The 2024 Ferrari Purosangue inaugurates a new chapter in Maranello’s distinguished history, representing the brand’s first venture into the four-door, four-seater segment, which Ferrari defines as a “Ferrari Utility Vehicle” (FUV). At its core, the Purosangue is powered by a magnificent 6.5L naturally aspirated F140IA V12 engine. This prodigious powerplant delivers 715 HP at 7,750 RPM and a robust 716 Nm (73.01 kgf·m) of torque at 6,250 RPM, with 80% of maximum torque available from just 2,210 RPM, ensuring exhilarating responsiveness across the rev range. Power is efficiently transmitted through an 8-speed oil-bath dual-clutch transmission, paired with an innovative all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, specifically designed for optimal weight distribution. This configuration enables the Purosangue to achieve a remarkable 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) acceleration in just 3.3 seconds, en route to a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph). With a dry weight of approximately 2,033 kg (4,482 lbs), the Purosangue balances its substantial presence with impressive dynamic capabilities.
As a high-performance utility vehicle, the Purosangue redefines its category by prioritizing Ferrari’s characteristic driving dynamics. Unlike traditional SUVs that often compromise handling for ride height, the Purosangue features an innovative active suspension system, Ferrari Active Suspension Technology (FAST), which uses electric motors on each damper to precisely control body roll and pitch. This allows for exceptional agility and a flat cornering stance, reminiscent of Ferrari’s sports cars, while simultaneously offering a comfortable ride. The bespoke AWD system, unique to Ferrari, ensures optimal torque distribution, sending power primarily to the rear wheels under normal conditions and engaging the front axle when needed for enhanced traction and stability. Its athletic stance, low roofline, and carefully sculpted aerodynamic surfaces, including an Aero Bridge and active rear spoiler, serve to minimize drag and generate downforce, maintaining Ferrari’s commitment to performance-driven design.
The interior of the Purosangue is a masterclass in Italian luxury and ergonomic design, configured with four individual bucket seats. The cabin is devoid of a central infotainment screen, instead featuring a dual-cockpit layout with a substantial 10.2-inch digital display for the driver and an equally impressive 10.2-inch screen for the front passenger, offering a co-piloting experience. Key controls are integrated into the steering wheel and a retractable rotary interface in the center console, providing a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. Materials are of the highest caliber, with extensive use of fine Italian leather, Alcantara, and optional carbon fiber and bespoke finishes, allowing for extensive personalization. Notable convenience features include electrically operated rear “welcome” doors that open in a unique suicide-door style, offering effortless entry and egress, as well as heated and massaging seats for all four occupants, ensuring exceptional comfort during any journey.
The Ferrari Purosangue is a landmark model, signifying a strategic expansion of Ferrari’s portfolio while firmly upholding the brand’s core values of performance, emotion, and exclusivity. Despite entering a new segment, Ferrari meticulously engineered the Purosangue to be a true “thoroughbred” (the literal translation of Purosangue) with a naturally aspirated V12 engine, differentiating it from many competitors that rely on smaller, turbocharged units. This commitment to a high-revving, atmospheric V12 is a direct link to Ferrari’s most revered sports cars, ensuring an unadulterated Maranello driving experience. Its limited production volume further emphasizes its exclusivity, making the Purosangue a highly sought-after vehicle for those who desire Ferrari performance and luxury combined with enhanced versatility and practicality.
