As we all know, Ferrari is a company that produces high-performance sports cars, and its pursuit of high-performance, safety, and the handling of thoroughbred sports cars is very thorough, so these supercar brands have never had luxury SUV models in the past, and following the success of Porsche Cayenne, it has triggered a wave of ultra-luxury brands to launch SUVs, successively launching Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX, and even Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga.
In order to adapt to the trend of the world today, Ferrari is also about to launch its first production SUV - Ferrari Purengue, which will be built on the same platform as Ferrari Roma. Recently, overseas media exposed the latest news of Ferrari Purengue, it is understood that the car will be launched and put into production worldwide in 2022, and the first models will be delivered in 2023. So, can Ferrari, which has always been successful in the supercar market, gain a foothold in the ultra-luxury SUV market? Let's take a sneak peek.
Judging from the current overseas media shooting to the latest model road test spy photos, Purosangue, although still has a thick camouflage, can see a lot of design features. The overall style is not the traditional impression of the SUV, more like a high-chassis four-door GT sports car. It has a slender front engine compartment, as if it were the same as Roma, and the lines of the front face are also a little similar to Roma, of course, only a little.
The side shape is quite cross-border coupe, the front of the car is very slender, but the center of gravity of the entire body is actually on the rear side, which makes me feel as if FF has been revived again. However, it looks more like a standard SUV with plenty of space. I believe that the front and rear of the new car will be very aggressive and full of "fighting" atmosphere when unveiled, which will not be much inferior to any Ferrari sports car. With two exhausts on both sides exposed from the tail, and the classic rim, you should be able to feel this power.
Officially defined as a FUV, ferrari Purengue is a five-door, four-seater model that will increase driving comfort and be equipped with a new entertainment system in addition to the sporty performance in Ferrari's DNA. In terms of power, there are also many opinions, which may use the plug-in hybrid system of V8T + three motors on the SF90 and match the four-wheel drive. It is also possible to use the V6T plug-in hybrid system of the 296 GTB. Of course, Ferrari's proud V12 doesn't rule out the possibility.
Meanwhile, Ferrari's Purosangue engine will be located in the middle rear of the front axle and will be lower in height, while the dual-clutch transmission will be placed in the rear axle, providing a better counterweight ratio for the vehicle. A new chassis suspension setting will allow for a wide range of adjustable ground clearance.
Ferrari is known for its long-standing involvement in racing, especially Formula One, and its Ferrari team is one of the most successful teams, holding the most manufacturers' championships with 16 championships, and a record of 15 drivers driving Ferrari cars to win the championship. Ferrari's road cars, on the other hand, are seen as symbols of speed, luxury, sensuality and wealth. In people's minds, it has always been a super sports car image with great visual impact.
Launched SUV models, inevitably a little overwhelmed, in the eyes of many people, for the classic model, we want to see is that we can inherit more classic elements, although the launch of SUV models is also to keep up with today's trend, but in the eyes of the bucket car brother generation, Ferrari's famous Prancing Horse logo is the "veritable war horse" in our hearts.
Looking back, ferrari launched SUV models is also reasonable, a car company wants to develop, must follow the trend of the market, in today's many supercar brands have launched SUV models, such as Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Maserati Levante, etc., Ferrari is also to keep up with the trend.
Write in the last words:
Bucket car brother believes that for Ferrari, a supercar brand with Italian sports car pedigree, the launch of SUV models may bring miracles, after all, people like Ferrari a large part of the people are going to the charming exhaust sound, and SUV models can bring sports car models can not be compared with the practicality, this may be the most special Ferrari, let's look forward to it!
