Thoroughbred.

Yeah, I am Italian so I get the name, but I can see it sounding very weird for non-speakers.

From these ugly shots the car looks like bloated GTC. And mind, I like the GTC. I will reserve final judgment when official pictures will circulate.

[Agent57]

If I were Ferrari, I would 'leak' some official photos quick.

That photo is very unflattering.

The panel lines over the wheel don't line up

Interesting they too have gone for the clamshell by the looks of it

Is it the costs that have driven manufacturers like AM in this direction - ie one big piece is cheaper than bonnet, and wings?

I saw this yesterday on Facebook. I’ll say here what I said then. I’m not sure about it at all, but I reckon they will sell a cart load of them and the waiting list will be long. To my eyes it looks somewhat Roma esque at the rear and similar to a Porsche Taycan at the front.

Best Regards

Yes, they’ll sell loads. I think Ferrari have such a huge global database of wealthy clients that basically have ‘one of everthing,’ that they’ll quickly reach economical volumes.

Jesus, what is going on with car design over the last few years.

Looks like a dogs dinner

[TR-Spider]

I really like the looks when the blanket is covering the whole car...

[cayman-black]

Looks like a jacked-up Roma to me, awful.

Indeed, it seems impossible for anyone to design something elegant, everything is aggressive and generally ste looking.

Ferrari will shift loads of them though on the premise that buying will put ones name on a 'special' list.

It's an SUV so no real surprise it's not very elegant, no worse than the DBX

[Agent57]

It looks worse than the DBX to me.

Wonder what the used values will be for these sorts of cars down the line.

I don't think they will bottom out / increase after 10-15 years like most AMs and Ferraris.

They will just keep going down.......

Remember when the x5 was first launched, and made the range rover look like a telly tubby walking around on coil springs as far as handling?

Today an x5 4.4 with 112k miles from 2002 can be bought for circa £1700.00 from bca !

Exactly but in English it still sounds awful.

[Astontony]

I agree, not my cup of tea. The lines around the wing mirrors are weird. The clam shell area on the wheel arch looks so 1970.its hopefully nothing like the finished product.

[David W.]

Who’d have thought a few years ago that a Cayenne would end up looking better than the competition.

[nickv12]

Not an SUV person myself, but every other attempt by a posh brand has been wide of the mark, personally.

I know I'm biased, but the DBX is the only oversized car I like the look of. That Ferrari is definitely not changing my mind. Not completely ugly like the RR, Bentley, Porsche or Lambos, but still makes me want to examine it with a hammer

[pschlute]

I had my first trip in a DBX yesterday. My DB11 was in for service and the lovely people at HWM drove me to the station in one.

I have never been a fan of AM going down the SUV route but I have to say I liked it. Very smooth and quiet ride and the interior is lovely. If money was no object I would actually consider one.
