The Ferrari Purosangue (Type F175) is a performance car by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari that was introduced on 13 September 2022. It is Ferrari's first production 4-door vehicle, and competes with high-performance SUVs such as the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX. It is the first vehicle of its kind produced by the Italian manufacturer, and the second Ferrari equipped with 4 doors and 4 seats. [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 a 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.
The front fascia is designed to make the car appear lower, featuring split headlights with LED daytime running lights between two split side intake ducts connected by a thin black panel, and the main beams integrated into the wide lower grille featuring the prancing horse logo. The side view is characterized by a high beltline, and black wheel arch cladding to give the impression of a high stance. The doors have a wardrobe-style opening with the rear handle integrated into the door frame. At the rear, there are two tail lights similar to those of the 296 GTB, connected by a black strip incorporating the third brake light on the tailgate, with spoiler mounted at the top, and a black diffuser on the rear bumper with a pair of twin exhausts on each side.
The interior has four seats, an electronically darkening sunroof, and a 473-liter capacity trunk accessed through an electrically opening rear hatch.
The dashboard does not have a central screen for the multimedia system; instead, there is a retractable touch dial that controls the air conditioning, along with other touch buttons. In front of the passenger, there is a 10-inch screen, while the driver's instrumentation consists of a 16-inch digital display.
The Purosangue is powered by a naturally aspirated gasoline V12 engine (code F140IA) mounted in a front-mid engine layout, derived from the one used in the 812 Superfast with which it shares the 6.5-liter displacement, however, it has undergone extensive revisions with new crankshafts and camshafts. It produces 725 PS (533 kW; 715 hp) at 7750 rpm and 716 N⋅m (528 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 6250 rpm, with the rev limiter at 8250 rpm. The engine is Euro 6D certified and enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph).
The engine is paired with an eight-speed Ferrari DCT transmission with a dry sump, correlated[ clarification needed ] with that of the SF90 Stradale and installed 15 mm lower than the GTC4 Lusso. This arrangement allows a 35% improvement in performance[ clarification needed ] due to the presence of new clutches capable of withstanding up to 1200 N·m during gear changes. The GTC4 Lusso's all-wheel-drive system is also adopted, consisting of two gearboxes – an 8-speed transaxle mounted at the rear and a second one mounted at the front directly connected to the engine with two gears. This configuration results in a weight distribution of 49% front and 51% rear.
As for the suspension, each shock absorber is fitted with a 48V electro-hydraulic actuator, capable of autonomously adjusting height and stiffness during compression and rebound up to 15 times per second. Additionally, a four-wheel steering system derived from the 812 Superfast is also present.
