It’s been four long years since Ferrari first introduced the Purosangue. Over that time, we’ve had whatever from spied prototypes to picture leaks to rumors regarding the powertrain, but the Italian marque has divulged nothing concrete. Till now, that is. Would this be the first supercar… er… super-SUV?
Ferrari shared the very first official picture of the hotly anticipated and extremely polarizing high-end SUV to the delight of off-roaders everywhere. (Purists, you may want to cover your eyes.).
“A new, and very different Ferrari is coming,” the automaker writes on its website. “A car whose bloodline can be traced back through our 75-year history of innovation, evolution and uncompromising performance.”

Whether you enjoy or despise the fact Ferrari is segueing right into sport-utility automobiles, it’s difficult to refute the brand-new addition looks every little bit a component of the household. In the photo, we’re given a head-on view of Ferrari’s first SUV, and also it’s happily sporting two bounding steeds, no less. Quite fitting considering Purosangue translates to “pure blood” or “thoroughbred” in Italian.
Other than badging, the auto has an enforcing position with split headlights and also curvaceous lines similar to those located on the crossbreed SF90 Stradale. Color-wise, it’s finished in red– it’s not like an intense Rosso Corsa red, but it’s both striking and quintessentially Ferrari.

There has been plenty of speculation about what’s under the hood. Rumor has it, you’ll be able to choose between a naturally aspirated V-12 and a V-6 hybrid power unit. The SUV could likewise end up being the basis for the Prancing Horse’s very first EV. Ferrari did not instantly react to a request for comment concerning the powertrain.
What we do recognize, however, production on the Purosangue SUV will begin this year ahead of deliveries in 2023.
“Stand by for a genuine game-changer” Ferrari adds. “All will be revealed later this year.”
The car world awaits with bated breath—well, some of us, at least, the purists we mentioned before might need a breathing treatment at this point…
