A firm known for its sleek and powerful supercars had now undertaken what could be considered sacrilege. Ferrari’s first-ever dip into the world of SUVs has garnered an unrelenting torrent of attention and criticism. However, many months —and a few leaked images— later, we might finally be able to get an unabridged look at the Ferrari Purosangue.

In an almost cloak-and-dagger-like announcement, Ferrari tweeted a photo of what appeared to be the Purosangue’s headlights on full blast with seemingly nothing else. However, turn up the brightness a fair bit and revealed to you, like some temple puzzle you’d see in an Indiana Jones movie, is a date, specifically the 13th of September 2022 and hashtag Ferrari Purosangue. Other than this, there’s not much to go on, but the consensus is that this might be the date when the largest Italian stallion will be unveiled.

Unsurprisingly, Ferrari has kept the information about the Purosangue’s bits and bobs under tight wraps, with only speculations and confirmations in passing guiding the imaginative and curious minds of slightly appalled petrolheads. According to Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna, the Purosangue will receive a naturally aspirated Ferrari V12. Speculated power plants aside, the market for performance SUVs has grown considerably in the last couple of years, with each entry becoming more and more otherworldly. Some examples include Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, Aston Martin DBX 707, Lamborghini Urus (look at the Performante variant for an even greater kW offering), and Jaguar F-Pace SVR, to name a few.
The Purosangue marks the begging and the end of many Ferrari staples. If rumours and whispers are to be believed then the Purosangue could be one of the last nameplates in Ferrari’s stable to receive the acclaimed V12.
Pencil on the 13th of September, as it may very well be the unveiling of the first SUV bearing the prancing horse emblem.
You heard it here first.
