Ferrari FF, More Muscular VX???

[blacksambo]

Granted it can't climb rocks (no ground clearence), but everything else you need to win Paris-Dakar is in place. And that' s what Isuzu wanted way back when????

Yup...I agree.

I want some of what you are smoking, sambo. As an opine, you are waaaaay off the mark and reaching for a similarity that does not exist in the slightest. This is not an all-terrain vehicle just because it can drift on snowy/icy roads. This car, to me, is basically a California hatchback with AWD. They should have called it the Colorado... oh wait, taken. OOH! How bout the Ferrari Fargo!

I do like the looks of it tho and it would no doubt be fun to drive!

And it makes the Porche Panamera look even uglier..
...as if that was possible!

Now if ya wanna buy one, lift it....and do the Paris Dakar...
...I'll watch!

I don't think I will have to. I think Ferrari Factory is headed straight to Dakar.

I think there's a big difference between chasing the same goal and copy-catting someone else's design. I agree that Ferrari and Isuzu had many of the same capability goals in mind when they sat down in their respective design rooms and that some of the design solutions they developed are alike, but that's really where the similarities end. The FF represents a car manufacturer's solution to the problem, whereas the VX represents a truck and SUV manufacturer's solution to the same problem.

Correlation does not imply causation - just because the FF and VX designs contain similar technologies does not mean that one is a copy, imitation, or mimic of the other.

Correction. At the time the VX was on the drawing boards, Isuzu was a major "car" manufacturer. In fact, the Isuzu Belgian office was soley focused on "car design work. Also, Simon Cox the VX's lead designer had just come from Lotus "cars". If Mack Truck had designed the VX I'd agree with you, but the VX was designed as a car first and later dropped on a two door Trooper frame. Notice the VX prototype had wheels pushed to the corners just cars today like the Ford Edge, and now the Ferrari FF. This may be hard to swallow but the VX is more car than truck and that's why it was called a Vehi....Cross, or cross between a car and a SUV.

It's the first all-terrain two door Ferrari for starters and it's rear wheel drive , with 50/50 weight distribution, just like the VX. Then it boasts TOD, and a front mid-engine location design. You need to watch their videos and then go to Youtube and look at the old VX ads/videos. (You know, Isuzu never originally advertised the VX as a rock climber, that's a purpose that that the folks on this board have created for it. It was originally billed as an "all-terrain world tourer", and accordingly entered in the Paris-Dakar rally etc.)

2 inch ground clearance that thing would get stuck on a shadow
