Someone from the internet has rendered a Maserati Ghibli pickup truck which got me thinking about the possibility of a Levante Based pickup.

Its already going to roll on the BOF Jeep GC platform, would be relatively simple to stretch it a touch and carve out the rear for a short bed

would be particularly useless but hey so are SUV coupes and 4 doors porsches

Now whoever did this needs to turn the Levante into an SUT, i think that would be cool to see.

jebus. i hope that never happens. number of people who asked for a maserati pickup? NONE

I can't see this Ghibli truck happening, and I also don't foresee a Maserati pickup based on the Levante. At most I could see a larger size SUV that would be similar to the Levante. I just don't think people are looking for luxury brand trucks. Trucks are for mainstream brands IMO. Ford, GM, etc...

I really wouldn't mind seeing a Ghibli race truck concept, something along the lines of the Commodore UTE but of course much more high end and cooler.

Would be one of the most expensive and luxurious pickups ever

I'd like to see a Levante race truck. The Cayenne has been turned into a rally truck before, if the Levante ends up with Jeep systems underneath it could be a wicked rally runner

With Fiat owning Jeep, that's very possible. I read somewhere that the Levante could use Jeep parts, good chance it's suspension related stuff.

well yes, The Levante will be riding on Grand Cherokee architecture. So likely the 4WD stuff, i dont know about suspension, they could go a little higher end on that...

have any videos of that rally porsche?

A combination of Jeep capabilities with Maserati performance would make an awesome rally truck. Even if it was just a one off, I would like to see that happen. Then we could see the rally Cayenne race the rally Levante.

Isn't AUstralia the only place where there is any demand for utes?

Thats not a bad idea, i'd like to see that happen. I know this is not uncommon, might just be a matter of time till we see it happen. If not, it will happen with something from Jeep.

a ute is a car based pickup, as far as i know Levante is not a car

insane. that is one expensive rally car!

I found this photo set of an Evoque Rally car. Looks pretty awesome IMO. I'd like to see each brand's take on a rally car CUV.

The engine has been moved to the back and its a V8 5.0-liter supercharged engine that produces more than 550 bhp and a peak torque of 680 Nm.

yea but that was done by an outside company, and they sliced and diced it. The Cayennes actually came off the assembly line and then had additonal upgrades added.

That evoque is simply a shell on top of a race truck chassis.

title of this thread should be changed from

to

Someone from the internet has too much time on their hands

 

[mavante]

That is one crazy Evoque, never imagined this happening, but here it is, it happened!
