Ferrari SUV reportedly has codename F151, concept coming in 2010

Leave it up to the blokes at AutoExpress to bring details about the rumored, and oft denied, Cayenne competitor from Ferrari. The Brit pub supposedly has the inside scoop on what could be the biggest brand dilution in the history of automobiledom, and it currently goes by the codename F151.

The five-passenger 'ute was rendered by AE's in-house photochoppers, taking plenty of cues from the 612 Scaglietti, from which the Ferrari SUV might be based. Power is likely to be supplied by one of Maranello's V8s or V12s, but the real problem isn't motivation, it's how that grunt will find its way to the ground. The two options available include either modifying the Scag's platform with a high-tech traction control setup and beefing up the running gear to allow it to make the regular rare trips off road or to source an all-wheel-drive system from Mercedes to limit the cost to Ferrari.

Whether this is strictly misinformed prognostication or based in reality remains to be seen, but according to AutoExpress, the F151 will be revealed to the world in 2010, with sales beginning the following year. Prices should easily crest the £100,000 mark.

He won't make an SUV. "We have no credibility there, we are not Porsche," says Luca di Montezemolo.

I agree. It looks doubtful.

Looks good, I like it.

So Ferrari is another supercar maker that's going to follow Porsche.

Doubt they will build it but if Porsche had built an SUV that looks like this picture, I actually would LOVE IT! The Cayenne is fine, but so pedestrian looking. It is a Porsche it should LOOK like a Porsche, and it does not. Technically it is a GREAT SUV, but frankly it just does not get my heart racing. This Ferrari SUV is SA-WEET!
