Practicality skinned and stretched over Ferrari’s sporting framework. The brand’s first four-seat, four-door, taller vehicle. Just don’t call it an SUV
Good stuff
Fast, noisy, genuinely impressive on-road dynamics, feels like a Ferrari
Bad stuff
Four-seat only, wince-inducing fuel economy, limited ground clearance and off-road ability, not cheap
What is it?
Purosangue; it translates directly as ‘pure blood’ but once you’ve finessed the Italian translation a little bit, resolves more like ‘thoroughbred’. Apt for a brand whose identity is forever recognised as a famously flouncy horse, and something of a departure for the maker of supercars. Mainly because Ferrari’s first attempt at a more practical, higher-riding vehicle has produced a four-door, four-seat, four-wheel drive SUV with a 6.5-litre V12 stuffed under the bonnet.
Except Ferrari doesn’t think the Purosangue should really be considered an SUV. It claims it defines a new genre, and is a thing all on its own. Cue much debate: if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
But much as it pains us to say it, Ferrari may have a point.
How so?
Well, with the proliferation of hyper-SUVs such as the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX 707, there’s a conversation to be had about what ‘sports’ actually means – because most of them simply batter physics around the head with electronics and power. Fun hammers, yes. Scalpels they are not.
The Purosangue bucks trends. You could argue that in following the SUV acronym to the letter, it’s the purest, most genuine SUV there is. It really is properly sporting. It’s four-seat only, with the rear accommodation (accessed via rear-hinged doors) as plush as the front. The 715bhp, 6.5-litre V12 – a cylinder layout unique since the Lamborghini LM002 went out of production and the Q7 V12 TDI died – has various bits commandeered from the Ferrari parts bin (and that’s a parts bin worth plundering) and is stuffed so far up under the bulkhead, the last two cylinders should warm your knees.
It’s front-mid-engined, and it shows. The eight-speed, paddle-operated gearbox is at the back, with a power take-off unit (largely borrowed from the GTC4 Lusso) operating a pair of clutches to power each front wheel. Although that four-wheel drive feels very much a helper, rather than for mud-plugging. This is a car that is very rear-wheel drive in most circumstances.
That sounds very Ferrari. What else is new?
There’s a fresh take on an interior, new ways to interact with the systems (see the Interior section for a bit more detail on that), and a very clever suspension system that’s allows the Purosangue to both handle like a Ferrari should and provide the kind of GT comfort that an SUV buyer might actually want. Head to the Driving tab for that bit.
