Ferrari's 'World's Fastest' SUV Will Be Here In 2019

There’s no escaping it now, a Ferrari SUV is definitely on the cards. Following up a declaration that Maranello is “dead serious” about producing a jacked-up, “utilitarian” vehicle, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne has once again talked about the firm’s plans in that area.

It turns out the vehicle will be here a little sooner than thought, with Ferrari hoping to debut the car late 2019 or early 2020. “I’ve seen the car when I was in Europe eight days ago. So we are working on the vehicle but it’s not finished,” he told Auto Express at the Detroit Auto Show.

Unsurprisingly, it will be fast. “So far the fastest SUV belongs to Alfa and I don’t think Ferrari fears Alfa…It will do its best to build the fastest SUV,” he said. He’s referring to the Stelvio Quadrifoglio’s Nurburgring lap record there, but we doubt Ferrari will be satisfied by using only the measure of the Nordschleife to dub its crossover as the fastest - surpassing the performance of the 641bhp Lamborghini Urus is almost certainly a consideration.

Engine-wise, the turbocharged V8 from the California T and GTC4Lusso T seems a likely candidate, but the idea of a Ferrari crossover would be much easier to accept if a V12 was involved. Go on Ferrari, you know you want to…

February 2016, Marchionne said “You’d have to shoot me first” regarding a Ferrari SUV.

Now he’s saying he’s dead serious about a Ferrari SUV. In that case, why hasn’t he been shot yet? 🤔

Unless he has been shot, that’s why he’s dead serious?

That’s right, it’s likely to be a Fkin Ugly Vehicle!

S also stands for Super, not only Sports.
SUV - SUPER utility vehicle.
Old SUV - SPORT utility vehicle.

It’ll be funny to see Koenigsegg claim that title at the same time as petrolheads we don’t want that to happen

To be honest, I would’ve thought the Alfa Stelvio QV would be a spiritual SUV Fezza. So will this new one compete against the Urus??

It was just a matter of time. If they want to continue making big engine V12 supercars, they have to have some vehilcle in the portifolio that drags the emissions down.
