All this is a crappy lie made by someone who wants to get some money of the internet.......this is the mail the GTspirit owner got from the guys who made the rendering with the Ferrari SUV and they tryed to sell him some Murcielago LP 5000 renderings.....its all a hoax!

Bullshit if you ask me, no doubt ROXXITY Media just came up with this crap to generate some cash. Can't believe people actually bought it...

Here's an email I got from them the other day:

Dear colleague,

We are an independent press agency that supplies media around the globe with a wide variety of stories and photos.

Today we want to offer you a story on Conrad Gruber and his Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 S. The Austrian has specialized in converting classic Italian exotic cars such as the Countach to state-of-the art technology and stability level by modifying engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes (with ABS!), electrics and many more details. The result is a sportscar with classic spectacular design and modern, reliable technology.

Simultaneously he developed a 620 hp twin-turbo engine with modern, ECU-controlled injection and three-way catalysts for the white Countach that started life with a 375 hp 4.7 litre carburettor engine. In addition the two-seater car got a white special paint whose clear coat contains expensive Swarovski crystals, and modern, three-piece 18-inch wheels.

To give you an idea of what to expect we have attached a photo index with some sample images to this e-mail.

The story comes with a large selection of high resolution photos (including the manufacturer of this car) and an English or German text including technical specs.

Please make us a purchase offer when you are interested and let us know how you'd like to publish these photos (print, print + online, how many national editions, etc.).

Upon reaching a financial agreement we will immediately send you the DVD with the hi-res photos plus the story in English and German language.

You can best reach us by e-mail at [email protected] .

We will respond to your inquiries as quickly as possible!

Best regards,

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

ROXXITY MEDIA LTD.

And here's the email I got about the Ferrari SUV the 23rd of October:

Dear colleague,

We are an independent press agency that supplies media around the globe with a wide variety of stories and photos.

Our sources in Italy tell us that Ferrari is working on developing an SUV for model year 2010, project code: "Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada".

We are able to provide you with computer-generated images of this planned SUV from various angles. To give you an idea of what to expect we have attached some sample images to this e-mail. The actual photos will not carry the inserted copyright notice.

Please make us a purchase offer and let us know how you'd like to publish these photos (print, print + online, how many national editions, etc.).

Upon reaching a financial agreement we will immediately send you the hi-res photos plus a short accompanying text.

We will respond to your inquiries as quickly as possible!

Kind regards

And some more renders they tried to sell to me that are clearly based on the Porsche Cayenne and parts of a Ferrari 456 GT / 360 modena:

all cars are over 80 000 km, and some have almost 200 000
I never saw this reply - most of those cars are fakes and kits and replicas...

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.
More details: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/au...rrari_suv.html
Honestly, this is a better rendering than the previous one and it's not too bad. I still think though it's a ludicrous idea to have a Ferrari SUV!

funny thing is if you compare the rear wheels you will notice that the brake calipers are on the wrong way around in either of the 2 pictures

nice photochops though

The guy who photoshopped this could at least be a bit creative. Front and back straight from 599, side 612

No way it will exist ... Ferrari tries to lighten its cars and it's not at all in Ferrari's spirit.
That said, it wasn't Porsche's philosophy too ...
