she agreed and realized how silly that phone was.

    They are all related companies ... so Yeah the Cayenne coupe and the Lambo are the same car.. built on the same line etc...but that's the way so many cars are.. In this case it just means they share the best SUV platform on the planet... in my opinion...( forget if VW or Porsche had the lead on the platform I think it was Porsche or joint )

    You can’t forget that VW also makes Audi and Bentley. The R8 is pretty much built on the huracan chassis so is the Q8 which somewhat resembles the urus. Those companies are all interlinked.

    Why Ferrari Needs To Make An SUV Now (And The Reason Enthusiasts Oppose It)
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    The Ferrari Purosangue looks poised to take on the high-performance Lamborghini Urus in the years to come.

    All top luxury and supercar brands are shifting focus from small high-performance cars to SUVs—apart from Ferrari. Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin, and Bentley are all currently producing SUVs. The high-performance SUV market is hot. Is Ferrari jumping on that train? Well, Mat Watson of Carwow uploaded a YouTube video of what they think the new Ferrari SUV could look like.

    “In this video, I’ll tell you why Ferrari has to start building an SUV now. And I will show you exclusive renderings of what this new car could look like,” Watson said.

    The world is shifting to green energy, and with it, the automotive industry. In the future, motor enthusiasts will have to give up their thunderous big engines for silent electric options. The change to green has slowly begun, and thankfully, Ferrari is prepared and is already developing amazing hybrid supercars like the SF90 Stradale looking more and more like a change Ferrari fans will have to accept.

    Ferrari Need An SUV To Compete In The Current Car Market
    Ferrari is famous for one thing: They build super-fast cars, and their success list is endless, from the Ferrari Enzo, LaFerrari, and the 812 Superfast among other iconic models.

    “Cars with naturally aspirated V12 engines will never pass strict emissions tests in the future. Now Ferrari knows this, which is why it’s put a load of effort and a load of cash into developing some new hybrid supercars, and there could be a new hybrid SUV on the horizon too,” Watson said.

    Lamborghini just like Ferrari made its name out of building bonkers mid-engine monsters. Currently, its most popular car is the Lamborghini Urus SUV. In 2020, Lamborghini sold more than 7,000 units, over 4,000 of which were Lamborghini Urus models.

    “Ferrari doesn’t really have a choice. If it wants to compete with these brands, then it has to make an SUV of some kind. But what would a Ferrari SUV look like?” Watson said.

    According to Carwow, Ferrari is already testing a prototype. And even though the prototype SUV doesn’t have any Ferrari parts yet, when done, it will carry the tag name Ferrari Purosangue.

    “It could take inspiration from the latest Ferrari Roma, or the all-new 296 GTB. So, I reckon it’ll look simpler and less angular than a Lamborghini Urus. But it will still be even more imposing than most modern Ferraris,” Watson revealed.


    Ferrari Has Four Engine Options For New SUV Variant
    So, what kind of engine would the Ferrari SUV have to compete in the market? Carwow speculates the automaker could go with four options. The first option would use the 6.5-liter V12 engine from an 812 Superfast to make 800 hp. What’s best, Ferrari already has a four-wheel-drive system to go with this option.

    Ferrari could also use the 3.9-liter twin-turbo engine from the Roma making 620 hp. They could also fit it with a hybrid system and electric motors from the new 296 GTB. But there’s a problem using the engines from the Roma or the GTB is they are rear-wheel drive, and will need a new four-wheel-drive system re-design.

    Lastly, Carwow, thinks Ferrari could get some parts from the SF90 that comes with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, and three electric motors, all making 1,000 hp.

    These exclusive renders of the Ferrari Purosangue give you a look at how the production car may turn out.

    Upfront, you’ll spot thin headlights with daytime running lights cutting through in a similar fashion to those on the Ferrari Roma, and flanking a trapezoidal grille.
    Dramatic curves are set into the bonnet, with the roofline of the Purosangue taking on a sleek approach rather than falling into a boxy rear end.

    The rear of the car gets a large black panel with the prancing horse logo taking centre stage, and thin LED rear lights similar to the Ferrari 296 GTB.



