The Ferrari Purosangue (Type F175) is an upcoming high-performance SUV by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari that was introduced on 13 September 2022. It is Ferrari's first SUV and production 4-door.
Name[]
The Ferrari Purosangue is named after the horse breed. In 2020, Ferrari attempted to trademark the 'Purosangue' moniker, however an organization, the Purosangue Foundation, blocked Ferrari from trademarking the name, and as a result the automaker filed a lawsuit against the organization for naming rights which went to court on March 5.
Development[]
Development of a Ferrari SUV codenamed F175 began in 2017 and was hinted at by then-Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne, and was later officially confirmed in September 2018. The release date of the Purosangue has not been yet officially announced by Ferrari, however it was revealed 13 September 2022 for the 2023 model year.
Spy shots of a Ferrari Purosangue test mule first appeared on the internet on 22 October 2018, with the prototype using a Ferrari GTC4Lusso. The Ferrari Purosangue appeared in leaked images in February 2022. A month later, Ferrari revealed a partial image of the Purosangue. The Ferrari Purosangue was fully revealed on 13 September 2022.
Overview[]
The Purosangue will be based on the same platform as the Ferrari Roma coupe and will use fastback styling.
The Ferrari Purosangue will compete with other high-performance SUVs such as the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX, and Bentley Bentayga.
Engine and transmission[]
The SUV will use an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The power peaks at 7750 rpm and the torque peak sits at 6250 rpm. Ferrari claims it will accelerate to 62 miles (100 km) in 3.3 seconds and go on to a top speed of 193 miles (311 km). The unusual all-wheel-drive system is the same one introduced on the FF and later used in the GTC4 Lusso, it only operates in the first four gears and up to around 124 miles (200 km), above that it's a rear-driver. All-Wheel Steering is standard.
Interior[]
As the only current Ferrari to offer room for four riders, the Purosangue is outfitted with a set of rear-hinged coach-style (also called “suicide”) rear doors that are said to make it easier to access the back seat while preserving a two-door appearance. The front and rear seats are individual buckets, meaning there’s no bench in the back for an occasional fifth passenger, and both rows have a center console and a center console. Of course, the interior is swathed in Ferrari-quality materials. To say that the cockpit is driver-oriented would be an understatement as most of the car’s controls are operated through the steering wheel; a big surprise in this era of tablet-style center-stack screens is that there is no center-mounted infotainment touchscreen. A glass roof is optional but if you don’t care about seeing the sun while driving, sticking with the standard carbon-fiber roof panel will save some weight.
Review[]
2023 changes[]
When the Purosangue finally hits the market—likely in 2023—it will be a new model for the Ferrari lineup as well as the Italian supercar maker's first SUV.
Fuel economy[]
Kiss your gas money goodbye: The V-12–powered Purosangue will almost certainly be Ferrari’s least fuel-efficient offering. The EPA hasn’t released fuel economy estimates yet, but for context, both the Urus and the 12-cylinder Bentayga earn ratings of 12 mpg city, 17 mpg highway, and 14 mpg combined. We expect something similar out of the Purosangue. For more information about the Purosangue’s fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
