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…

Please stop this suv trend! Make more 2 door coupè!
By 2025 we won’t be able to call it Cars and Coffee anymore. “Hey look, the new McLaren SUV”. “You think that’s cool, parked behind that stupid and pointless Porsche is a Bugatti SUV!”. This is really annoying and if THAT ever happens, like Marchionne, I’ll have to be shot.
I’m confused. Aren’t SUVs cars ?
Cars and Coffee will be come Soccer Mom/Dad and Diaper day.
We’ll just have to wait two weeks until a pair of Ferrari S.U.V shoes come out…
Lamborghini: STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
Lemme get them fresh pair of Fimbs my 🅱️😩👌👌💯💯
Suv’s are good, speccially this ones, because it lets you know that the person in it isn’t worth you’re friendship
No offence, but Italians should just stay away from SUVs and stick to sports cars. Levante and Urus are just terrible in terms of looks (but I guess rich custometrs don’t care about butt-ugly design as long as they have a badge that makes them feel better than some losers in Jeeps or Range Rovers)
