The Ferrari Purosangue will compete with the Lamborghini Urus and other super SUVs.
.
This vehicle will be Ferrari’s first SUV, which it wants to call an FUV, and will feature a yet-to-be-announced drivetrain.
The Purosangue is likely Ferrari’s last NA V12 series production model. I understand the vehicle will have an all-new V12 engine producing around 800 hp, making it the most powerful luxury SUV, even beating the new Aston Martin DBX 707.
The Purosague will have full 4×4 capability and a turbocharged motor, with typical Ferrari luxury and infotainment on par with the latest models.
Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna announced a path towards electrification of the brand, and the new SUV will fit in. With a V12 on offer, so will a hybrid V8 or V6. Ferrari has been slow to embrace, but electrification is firmly on the cards with a new CEO, who previously led a company supplying chips for Apple iPhones.
Some of Ferrari’s modern flagships, from LaFerrari to SF90 to 296 GTB, have been hybrid, a sign of things to come for the entire range.
From the Spy-shot, the SUV appears to have a Roma-inspired front fascia.
Purosangue is Italian for ‘thoroughbred,’ a name that fits Ferrari well. Ferrari had to sue an Italian anti-doping non-profit called The Purosangue Foundation for the right to use the word.
