If Ferrari were to even contemplate the notion of an SUV, Enzo himself would surely rise from the grave and immolate the town of Modena.

Lordy folks you must not be reading the thread.
The image is of a Maserati Kubang with Ferrari lights and other bits photoshopped onto it. Ferrari has no plans to bring an SUV to market.
Just to explain the corporate structure, it goes like this.
Fiat owns 56% of Ferrari.
In 1997, Fiat and Ferrari bought Maserati, each with a 50% stake (but then technically Fiat owned 56% of Ferrari's 50% stake).
In 1999 Ferrari bought Fiat's 50% stake in Maserati to become full owner. But Fiat still owned 56% because they own 56% of Ferrari.
In 2005 Ferrari sold the whole of Maserati back to Fiat. So now Fiat is 100% owner of Maserati and 56% owner of Ferrari.
Fiat has stated that it is going to use Maserati to bring Alfa Romeo (which is sorta to Fiat as Audi is to VW, but not as premium as Audi is) more upmarket. There is a plan to bring out both Alfa and Maserati crossover SUVs, since they both have shown sorta similar concepts in the past. For more info see this thread.
Ferrari however does not figure into this plan.
