The Ferrari SUV is one of the worst-kept secrets of the history, with the Prancing Horse set to deliver its high-rider by 2022. And with Maranello engineers have been spotted testing prototypes on multiple occasions, it's no wonder that the Internet is eager to discuss the topic. As such, we are constantly bombarded with renderings of the future Italian crossover.
And we've brought along a fresh pixel play of the sort for today, as you can notice in the Instagram post at the bottom of the page.
As we mentioned in the title, this render is a bit confusing and that's because it's obviously based on the Maserati Levante, while a few side and rear elements have been added.
Of course, this won't be the case with the actual car. In fact, Ferrari might not release an SUV in the traditional sense of the concept, as, for instance, it is the case with the Lamborghini Urus.
For instance, we could see the carmaker introducing a jacked-up sportscar. Allow us to elaborate.
We'll remind you that back in the late 2000s when Ferrari was preparing the introduction of the FF (here's a review of the brilliant family-friendly Fezza), one of the design proposals came from Giugiaro. And this was the kind that the made the Pininfarina-penned final design looked conventional. That's because the Giugiaro proposal was somewhere at the border between a crossover and a jacked-up shooting brake (you can check this out in the images above).
On the firepower front, we're expecting the Ferrari SUV to use a twin-turbo V6-based hybrid powertrain, which might also be used on other models.
Nevertheless, the SUV should also be animated by combustion-only engines and it will probably follow the example of the GTC4Lusso (FF replacement), which comes in twin-turbo V8 and naturally aspirated V12 forms.
