Ferrari will launch their new 715bhp, V12 powered four-door SUV to the eagerly awaiting public in 2023.
The Ferrari Purosangue.
The Purosangue or Thoroughbred will sell for around £350,000; to put that into perspective, the Lamborghini Urus is around £177,500, and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan costs less than £300,000.
Confusion still exists as to whether or not ‘the Thoroughbred’ is an SUV; Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna says it’s not actually an SUV, more ‘A sports car opening a new segment’. Whatever that means.
Back in 2017, the then CEO of Ferrari, Sergio Marchionne, was very adamant that he wouldn’t ‘bastardise’ the brand by building a type of car that could never have the ‘driving dynamics of a Ferrari. No Ferrari SUV.
A few months later, Mr Marchionne would go back on his previous proclamation and said an SUV ‘would probably happen.’
Even more surprising is that this potentially very capable 4×4 is unable to tow your posh horsebox since a tow bar will not be an option.
So, what have we got?
Evidently, the Ferrari Purosangue is Not an SUV. ‘But a V12-Powered Supercar on Stilts.’
