After numerous spy shots, Ferrari finally provides an official look at its first-ever SUV
After months of spy shots, renders and leaks, Ferrari has released the first official teaser of the upcoming 2023 Ferrari Purosangue – its first SUV, which the Italian supercar marque describes as a “genuine game-changer”.
Confirming the Purosangue’s global reveal will take place later this year, Ferrari has been very quiet about its inaugural SUV but confirmed via Twitter overnight that some of the rumours surrounding the car’s development are true.
“You’ve heard the rumours … and we’re delighted to confirm they’re true (some of them). All will be revealed later this year,” Ferrari said in the post.
The confirmation was accompanied by the darkened teaser image you see here and a link to a dedicated landing page with the Ferrari Magazine website.
The timing of this teaser makes sense given images of a seemingly production-ready Purosangue were leaked online last month, showing the high-riding five-door GT car in all its glory inside an assembly facility.
All of the key design cues seen on those images correlate directly with the official teaser, including the squinting front lighting signature, C-clamp air vents housing deep-set headlight bezels, gaping lower intake with darkened bumper elements and a centrally mounted prancing horse logo.
More of a crossover than dedicated SUV, previous reports have suggested the Ferrari Purosangue could take the crown as the most powerful vehicle of its kind courtesy of the Ferrari 296’s plug-in hybrid V6 powertrain and possibly even an angry V12.
Ferrari appears determined to ensure the Purosangue will set a new benchmark in class, outmuscling rivals such as the 520kW/900Nm Aston Martin DBX707 and 478kW/850Nm Lamborghini Urus.
The Purosangue will not be a small vehicle, either, with spy pics suggesting it will measure in at more than five metres long to provide plenty of cabin space across the front and rear compartments.
