Good one. :roll:

You'e absolutely right Dirk. SUV is left for Maserarti to develop. Even then they're quite reluctant. The Kubang was aborted in the last minute.Dj Dirk said:well, that has been in the news this last few weeks, and i'll reply here what i've said at other places and to other people
Luca Di Montezemolo has said it a few times before already.
as long as he is the boss, there will be NO SUV, that's why there is Maserati.
and Maserati presented a study in 2002-2003 called Kubang, wich is an SUV
Success breeds success !!! The MC12 is made for the FIA GT series, so it will be focussed on that series. It has beaten everything in it's short stint in theFIA GT series at the end of the 2004 season. So Ferrari is probably now convinced that the Enzo LM can win the "Production GT Category" at Le Mans and decided to develop the Enzo LM from the MC12, not forgetting that the Maserati was originally developed from the Enzo. What goes around comes around.Dj Dirk said:where on earth did you pick that rumour up??
i haven't heard anything about that yet?
and that's a nice extra price over the MC12
but if they do that, then it might be very dangerous, the MC12 has proved already that it's reliable and fast.
taking both cars to Le Mans might be very interesting for us, but dangerous for the factory
BUT
if they have those cars at Le Mans, most likelly 2006 then THEN I'M THERE!!!!
you already met with Jean Todt again, haven't you?Stradale said:Success breeds success !!! The MC12 is made for the FIA GT series, so it will be focussed on that series.

Don't forget the man running Ferrari road cars is a die-hard racer. He sees things differently. After all he was the one that decided to build the MC12 and headed the Maserati Racing Programme when it started.
No. I got this from a friend who was also there at the party. But I forgot to ask him where he got that rumour but he repeated it after a few days, so he was pretty convinced.Dj Dirk said:you already met with Jean Todt again, haven't you?
Hi everyone,Lsportline43 said:That would be nice if Ferrari really returned to Le Mans. Don't understand why they wouldn't. Doesn't Ferrari have the second most wins. Only Porsche has more I believe. Maybe Ferrari can finally surpass Porsche. Then there'll be a little "Le Mans War". That would be fun to witness.
As for Porsche and Lamborghini buildling SUVs I think they are well within their rights. I know Porsche was affliated with off roading before the big "SUV boom". Also Lamborghini built the LM2002 or something. It was a huge SUV. I think that was back in the 80's.
As for Ferrari I am not sure if they have ever been into off roading or four wheel drive for that matter. Can anyone confirm if Ferrari has or has not been off road?
P.S. Fellas please don't try converting your current Ferraris into off roading machines. I don't think the results would work out too well. :green:
The Lamborghini was called LM002 and was build from 1986 to 1992 with 328 cars.Lsportline43 said:That would be nice if Ferrari really returned to Le Mans. Don't understand why they wouldn't.
