Finally, Ferrari has introduced their first SUV model. Dubbed Purosangue with attractive Roma-inspired style, a V12 up front, and 310 km/h of top speed.
The most costly models of the Aston Martin DBX, Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Rolls Royce Cullinan will compete against the Purosangue.
With space for a family, rear-hinged back doors, a useful opening hatch for luggage, and all-wheel drive so it can be used all year round, the 2023 Purosangue is a great option. Additionally, Ferrari has chosen a crossover body type that rises a modest 1,589 mm from the ground, in contrast to competitors who have decided to create SUV-shaped vehicles. There are only two bucket rear seats available with it. The rear doors swing open at a 79-degree angle, making it easier to enter and exit.
The 4,973 mm aluminum body's exterior design closely references Ferrari's opulent Roma coupe. The Purosangue has an exquisite appearance that is unequaled by rival vehicles because of its narrow waist, the shape of the rear diffuser panel that houses the four exhaust tailpipes, and the front and back light treatments.
Its rear-hinged doors, which set it apart from all competitors except the Rolls Royce Cullinan, are another distinguishing feature. Likewise, the unusual wheel arch trim offers a fresh perspective on arch extensions and ensures that even the 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels don't appear excessively large.
The 6.5-liter V12 engine in the Purosangue produces 715 horsepower and 716 Nm of torque. A rear-mounted, eight-speed dual-clutch transmission connects that to an all-wheel drive system. The engine's maximum rotational speed is 8,250 rpm, yet its peak horsepower is produced at only 2,100 rpm. Additionally, the Purosangue features a remarkable 49:51 front:rear weight distribution.
Additionally, it is the first Ferrari to have active roll control and hill-descent control. Large luxury vehicles now frequently have active anti-roll bars, but Ferrari controls roll by using electronically controlled Multimatic spool-valve dampers.
Inside, it looks significantly different, more like a mirror image of the interior of a 296 GTB on the opposite side of the cabin. Instead of a single central touchscreen, the driver and passenger each get their own enormous display panel.
The Purosangue's price has not yet been disclosed by Ferrari, but it is anticipated to be close to $400,000, making it far more expensive than the majority of other supercar SUVs currently on the market.
