Lamborghini already made a hummer'esgue off roader in the late 80's, a v12

And they started out making tractors before cars so probably a natural return to their roots


Ferarri SUV sums up my feelings about Ferarri nicely........

The LM002, it was a piece of shite.



Ferrari shouldn't do this, it dilutes the brand.

they already have a reputation of fast exotic cars. why taint it so some rich bint and her kids can drive that around central london giving gordon brown another ridiculous excuse to increase fuel duty and congestion charge and whatever else he dreams up of next.

and I will happily eat my own fingers right down to the knuckles if that ever goes off road

just unnecessary!

That drawing and similar (its not a photo) has been doing the rounds for months.

Meant to be (and looks it) total BS.

Looks like Auto Express are happy to print it tho.

The original email went...

Dear colleague,

We are an independent press agency that supplies media around the globe with a wide variety of stories and photos.

Our sources in Italy tell us that Ferrari is working on developing an SUV for model year 2010, project code: "Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada".

We are able to provide you with computer-generated images of this planned SUV from various angles. To give you an idea of what to expect we have attached some sample images to this e-mail. The actual photos will not carry the inserted copyright notice.

Please make us a purchase offer and let us know how you'd like to publish these photos (print, print + online, how many national editions, etc.).

Upon reaching a financial agreement we will immediately send you the hi-res photos plus a short accompanying text.

You can best reach us by e-mail at syndication@roxxitymedia.com .

We will respond to your inquiries as quickly as possible!

Kind regards

ROXXITY MEDIA LTD.

Robert Stark

Syndication Manager





Then immediatly there was this comedy reply from someone abroad that summed it up...

Ma fatemi il piacere...

č un Tuareg con il logo della ferrari e un bůs (buco) fatto in fotoshop, brutta copia della maranello...

Bufala!!!!


Ie, photoshop wank
