Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, has announced the brand will be building its first-ever SUV. At the New York Stock Exchange this week, Marchionne spoke to journalists about the company taking 30 months to study and looking at production, even saying the new Ferrari may be called the “FUV,” or a “Ferrari Utility Vehicle.”
Many are speculating the development to be similar to Porsche’s introduction of the Cayenne, which brought profit to the manufacturer. This falls in line with competitors Lamborghini and Aston Martin and their development of luxury SUVs Urus (replacing the LM002) and DBX concept, respectively. The closest Ferrari has to an SUV currently is the FF model, with its four seats and four-wheel-drive or the GTC4Lusso successor. The brand is also looking into a way to keep the SUV model limited in production for its clientele.
For the 100th anniversary of the Chevrolet truck, the American automobile giant has revived its 1967 C-10 truck with retro Chevy badging for a bit of old and new. Revealed alongside the new 2018 Colorado and Silverado Centennial Editions, the vintage C-10 pickup is polished in matching Centennial Blue paint and upgraded with modern mechanicals for a smooth, stylish ride.
The customized car was revealed at the State Fair of Texas and will be on show at the 2017 SEMA Show in Las Vegas later this year. Flip through the photo set above and let us know if you prefer the vintage or modern Chevy branding.
