For any car company, it is not expected that models that have not yet been listed will be leaked in advance. Because the leaked pictures are all casually taken, they are not even very clear. Such photos are certainly not what businesses want to see. Secondly, on the day of the official release of the model, all the people did not have a sense of freshness, because they had already seen what it looked like in advance.
Of course, it is not excluded that some companies are not sure about the user's preferences, and release some "fake" pictures in advance to confuse everyone.
Recently, the production image of the Purosangue, ferrari's first SUV in history, has been leaked through various social media sites. At the same time, Maserati, Bentley, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and other supercar brands have released SUVs, but "supercar" on behalf of Ferrari is somewhat passive. Because of this, Ferrari's first SUV attracted a lot of interest, but this time, even the design of the mass-produced car was leaked in advance.
Ferrari Prosangue is expected to debut this year and launch in the European market in the second half of the year. Based on the leaked images, its proportions are difficult to consider suvs. Sharp eyes are in line with the latest Ferrari design, and the roof line is closer to the hatchback than the SUV. The ground clearance doesn't look particularly high, so it can be inferred that it was developed using a new method unique to Ferrari, rather than the general SUV approach.
Although official information has not yet been released, it is likely that the engine is close to the front axle, and the gearbox is coupled with the rear axle. Two types of engines are mentioned, the V8 3.9-liter turbo and the V6 2.9-liter turbo are said to be the most likely to be used. It is understood that the possibility of joining the motor type is quite high, but the specific information has not been confirmed.
With the launch of the Prosangue, Ferrari expects to sell more than 10,000 units a year in a row and record the highest performance ever. Ferrari achieved double-digit growth last year through the sales of just 11,155 sports cars.
Some warned that the leak could cause significant damage to The Prosangue, which Ferrari had secretly developed for three years.
If the pictures are leaked before the new car is released, the leaker will be punished by law until a criminal trial. This is because the leakage of new cars has affected the sales of models currently on sale, causing considerable damage to OEMs, as well as the impact of leaking key product information to competitors.
In particular, the leak was criticized as being the work of internal employees for filming on the company's assembly line.