    Ferrari Purosangue Interrior
    In the front, you can expect the Purosangue to be crammed with leather, brushed metal and carbon-fibre trims, as well as a new version of Ferrari’s infotainment system.

    The new Ferrari Purosangue is expected to be the first modern Ferrari to come with five seats, although it’s likely you’ll be able to get a set of two individual rear seats if you’d prefer – like those on the GTC4 Lusso.

    Ferrari Purosangue SUV price and release date

    Ferrari’s first SUV isn’t expected to make its public debut until 2022. It’s possible that it could go on sale later that year, although (as with most Ferraris) you can bet that plenty of wealthy petrolheads have already posted blank cheques to the Ferrari factory to make sure their names are first on the list for this new SUV.

    If you’d rather wait for this new car to appear in showrooms, get ready to hand over at least £200,000 to park one on your driveway.





    So what do you think about the new Ferrari? Are you a fan of it?

    I understand the reasons behind needing an "SUV" in this market, but Jesus Christ was a hideous shape.

    If you slapped a Hyundai badge on it, no one would know the difference.

    Purosangue: Ferrari’s first “truck” appeared outside the Maranello factory

    Ferrari advances steadily in the development of the Purosangue, the first SUV in its long history. Proof of this are the photos that have just been leaked in Europe, which show the “truck” rolling outside the Maranello plant, where it will be manufactured for the whole world.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login
    As is often the case, the tests in real traffic were done with the body completely camouflaged. However, it is seen that the Ferrari Purosangue It will have a quadruple exhaust outlet, a rear wing, rear lights connected to the trunk lid, well-sharpened headlights and a higher body height compared to the rest of the cars that are already known from the Italian manufacturer.

    When does the Ferrari Purosangue arrive?
    Ferrari intends to present this model in 2022. Undoubtedly, it will mark a before and after in its history, and will attract new lovers and detractors, just as it happened with Lamborghini when it launched the Urus, the SUV that later became an impressive success.

    The Purosangue was something like an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), although the former CEO of the Italian firm, Louis Carey Camilleri, stated long ago that does not want to “hear that word in the same sentence as Ferrari”. By “that word”, in case it is not understood, he refers to SUV.

    Ferrari anticipated that will have a hybrid engine. There will be an internal combustion engine on the front axle and an electric one on the rear.

    It will have four-wheel drive, new suspension, dual-clutch automatic transmission and interior space for four people. In addition, the Prancing Horse boasts that it will come with a low center of gravity and aerodynamics worked to reach high speeds.

    For Ferrari, entry into the new segment will translate into higher profits. From the Purosangue nagives less than 10,000 units per year. Michael Leiters, Ferrari technical director, told the media Coach that the product will mark a before and after: “It is a different concept from the existing SUV”. It will hit the streets in 2022.

    The rivals of this model will be Aston Martin DBX, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini urus, Maserati Levante, Porsche cayenne and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine that all these luxury automakers would be interested in the SUV segment; that is to say, the one of the “vans”.

    The motorization is not confirmed, but it is estimated that the chosen one could be the hybrid V6 that Ferrari is testing.

    A Ferrari suv will be highly successful and will also increase the sales of the rest of the Ferrari line. It will also forever change the mark to something else and the Ferrari we know will no longer exist, that being a sports car company. It will be just like Porche

    I argue that happened already when Fiat bought them. Next-generation hypercars cars are starting at 2,000 hp. To develop those cars and stay competitive, you need money for R&D and exploring electrification.

    I mean, I guess Ferrari can choose to have future models being far slower than their competitors. I think this is a losing strategy.
    If Ferrari has the performance and quality like Porsche, without sacrificing production numbers - I say that's a good thing.

    Enzo's guiding philosophy is to "WIN" in the NYSE: RACE

    Last I checked that meant being the fastest car on the track. In the 21st century that means money and electrification (see F1.)

    I am disappointed to see the mule so low. I was hoping they would make it a standard height SUV (whatever that means) similar to a urus etc...

    Otherwise this thing is a Panamera on it's tippy toes.

    I do have faith that whatever they build will be excellent. They know they can't screw this up.
