Poor immitation of a Lancia Stratos....

Neither fish nor fowl. I can't imagine all-terain tyres being anywhere near safe at the upper end of a GT's performance range. If you fit GT tyres, then forget 4X4 performance. It will be better at getting out of a muddy field than a normal GT, one assumes, but at what cost?
People with silly money to burn will be better off buying a genuine GT and a genuine 4 X 4, preferably an old one so that they can have all the fun of real off-road motoring without worrying too much about the paintwork.

Will this guy ever do something I don't like?

LORD help me but I do like this thing! I know it's about as useful as a submarine with screen doors but something about it appeals to me? :-P

Looks like a Mangusta

It would be very useful for the many billionaires who live where the roads are not so good.
The Middle East,China,Russia and India all have serious road problems in MANY places.
Only Germany has an Autobahn.
If you've ever driven a superior car on inferior roads then you should know what I am talking about.

LOVE the looks! Joke of an "off-roader", but for an on-road vehicle it looks great! Has the ground-clearance most super-cars are missing to get over a speed bump too. Maybe speed-bumps quality as "off-road" for super-cars ?

If it is for off road why no images of it in the dirt, and where is the deep suspention one needs for off roading?

@Fungletrumpet -Read the whole story. It's a concept from a design firm. People are not going to buying it because it won't be for sale. It doesn't have to make perfect sense.
I wish Lamborghini would go this route with the Urus. This could potentially be a nice compromise between the old LM002 SUV and what it's looking to do today. Add an extra set of doors, lift it up a little, give it a higher roof if they want, and you have a much better looking car than the Urus with just enough off-road spirit.
For those that think it could never work, look at the Rally Fighter, probably on Gizmag somewhere. A similar off road car that's been on some pretty rugged stuff.

Expensive and useless crap. Has about as much chance of going off road where it might hazard a scratch, heaven forbid, as a snowballs chance of surviving in the heart of the sun. Can you spell U S E L E S S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
