Editor-in-chief Steve Fowler thinks the new Ferrari Purosangue will struggle to match the practicality of other luxury SUVs.

Then there are rear-hinged doors – a pain to use on the [Vauxhall Meriva](https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/vauxhall/meriva) and just as awkward on the Purosangue. People love SUVs at all ends of the market because they make life easy and project an image many like. “It’s a [sports car](https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars-vans/106907/top-10-best-sports-cars-2022) opening a new segment,” CEO Benedetto Vigna insisted when the cover was pulled off the car for the first time. In short, I don’t think it’s going to be good enough at doing the things SUVs do so well. Even Ferrari vice-chairman Piero Ferrari, son of founder Enzo Ferrari, apparently has a Range Rover to tool around in.

Ferrari Purosangue SUV has 715 HP (Geeky Gadgets)

Ferrari has been teasing their new SUV for some time, it is now official and it is called the Ferrari Purosangue, the car comes with 715 HP.

This very effectively controls body roll in corners as well as the tyre contact patch over high-frequency bumps to deliver the same performance and handling response as in one of the marque’s sports cars. Maranello’s most iconic engine debuts in this brand new configuration to ensure the car unleashes more power than any other in the segment (725 cv) whilst guaranteeing the most enthralling Ferrari engine soundtrack. The Purosangue stands head and shoulders above the rest of the market thanks to its performance and comfort.

Ferrari Purosangue unveiled as brand's first sports SUV, to rival ... (Zee News)

Ferrari Purosangue sports SUV has been unveiled with a V12 engine producing titanic amounts of power and a sports car design that is reminiscent of models ...

The new Ferrari Purosangue is as special on the inside as it is on the outside. It is easy to notice the hints of Ferrari's previous cars, like the F12 Berlinetta and SF90 Stradale, in the car's body. The new model is naturally a quick car powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 mounted behind the front axle. The specialties of the car do not end shouldering the many firsts of the brand. However, it is impossible to deny the fact that the car is the first four-door, four-seater model of the brand, which also adheres to the brand's sports car legacy. However, for the Italian sports car manufacturer, this new model is not an SUV; instead, the brand insists that this is a sports car.

Say hello to the new Ferrari Purosangue, a 715hp family car that's ... (Top Gear Philippines)

Ferrari has officially unveled the all-new Ferrari Purosangue super SUV family car. More details and photos inside.

The sheer wealth of technology on board, and the lunacy of an SUV—or not, as the case may be—powered by a shrieking atmospheric V12. With prices set to start at €390,000 (P22.2 million), it’s arguably not even a rival for a Lamborghini Urus, the Aston Martin DBX, or the Bentley Bentayga. Instead of recycling a platform from the Roma or the 812, the Purosangue’s chassis is all new, and a lot stiffer than the GTC4’s structure. Add all the necessary fluids (the fuel tank alone swallows 100 liters) plus a driver and the Purosangue is going to be well on its way to 2.2 tons. You’ve got a while to take it all in then. Like the outgoing GTC4 Lusso—the shooting brake four-seat Ferrari that the Purosangue effectively replaces—the engine sends some drive to the front wheels via a miniature transmission on the front axle, and sends the rest down to the back axle via a rear-mounted gearbox. What you get instead is new Ferrari territory, in the shape of rear-hinged electric back doors. There’s also much carbon to be lavished on the wheelarches if you like, which are louvred and ducted in an effort to cut drag. Thanks to a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 mounted behind the front axle under that enormous clamshell bonnet, you’ve got a titanic 715hp and 715Nm to enjoy on your way to 8,250rpm. A standard-fit carbon-fiber roof lowers the center of gravity, but you can have a giant glass panel as an option to spoil that. While you dwell on the looks, allow us to pick apart the spec and try to work out what the Poor-oh-sang-way (Italian for ‘thoroughbred’) actually is. In Ferrari’s words, it’s not an SUV or a crossover—it’s a sports car.

Ferrari Purosangue represents a break from the manufacturer's low-slung racing machines and dispels doubts it would ever produce a versatile vehicle.

5/5Ferrari Purosangue is expected to launch in India by the end of 2023. 3/5Ferrari Purosangue back doors are rear hinged, and open with a welcoming gesture. 1/5Ferrari Purosangue is company’s most utilitarian model in its 75-year history —with four doors, four seats and a 473-liter (125-gallon) trunk.

Ferrari May Close Order Books For The Purosangue Very Soon (Carscoops)

Shortly after Ferrari confirmed that the Purosangue was equipped with a V12 and before its launch, Ferrari's chief commercial and marketing officer Enrico ...

