The wheels are a crime. Hopefully they're just for crash testing :?

No way.

Looks awful, in those photos at least.

Doesn't need to look good. It'll have a waiting list from here to forever regardless.

Sacrilege. Get out.

Back-end looks OK, front looks like a dog's dinner although if you squint your eyes you can kind of see the link to things like the Roma.

I mean, I know the reason for making it is £££, but did they really need to as they're in a rude state of health. I guess "why not?"
Cheers,

Mike.

It’s horrible. Followed Porsche and Aston’s lead in deeming it essential to take design cues from their Supercars rather than create a fresh design for a completely different car.They will sell like hot cakes.

How many times does this have to be explained - it's never enough to make a lot of the money, you must make all of the money, style, class, taste and good engineering practises be damned.

I like the Aston and the Cayenne - this looks a mess though.

The Urus makes up about 50% of Lamborghini sales and I think that’s the ugliest of the lot.
You won’t see many Ferrari coupes in a few years!

Unfortunately the venn diagram of driving enthusiasts and those wealthy enough to afford supercars doesn’t show (I suspect) a massive overlap.

I know it used to annoy David Yu, but I maintain that more Ferraris (possibly Aston too?) are bought by wealthy punters because they can, as opposed to desiring them for their capabilities. I’m sure most of these customers own expensive timepieces with little or no interest in horology too etc etc etc.

So why wouldn’t Ferrari tap into the 4x4 market too? It needs to have the right badge and it helps enormously if it looks enough like a Ferrari - even a dogs dinner Ferrari.

I've read countless times that the Cayenne is the reason Porsche still exists. May as well get that cash cow in place before you need it.

That was probably, near enough literally, the design brief.

I'll go further, and venture that the lack of overlap and the appearance of the word "supercar" probably happened around the same time.

They are going after Landrover and thinking of calling it the F Allroad. You heard it here first. :)
