The Ferrari Purosangue may be an SUV, but it’s also a sports car capable of rivaling the best coupes on the market. All the result of mounting the traditional atmospheric V12 of the Italian brand, which in this version It delivers 725 CV, which allows it to reach 310 km/h and become the most powerful SUV on the market.
Purosangue is faithful to what the first photos spread on the Internet seemed to reveal. It seems small, but it is practically five meters long. (actually 4.97 m), which does not prevent it from showing flowing lines, a coupé-style accentuated front end, combined with a short rear, again similar to that which characterizes sports models. The last touch is no locks on rear doorsnot because they are hidden in the rear pillar, but because these open upside down (front to back, suicide door type), sticking even more this Prancing Horse brand SUV to the brand’s two-door coupes.
Reverse opening rear doors make it easy to get on board
Inside, Purosangue offers four seatswith two individual and enveloping seats in the rear, similar to the previous ones. The wheelbase (3,088 m) is generous enough to guarantee the necessary space to accommodate the legs of those who sit in the back, avoiding the trauma of the 2+2 coupés, in which those in the back seem to travel with their knees in their mouths. And if the cabin easily serves a family of four, the trunk with 473 liters You will have no problem storing your luggage.

The engine of this bomb, although substantially more spacious than usual for a Ferrari, is the V12 of the house, 6.5 liters and naturally aspirated, to let its carefree 725 CV be heard. And no matter how heavy the passengers and their luggage are, the 716 Nm of power provided by the engine makes it a pleasure to accelerate and overtake a game. That is why Ferrari announces more than 310 km/h top speed, as well as 3.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. Great values, but what don’t put the Purosangue clearly ahead of the Lamborghini Urus Performantewhose supercharged 4.0 V8 engine produces 666 hp, but reaches 306 km/h, after passing 100 km/h in the same 3.3 seconds.
An authentic four-seater Ferrari is a novelty, the Purosangue being the first Prancing Horse model to be able to serve the family.
And if the Ferrari SUV accelerates with incredible agility, it manages to brake even more surprisingly. All because its weight is only 2033 kg, which allows you to stop From 100 km/h to zero in just 32.8 metersrequiring 129m to repeat the feat from 200km/h.
The new Purosangue will be proposed from €390,000 before taxes, that is, slightly above the coupés of the brand equipped with this same V12 engine. The SUV is also the first four-door model from the exclusive manufacturer from Maranello, with familiar features.
