It has been three and a half years since Ferrari first confirmed that it would launch an SUV, named after the Italian "thoroughbred" Purosangue. Finally, after its test cars were successively captured by foreign media, it was officially confirmed that this crossover SUV with the Prancing Horse factory emblem will begin mass production this year (2022) and begin to be delivered in 2023. However, the power unit that fans are quite concerned about is still to be officially announced.
From the photos captured by foreign media before, the body contour of the Purosangue is somewhat similar to the "tall" Hatchback hatchback model, which also means that it has a very different silhouette from opponents such as lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX. Compared with these two rivals, although all three are also positioned in crossover SUVs, it is obvious that in the spectrum of "hatchbacks" and "SUVs", Purosangue will be closer to the hatchback models.
In terms of power units, since the official has not disclosed any information, it can be said that there are many opinions at present. Among them, the 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo hybrid architecture used in the 296 GTB and the 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine PHEV architecture on the SF90 are quite popular options, with the former having a maximum combined horsepower of 819 hp (654 hp after the electric motor excluding the electric motor) and the latter with a combined horsepower of 1,000 hp.
In the price part, some foreign media estimate that the price of Purosangue will exceed Urus's $220,000, and DBX's $180,000 to $300,000, but of course, it is still subject to the original factory announcement.
