The long-anticipated four-door model carries a naturally aspirated V-12 and has a top speed of 193 mph.
Ferrari insists that the Purosangue actually isn’t an SUV. Instead, marketing boss Enrico Galliera calls it “a sports car that can be used in different conditions.” The name “Purosangue” was “a kind of lighthouse guiding us through its development,” he says. “There has been no compromise on design or engineering.”Whatever the semantics, Ferrari’s decision to launch the Purosangue with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 certainly seems to affirm the lack of compromise.
Ferrari claims the Purosangue can cover zero to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 193 mph. While every potential rival rides on air suspension, that’s not the case for the Purosangue. Stefano Varisco, head of Vehicle Dynamics, says “air springs are too slow to deliver this kind of performance.” Instead, the Ferrari Active Suspension Technology was developed with Canada-based Multimatic and uses a coilover design, with 48-volt electric motors to combat pitch, dive and roll.
The Purosangue’s alloy wheels are the biggest ever fitted to a production Ferrari, measuring 22 inches at the front and 23 inches at the rear. Access to the cabin is via what Ferrari calls “Welcome Doors,” the rear pair hinged at the back and opened by a dainty latch that echoes the classic 308. Unlike some cars with a similar arrangement, though, the Purosangue does have a B-pillar; “We needed to retain it for body rigidity,” says Manzoni.
