Speculation: Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada SUV
600 hp SUV
Cayenne Turbo killer
Lamborghini already had an SUV for sale more than 25 years ago and today Porsche's Cayenne is a global success. Ferrari hesitated for a long time but has now decided to develop the world's fastest SUV, or so says our Italian contact with insider info. Our DTP expert than set to work with this information and produced the following renderings. The project has been coded the "Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada" and its supposed world debut target date is the Geneva Auto Show 2010.
While the five-door will feature four-wheel drive its off-road capabilities are not among the top priorities of the Ferrari development team. Two-thirds of the engine's power is rumored to be transferred to the wide 22-inch high-performance street tires in the rear.
The engine is familiar and hails from the Ferrari F599 Fiorano, albeit in slightly modified form. Its maximum power output of more than 600 hp and 600 Nm of torque will be a challenge for the size 315 tires front and back.
Despite an empty weight of around 2.2 tons the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is supposed to take less than five seconds, thanks to Formula 1-type shift paddles on the steering wheel. Targeted top speed is 300 km/h.
With a top speed such as this the Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada would easily eclipse the performance of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, just as easily as it would eclipse its price at projected 250,000 Euros plus.

Why wouldn't Ferrari want to get into the SUV market, it would be a totally new direction for them but they can still maintain there brand image with a super powerful mean ass mother f**cker.

No, no, no! It doesn't even look like Ferrari, nor could any SUV. Nor could it go like one.
God no!

What Ferrari should do before getting into SUV league is to develop a straight contender to Porsche Panamera, the ultimate 4-door saloon with elegance. Why must Ferrari create image of struggling with mud and snow and command position?? History suggests as Lamborghini Cheetah was not a good success.

it would be a flop if they made it. Cayenne is ofcourse a worldwide success. Porsche profits continue to grow exponentially.

It's bad taste on wheels. And next what do we have ? A Mini full size SUV? A sleek Hummer sports coupe? A quad turbo V8 Toyota Prius?! Come on!

They want to beat Porsche Cayenne with that rear ?? I don't think so.

I agree, the elegant 4 door saloon should be the first step, it could compete with a Panamera. Rebadged Quattroporte would me much more sensible than SUV, I think.

this is the stupidest idea i've ever heard, not to mention the thing is rediculously ugly looking, i don't care if it has more power than a veyron, ferrari should NEVER enter into the SUV market, neither should Lamborghini(again)
i'm baffled at the idea of this, and that someone out there thinks this thing looks good, it looks like a crappy design from a grand theft auto game.

Agreed Toyota Supra Lights, Audi fog lights, grill from other Ferrari, and the rear...I just don't want to say..Ferrari's SUV will be well designed however this is a disgrace that WCF would even put these pictures up

According to Luca Di Montezeolo, Ferrari and Maserati Chairman, was supposed to plan the Maserati SUV as the rival for Porsche Cayenne, since 2003. The Maserati Kubang SUV prototype was launched in 2003, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and his ItalDesign team. But he killed of that idea recently this year. Its time for him to swich from Maserati to Ferrari. Because Ferrari wanted to go for all-wheel drive.

Rendering or not....It's bullshit!Why don't they join the market for four door GT cars(sports saloons) like the concept Aston Martin Rapide,BMW CS concept and the Porsche Panamera conept?I'm sure they could fare a lot better there.Really, this is a bad joke!
