New machine represents a change of direction for the brand – and a fresh benchmark for a growing class of performance car.
The Ferrari Purosangue leaked online ahead of its official debut.
Ferrari’s new family SUV has broken cover well ahead of a planned debut by the brand.
The new Ferrari Purosangue – Italian for thoroughbred – represents a departure from the supercar maker, and its first high-performance SUV.
Instagram page ‘cochespias’ published factory floor photos of the Ferrari Purosangue.
Like the Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX and Maserati Levante, the new Ferrari aims to cash in on customers looking for more practicality from their next performance car.
The model shares styling elements with the new Ferrari Roma sports coupe, including split headlights at the front of a luxuriously long bonnet.
The Ferrari Purosangue promises to shake up the performance SUV class.
At the rear, the Purosangue has quad break lights to match its four exhaust pipes.
Technical details surrounding the car remain slim.
We expect it will have a couple of options, including a development of the proven, twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V8 that makes 456kW in the Roma, and 530kW in the sportier F8 Tributo.
Thee Purosangue will benefit from lessons learned developing the GTC4 Lusso wagon.
That engine was at the core of Ferrari’s GTC4 Lusso wagon, a model that combined supercar power with seating for four and all-wheel-drive. Hardware from the Lusso could carry over to the four-door Purosangue.
The fresh hybrid V6 found in the new 296 GTB may also make an appearance, using F1-derived tech to reset performance SUV standards with more than 600kW of grunt.

Expect the Ferrari’s cabin to follow recent efforts from the brand, replacing analog dials with a digital cockpit, along with capacitive-touch steering wheel controls and sophisticated passenger displays.
