Ferrari presents the Purosangue, its first SUV with a V12 engine

The least we can say is that it does not leave one indifferent. There Ferrari Purosangue was as much awaited by the curious as it was feared by Prancing Horse purists. Presented this Tuesday, September 13, the very first excursion of the Italian manufacturer into the field of SUVs was keen to preserve the DNA of the firm.
We are delighted to introduce the #FerrariPurosangue, Maranello's first ever four-door four-seater, sporting a naturally-aspirated V12.

The soul of the 4×4 is indeed a hell of a beast. It is a 12-liter naturally aspirated V6.5 derived from the engine fitted to the 812 Competizione developing 725 horsepower and placed in the front central position. There is, at least until 2025, no electrical system in the Purosangue, a choice which goes against the trend of hybridization of (very) sports cars.
Even if Ferrari refuses to badge its new “SUV” creation, its titanic weight of 2 kg respects the codes of the category, as do its generous dimensions (180m high, 1,74m long).
However, we are not yet ready to see the Ferrari Purosangue in the chic neighborhoods of megacities. The first deliveries are scheduled for mid-2023, and all copies are already ordered until 2026! For your information, please note that the purchase price is set at 390 euros, to which must be added a 000 euro penalty in France.

Very nice car, much more elegant than a Lambo Urus and more dynamic than an Aston DBX

First deliveries mid-2023 and all production until 2026 already sold... with a price starting at €390k in France. Obviously, we are not all equal in the face of the crisis!!
