Nowadays, the supercar brand builds SUVs, which is nothing new. From the birth of the Lamborghini Urus to the arrival of aston Martin DBX, it has added a different color to this already diverse SUV market. At the same time, it is also to prove to consumers that supercar brands can not only build supercars, but also in the face of the SUV field that has never been involved.
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin are the three major supercar brands that everyone is familiar with, seeing that Lamborghini and Aston Martin have given birth to their first SUV models, will Ferrari be willing to fall behind? In fact, there was also a lot of news earlier that Ferrari wanted to build an SUV model, but it was not officially confirmed. On March 24, Ferrari released a teaser for a new SUV model on its official website, fully proving what it means to be "late but arriving".
Ferrari's new SUV model will be named Purengue, which translates to "purebred" in Italian, perhaps to tell everyone that although this is an SUV, it is also a pure Ferrari model. In addition, there is news that the new car will officially meet with the public in the second half of this year at the earliest.
Combined with the released trailer and the previously exposed real shot, although it is an SUV, the designer seems to be trying to suppress the body posture to create a swooping posture. The headlights on both sides of the front of the car and the daytime running lights form an "E" shape, which is very sharp and aggressive. The lower bumper position is flanked by wide air intakes, and the "Prancing Horse" logo in the middle is particularly conspicuous.
On the side of the body, the wheel eyebrows are blackened, giving people a small wide body feeling. The four-door body layout and the raised waist line on the door make the whole car more rigid. The lower pedal is also decorated with a black kit, and according to the conventions of the supercar brand, the carbon fiber material should be added later.
At the rear of the car, the shape of the small slip back forms the effect of the duckling's tail at the taillights. The left and right taillight design, somewhat similar to ferrari Roma, runs through the design in the middle, and the follow-up does not rule out the effect of a through-light strip. On both sides of the bottom wake diffuser, four rounded bilateral double out exhausts indicate the identity of its performance SUV.
This SUV model created by the supercar company, the power performance is of course also much concerned by everyone. This Ferrari Purerangue may share the 3.0T V6 plug-in hybrid engine with the Ferrari 296 GTB, still mated to a dual-clutch transmission. In addition, it is reported that Ferrari is expected to equip it with two powered V8 plug-in hybrid and V12 naturally aspirated engines. In this way, the V12 must also become the flagship model of the car, and the 12-cylinder "big heart" may have a maximum power of 800 horsepower. Be aware that this is a power configuration that is not available on the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX cars.
In terms of performance, as a direct competitor, the Lamborghini Urus is equipped with a 4.0T V8 engine with a maximum power of 650 horsepower and a maximum torque of 850 N·m, matching the 8-stop automatic transmission. The Aston Martin DBX is powered by the 3.0T L6 and 4.0T V8. Among them, the high-performance V8 model has a maximum power of 707 horsepower and a maximum torque of 900 N·m, matching the 9-speed automatic transmission. From the surface power data, it can be seen that the performance of ferrari Purengue is more dominant among them.
Write at the end:
In today's automotive market, hybrid and electric vehicles have gradually become the main roles, and the large-displacement V8 and V12 have gradually withdrawn from this market. As a supercar brand, Ferrari still insists on using the V12 engine in a new model, which may also be the best interpretation of the name Purosangue, "purebred" Ferrari. It not only has strong power performance, but also has the large space and comfort of the SUV, which local tycoon is not impressed?
