In their careful quest to broaden Ferrari’s reach without diluting the brand, the Italian company’s officials green-lighted the development of a more practical and usable, four-seater model with all-wheel drive, which they christened the FF, releasing it on the market in 2011. The rest is history, as they say.

Ferrari has pretty much declined to enter the SUV segment leaving it to Maserati and its upcoming Levante, but the designer at X-Tomi has a different proposal in mind for the Maranello brand.

It’s called the Ferrari FF Cross Edition, and it follows the modern trend of adding SUV styling elements and sometimes a taller suspension to otherwise regular cars. VW’s cross range of models and Audi’s Allroad vehicle lineup are some examples that pop in mind.

The designer imagined the FF Cross Edition with protective wheel arch extensions, side skirts and bumper trims, all finished in a customary black color, together with different wheels, roof rails and skid plates.

So, after seeing the photo below, what do you think; should Ferrari consider such a model / edition, or would it be better that these ideas remain in the realm of fantasy?
