Crossovers are the fastest-growing segment of the modern car industry, especially when it comes to premium cars.

Ferrari SUV is Under Consideration speculations

As we already mentioned, it is official that the Ferrari SUV is under consideration. However, we didn’t manage to find some more precise details about the potential new model. So, we must rely on rumors and our predictions. We believe that the new crossover will ride on the same platform as GTC4 Lusso, which is kind of an updated version of FF model that came in 2011. This isn’t the prettiest models from Ferrari for sure, but its platform is versatile and could easily fit a crossover.

In this case, the new SUV could feature the same 6.3-liter V12 engine, which is good for about 680 horsepower and 514 pound-feet of torque. This amount of power will provide amazing performances, such as 0-60 time in about 3.5-4 seconds etc. Besides this engine, the new SUV could also come with Turbo V8 unit, while some suggest even a hybrid powertrain.

The Ferrari SUV is under consideration and we expect that the company will solve its case in next 30 months. After that, engineers will start with the development that should last few years. The main task for the company is to create a model that will improve sales numbers but still keep the exclusivity. The company’s current numbers go around 8.000 units sold per year and this model should help to reach 10.000.

The new model will definitely have tough competition. There are several exclusive and exotic SUVs that will come in the near future. The production version of Lamborghini Urus will have its premiere in December. On the other side, Aston Martin DBX crossover will come somewhere in 2019.
