Finally we are there. After so many expectations, Ferrari opens the curtain on his new atypical racing car. Attention, although the temptation is great, Ferrari asks not to classify it as an SUV!

here Ferrari Purosanguethe most imposing of all cars produced under the brand name of the famous prancing horse.

Ferrari Purosangue: SUV or not SUV?

It is important to understand from the very beginning. Face a a car of this size, it’s hard not to ask questions! However, according to the Italian brand, Ferrari Purosangue is not an SUV. There is nothing more logical, such a label will not stick to the fur of a prancing horse!

But if we remain purely pragmatic, then we must say that it is Purosangue has something that makes us doubt.

Him mess, him four doorshim four-seater and his height 1.74 meters… So many clues that this is anything but the classic coupe we’re so used to from the Italian marque.

But in the end a SUV » is only a name. Straight from the marketing research department! And even if this Purosangue has everything a utility vehicle, and even a sports one 725 horsepowerlet’s put the arguments aside and see what Maranello’s engineers have in store for us.

Ferrari Purosangue: there is room!

The first feeling that comes to mind when we look at this unrecognizable moving object is wonder. How to remain indifferent in front of a vehicle marked by a prancing horse same size!

The wheels, equally large (22 inches front, 23 rear) contribute to that sense of excess, while wheel arches parts (optionally carbon, otherwise plastic) leave the upper part of the case floating.

Yet, painting stay stylish Purosangue is thus a four-door, those in the back opening by antagonistic pathwaysunlike the front door.

When the two doors are opened we find a well-kept living room where space is generous.

Two large sizes can sit side by side, rear passengers can easily put their feet under the front seats. Both front and back, you sit in the Purosangue without leaning too much. Therefore, it is definitely not an SUV as we understand it…

Of course, this mobile living room is exquisite, and the decoration has the most beautiful effect in the cabin.

Ferrari Purosangue: New Own V12

Phew! in Purosangue avoided shock. At least for now.

In truth, this animated one will be “only” a Atmospheric V12at least until 2025 year. A bold choice these days. A choice that can only please us, as we systematically weep at the thought of the disappearance of such magical jewels.

The engine block advertised as brand new is handmade at the factory except for the crankshaft which is outsourced. The car also consists of more than 80% of new components.

Derived from this 812 ContestThe direct-injection 6.5-liter V12 is 65% open and located in a front-center position.

It offers dual overhead camshafts operating 48 valves and remains a dry sump. The intake ducts were redesigned, as well as most of the interior parts.

The same goes for the exhaust, for which the engineers insisted on getting a manifold where each pipe is the same length. The sound will be inconspicuous if desired GT mode where” Ferraresque in sports mode.

Therefore, the new block offers 725 hp in 7750 rpmassociated with a dual-clutch transmission 8 gears. More than enough power to move almost 2.2 tons of car!

Ferrari Purosangue: a pearl of technology

The chassis is made of several types of aluminum (extruded or cast) with carbon reinforcements on the rear mounting points and the windshield.

As standard, the roof is also made of carbon. But the option is electrosensitive film glass, allows you to make it transparent or opaque on demand. If this type of roof is not new, then it is the first has four independent elements that each passenger can adjust at his discretion. Pleasure!

Finally, aerodynamics have also benefited from a lot of work by engineers to optimize stability and engine cooling.

As we can see, Purosangue is not only a beautiful jig, but also a technical monster. Probably able to make people forget about their weight. Because at 2,180kg on the scale with full tanks, it’s simply the heaviest Ferrari ever built.
