The Ferrari Purosangue (Type F175) is a high-performance luxury SUV by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari that was introduced on 13 September 2022. It is Ferrari's first production 4-door vehicle and sport utility vehicle, and competes with other high-performance SUVs, such as the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX. [1] [2]
The Purosangue is based on the same platform as the Ferrari Roma coupe [1] and features fastback reminiscent styling. [3] It has front-opening rear doors [4] (with a fixed B-pillar), a configuration which aids ingress and egress of the rear seat. [4] On multiple occasions, Ferrari has denied building an SUV; the Purosangue is strictly referred to as FUV (Ferrari Utility Vehicle). [5]
The Purosangue was awarded the Compasso d’Oro industrial design award in 2024. [6]
The Ferrari Purosangue is named after the horse breed. In 2020, Ferrari attempted to trademark the 'Purosangue' moniker, however an organization, the Purosangue Foundation, blocked Ferrari from trademarking the name, and as a result the automaker filed a lawsuit against the organization for naming rights which went to court on March 5. [7] [8]
Development of the Purosangue, codenamed F175, began in 2017, and was hinted at by then-Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne, [9] and was later officially confirmed in September 2018. [10] The Purosangue was revealed on 13 September 2022 for the 2023 model year. [11] [3] [12]
Spy shots of a Ferrari Purosangue test mule first appeared on the internet on 22 October 2018, with the prototype using a Ferrari GTC4Lusso. [13] The Ferrari Purosangue appeared in leaked images in February 2022. A month later, Ferrari revealed a partial image of the Purosangue.

Ferrari became a public company in 1960, and from 1963 to 2014 it was a subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. It was spun off from Fiat's successor entity, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, in 2016.

A luxury car is a passenger vehicle providing above-average to high-end comfort levels, features, and equipment. More expensive materials and surface finishes are often used, and buyers expect better build quality. The usually higher pricing and more upscale appearance are often associated with the users' higher social status compared to low- and mid-market segment cars.
