The Purosangue is the first ever four-door four-seater from Maranello. Enrico Galliera, marketing chief for Ferrari, insists that the Purosangue is not an SUV or even a crossover. The Purosangue is a sports car first and foremost, he says. That means it has impressive performance and dynamics that will put a smile on your face.
The exterior design of the Purosangue closely resembles Ferrari's elegant Roma coupe, from its pinched waist to the rear diffuser panel housing the quad exhaust tailpipes. Design features like these give competitor cars a run for their money in terms of aesthetic appeal.

It's rare to see doors that hinge open from the back, but that's one of this car's defining features. The unusual "floating" wheelarch trim is another unique selling point, and it means that even the 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels don't look out of proportion.
The Purosangue's body is completely new, as you would expect. The lower sections are composed of high-strength aluminum extrusions and castings, with load-bearing aluminum sheet metal used to construct a space-frame upper structure to which aluminum, carbon fiber, and high-strength steel body panels are secured.
The Purosangue features a carbon-fiber panel roof that Ferrari promises is just as sturdy as glass, but 20% lighter. They also say it does a better job of soundproofing. When compared to the GTC4Lusso (Ferrari's most recent 4-seater), the Purosangue has 30% more torsional rigidity and 25% better stiffness. This all results in improved NHV and comfort for passengers.
Purosangue is 195.7 inches (4970 mm) long overall, 79.8 inches (2027 mm) wide, 62.6 inches (1590 mm) tall, and measures 118.8 inches (3017 mm) between the axles. It is the largest, tallest Ferrari ever made.
The Purosangue is a Ferrari that looks strikingly different from both the inside and out when compared to other models. If you were to see it next to a Roma, for example, you would be able to tell that they are two very different cars. That's because Ferrari designs each of their car's interiors differently - whereas most other carmakers opt for similarity in design between models. With the Purosangue, there is no large central touchscreen display; rather, driver and passenger have access to their own individual large screens.
Ferrari's new Purosangue will boast an engine hurling the four-door to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 3.3 seconds, to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 10.6 seconds, and a top speed of 193 mph (310 km/h).
The Purosangue's engine is beautifully crafted for a Ferrari that can seat four people comfortably. Although there was much speculation, the reworked 6.5-liter V-12 under the hood is yet another naturally aspirated version of Maranello's legendary engine. Its codename is F140lA, and it develops 715 hp (725 PS) at 7,750 rpm with 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque at 6,250 rpm. Most importantly, 80 percent of its peak torque becomes available from only 2,100 rpm.

The Purosangue is equipped with an all-wheel drive system and an eight-speed dual clutch transmission that is mounted at the rear, similar to Ferrari's GT cars. This helps create an even weight distribution of 49% front and 51% rear.
New Ferrari Purosangue will compete against the most expensive versions of the Aston Martin DBX, Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Rolls Royce Cullinan. Although Ferrari has not yet disclosed how much the Purosangue will cost, it is speculated to be close to $400,000. If this proves true, the Purosangue would price quite a bit higher than its competitors in the supercar SUV market.