Ferrari says it can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.3 seconds and continue through to a 193 mph (310 km/h) top speed. “We are committed to our clients and, despite the demand, we will keep control of the volume, something that is consistent with our DNA, with our founder mission, which is to remain extremely exclusive,” Galleria confirmed. This V12 is coupled to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and immediately sets the crossover apart from its rivals like the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX707.

Ferrari Finally Unveils The Purosangue — Their V12 Powered, First ... (Man's World India)

After years of teasing, Ferrari has finally pulled the covers off the all-new Purosangue, its first-ever four-door four-seater sports car.

It’s interesting to note that the Purosangue, even in its market placement, stands starkly apart from the DBXs, Cayennes, and Uruses of the world. There’s a big rev counter, the usual array of touch interfaces, and perhaps the only clue that we’re seated in a (not) SUV, the new Manettino dial, which now has an ‘ICE’ setting and no race mode. Supported by a detailed network of sensors, Ferrari has forgone anti-roll bars in favour of four electric motors mated to each shock absorber, spinning up and counteracting the car’s natural body roll — which, given the two-ton plus weight figures, is no mean feat. According to Ferrari, this means that the car tops out at a whopping 308 kmph — leaving its competitors in the dust. You might guess that the V12 sits a bit further back in the chassis than your average top-end crossover, and you’d be right. To anyone with a pair of functioning eyes, this definitely looks like an SUV, or a crossover at the very least.

Ferrari Purosangue vs Lamborghini Urus comparison – Dimensions ... (Financial Express)

Ferrari Purosangue vs Lamborghini Urus comparison. We compare Ferrari's newest offering, the Purosangue, against the Lamborghini Urus in terms of dimensions ...

Clearly, on paper, the new Ferrari Purosangue is quicker to accelerate and stop, however, Lamborghini also offers a hardcore model of the SUV called the Urus Performante, which accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.3 seconds. Speaking of the Urus, it is powered by Lamborghini’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, capable of 650 bhp and 850 Nm of torque. Standard carbon ceramic brakes help shed speed as well, as the Purosangue can come to a complete halt from 100 kmph in 32.8 metres. The Purosangue uses a two-speed gearbox for the front wheels and an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox to drive the rear, making it an AWD vehicle. The front-mid-mounted engine and rear-mounted gearbox give the Purosangue a 49:51 weight distribution. Although it joins the Urus, DBX, and Bentayga, the Italian sportscar manufacturer does not want to call the Purosangue an SUV.

Ferrari Unveils The 4-Door, 4-Wheel Drive Purosangue (Forbes)

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.

A First Look at the Ferrari Purosangue SUV (InsideHook)

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.

Ferrari Purosangue: 5 highlights of the brand's first SUV (Hindustan Times Auto News)

Ferrari has finally taken wraps off the Purosangue SUV which is their first SUV. Moreover, SUVs are doing very well in the automotive market right now so ...

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.

Interior materials range from the usually luxurious leather to more sustainable options, including carpets made from recycled fishing nets, recycled fabric in the headliner and eco-friendly Alcantara. The bespoke platform also meant that the Purosangue could be developed as a proper four-seater from the outset. Ferrari describes the interior as a “sporty lounge”. This uses a fast-reacting electric motor on each damper to adjust pressure on the fly and keep the body flat in corners. Ferrari bosses insist that despite its looks the Purosangue is not an SUV but a sports car, just a relatively tall and chunky one. Under the long bonnet, the Purosangue features a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12.

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.

Ferrari has gone all-in on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and that's a good thing.

They can then cease their failing to keep up with Silicon Valley, and instead focus on truly seamless phone connectivity. [I recently wrote](https://www.t3.com/features/android-automotive-is-the-future-i-want-but-its-google-maps-app-has-a-long-way-to-go) about how, in the face of far superior competition from smartphone applications and integrated systems like Android Automotive, as well as the [next generation of Apple CarPlay](https://www.t3.com/news/apple-carplay-worries), that car manufacturers should give up while they are behind, and stop producing their own infotainment systems. Assuming this is an entirely deliberate move, it is refreshing to see such clarity of thought from a car manufacturer. Many more manufacturers should follow suit, and I suspect they will sooner rather than later. [Apple CarPlay](https://www.t3.com/features/apple-carplay-mistakes) and Android Auto. And, while Ferrari hasn’t quite gone that far – the Purosangue can still play music and the radio through its own entertainment system, without a phone connected – it will leave the factory in Maranello with no navigation of its own.
