Ferrari launches its first-ever four-door sports car. Yes, it's a 725-hp, four-wheel-steering sports car, so don't call it an SUV.
And in keeping with Enzo’s vision, the Purosangue is much more practical than any other car in Ferrari’s line up, while apparently giving up almost nothing in terms of handling and performance. Ferrari did give a heads-up to a number of loyal customers, contacting them and offering an opportunity to order one in advance, by revealing just a few details of the car. It’s instead designed to handle like a thoroughbred Ferrari should on pavement, yet its added ground clearance (185 mm) makes it a much better choice on winding gravel roads to the cottage than, say, the SF90. Developed in conjunction with Canadian automotive engineering firm Multimatic, the suspension constantly adjusts ride height and damping to match road conditions. Astute SUV owners will note that the Purosangue lacks a rear wiper. It also borrows from the 812 Competizione: it has four-wheel steering, with independently controlled rear wheels. Reinforcing the claim that this is not an SUV, the Purosangue has a unique mid-front engine configuration that contributes to a sports-car-like 49.5/50.5 front/rear weight distribution. The engine has been reworked with a longer stroke, new cams and a redesigned intake, and a number of friction-reducing measures have been applied. Each of the occupants will feel like they’re in the driver’s seat, because all four seats are the same, as is the seating position, which is similar to that in the firm’s supercars. The first indication that it’s not, as previously labelled in reports, an SUV, is its sleek, flowing silhouette. While Enzo thought it would have been a practical car, automotive technology of the day meant that its performance was too compromised, and not very Ferrari-like, so the project was abandoned.

Ferrari today unveiled its first 4-door 4-seater, the 715-horsepower V12-powered Purosangue. Think of it as the 812 Superfast of SUVs, or a new form of ...
Note in photos that the rear door frame is a tall slightly rounded rectangle. They have learned those lessons and the Purosangue is their well-considered answer. The “power transfer unit” located at the front of the engine resembles in basic concept what we’ve seen in the FF and Lusso with V12. The roof canopy is a single-piece carbon-fiber shell. As in the 812 Superfast and GTS, the big-bore V12 mounts entirely behind the front axle line, a front mid-engine design. It draws power off the front of the engine and sends directly to each front wheel. One assumes that as with the FF/Lusso, this form of 4-wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged by the driver, and that it will work at lower speeds, like when working down a dusty road to a cabin, or climbing a mountain road to a ski resort. Purosangue has what Americans call rear suicide doors, or what the Brits call coach doors. Ferrari’s image and reputation is built on the enduring appeal of its mid-engine V8, and its V12 sports cars and GTs. Based on specifications, and the many photos and technical illustrations shown here, Purosangue could very well become Ferrari’s best-selling vehicle, the perfect companion to sit next to any of the firm’s sports and GT cars. Ferrari’s 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine is the finest available in any sports car, anywhere—beyond comparison. Purosangue builds on the many lessons-learned of Ferrari’s first venture into something resembling an SUV, the 2-door FF/Lusso.

The upper section is meant to be smooth and elegant, and the lower section—consisting of an aggressive rear diffuser and wheel-well cladding that can be finished in either carbon fiber or matte black—is intended to communicate the car’s power and capability. The dashboard incorporates the same digital displays from other Ferrari models, including a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster for the driver and a screen for the front passenger; there’s no central infotainment screen. When it goes on sale late next year, the Purosangue won’t be an easy commodity to acquire. The suspension can also lower the car by 0.4 inch during hard cornering, but there’s no way to raise the ride height beyond the standard ground clearance of 7.2 inches, underlining the fact that the Purosangue is not meant for any sort of off-roading. Two individual rear seats are standard, meaning the Purosangue is strictly a four-seater. To emphasize that it’s just as much of a Ferrari as any other, the project’s code name, Purosangue (meaning “pureblood”), will be retained for the production model seen here that will reach U.S. Rear-wheel steering is standard, and so is the same Side Slip Control system from other Ferraris that manages the traction control, stability control, and ABS programming. Of course, Ferrari doesn’t like to call it an SUV, instead referring to this new model as an extension of its sports car lineup with a new form factor meant to enhance versatility and comfort. But, with the power peaking at 7750 rpm and the torque peak sitting at 6250 rpm, the Purosangue is sure to be a revvy machine. It only operates in the first four gears and up to around 124 mph; above that, it’s a rear-driver. Ferrari says that 80 percent of that torque will be available at 2100 rpm. Over the course of its illustrious history, Ferrari has built sports cars in many different configurations.
Ferrari's new Purosangue is an SUV-like sports model, with four doors and a powerful V-12 egnine.
Rival Porsche's two SUVs, the Cayenne and Macan, together accounted for about 55% of Porsche's production in 2021. But even Ferrari admits the Purosangue moves the storied brand into new territory. The Purosangue may not have a traditional Ferrari shape, but it will sound like a Ferrari.

