There have been worse efforts, albeit aftermarket
At least that looks as if it has enough transport space to have some practical value.
The one shown above, on the other hand, could qualify for a new vehicle class: SIV (Sports Inutility Vehicle)

Yes, it could be a rich man's hearse.

you must patent this new class.

“But we would like to find out what we can put the marque’s DNA into and still have it accepted as a Ferrari.” Are they crazy?!?
So basically, they're finding out what the maximum amount of dilution is that they can put into it, whilst getting away with it.
I say, simple solution: shoot them, so they understand that they're not getting away with it

Drastic solution...............................but effective.
It wouldn't fail to get the attention of MBA students when they came across it amongst their case studies.

Haha, the idea by itself is all good and fine, but the execution will be critical.
To think that BMW will put out very innovative "i" sports cruisers... they will probably make this Ferarri hatch look like an old dog and that would hurt the brand. I think it's a stupid idea... The FIAT group has plenty of options to present a luxory sports hatch...
indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)

The idea of a Ferrari hatch could be the explanation why I could find the original rear window of this car under the window in the camouflage of the rear on this car: http://www.autowereld.com/spyshots/detail.asp?artikel=10270&artikelen=Ferrari%20612%20Scaglietti
That could be because the camouflage rear window isn't really camouflage but the real window. And on this prototype it looks really hatch-like...

Rumoured specs :
6,3l V12
670HP
AWD
7-speed DCT
From F-chat :
I was presented the car this past week at the factory. Looks fantastic in the flesh. Size is same as 612. Interior roomy with excellent finishing and many new touches. Very comfortable in back as well. A true 2+2. And with the 4x4 and new transmission, this is one Ferrari I can't wait to take delivery of and drive day in and day out!

Too sad you can't really see the whole rear end of the car on this picture. Are there more shots?

OMG if Ferrari puts the same F458 front on this thing im going to puke... that is horrible and lazy and ugly.
The front bumper looks more California-like to me but I doubt that the car will be too similar to other existing Ferrari-models.
