Ferrari Purosangue 2024

Information

The Ferrari Purosangue (Type F175) is a 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 vehicle, and competes with other high-performance SUVs such as the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX.

The Purosangue is based on the same platform as the Ferrari Roma coupe and uses fastback styling. It has front-opening rear doors and a B-pillar. This configuration aids ingress and egress to the rear seat.

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 Purosangue was revealed on 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.

Specifications
The Purosangue has a 6.5 L F140IA V12 petrol engine, with a maximum output of 533 kW (715 hp; 725 PS) at 7,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 716 N⋅m (73.0 kg⋅m; 528 lb⋅ft) at 6,250 rpm. Ferrari states that it accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph).

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 200 km/h (124 mph), driving the rear wheels only beyond that speed. All-wheel steering is standard. The SUV uses an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