Much of the lower parts of the body are made from aluminum. Ferrari calls the Purosangue a "car" and contrasts its engineering with that of typical SUVs. A special darkening full-length glass roof is offered as an option, and there's a second screen for the front passenger "that provides all the information required to help them participate in the driving experience," according to Ferrari.
The supercar maker's first four-door four-seater has likely racked up more than 2000 pre-orders already.
Our writer goes to Italy to get a first look at the Ferrari Purosangue, the luxury automaker's first SUV. But just don't call it that.
Considering it took 75 years to finally build a four-door with four seats, it’s safe to say the V12-powered Purosangue is one hell of a compelling way to enter this brave new world. The tail section is a compelling combination of cleanly curved surfaces, [Roma](https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/vehicles/ferrari-roma-v8-grand-tourer)-like taillamps and four fat exhaust pipes whose width echoes the satisfying thickness of the 315mm rear tires. Visually, the latest from Ferrari manages to take a challenging format and execute it with flow and curiosity. This is the most powerful engine Ferrari has ever put into a GT car (and the highest horsepower in its class), a good thing since the Purosangue’s mass tips the scales at 4,482 lbs dry (before it’s filled with fluids). Furthermore, it has no off-road capability to speak of and there’s no way to attach a tow hitch to the rear, which means you’ll never see a Purosangue transformed into a Griswold-style The naturally aspirated engine is a beast of a lump, churning 715 horsepower and 528 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels.

Since this is one of the most luxurious “not-an-SUV” money can buy, one can expect to spec out materials such as leather, and Alcantara, including carbon fiber. Looking at the front closely reveals the lack of a front grille, replaced by a dihedral suspended on the lower section. From my standpoint, the Purosangue, which means thoroughbred in Italian, is deep down a Ferrari first, which happens to seat a family of four on a road trip. Unlike Lamborghini, Bentley, Audi Sport, and even Aston Martin, rear-seated passengers are treated to easier ingress and egress thanks to the coach doors, a rear-hinged design that opens with a 79-degree swing. Because it’s ludicrous for anyone to believe Ferrari would build an “SUV.” Of course, they’ll deny that this is an SUV or a crossover. When I first saw the press images of the Ferrari Purosangue, my eyes immediately focused on the prancing horse badges; this car is nothing more than a sleek and sexy-looking sports car without them.
Italian luxury supercar maker Ferrari unveiled the new Purosangue, and said prices will start at €390000 ($390000).
Ferrari owners felt an SUV wasn’t the right kind of vehicle to carry the prancing horse badge. Ferrari was slow to move into the popular SUV market and doesn’t refer to the Purosange as an SUV or a crossover. Ferrari said deliveries of the four-wheel drive, four-door machine will start in the 2nd quarter of 2023 in Europe and in the 3rd quarter for the U.S.

The wheelbase is of 3,018 mm and has a dry weight of 2,033 kgs making it one of the heaviest Ferraris. The Purosangue measures 4,973 mm in length, 2,028 mm in width and has a height of 1,589 mm. There is multi-function steering through which the driver can control most of the functions of the car. The biggest talking point of the interior of the Ferrari Purosangue is its rear-hinged back doors also known as suicide doors. The Purosangue is equipped with a naturally aspirated V12 that has a displacement of 6.5 litres that is mid-front-mounted. Instead, the design has a flow to it which helps in aerodynamics.
The Maranello-based supercar automaker currently has a production capacity of around 15,000 vehicles, which means no more than 3,000 examples of the SUV will be ...
And the only way to remain exclusive is to control demand and the offer," Galliera added. Ferrari wants to protect the exclusivity of its model lineup and has plans to cap the Purosangue’s annual run to no more than 20 percent of its annual production. Galliera told Automotive News Ferrari started receiving first pre-orders for the Purosangue way back in September 2018 when the original announcement for the model was made. "We risk not being able to satisfy demand, and maybe we will need to close the order intake very soon," Galliera said.

The Purosangue looks like any other Ferrari GT except bigger, which means it has Ferrari's largest cargo space to date. Instead of the company's spool valve dampers already used on some high-end sports cars, Ferrari has gone with brand new active versions of the spool valve system. It's a move that let Ferrari rear-hinge the back doors to make it look extra cool (though they won't make it easier to get in or out), and the company says the chassis is actually lighter than its other 2+2 cars.
