Ferrari Purosangue
2022–present · Ferrari Purosangue — Super SUV, V12, designed by Ferrari Styling Centre (Flavio Manzoni).
The Story
For 75 years Ferrari swore it would never build an SUV — and then in September 2022 it built one anyway, sort of. The Purosangue (‘thoroughbred’) is the first four-door, four-seat car in the company’s history, and Maranello went to almost comic lengths to avoid the three-letter word, marketing chief Enrico Galliera insisting it is ‘a sports car that can be used in different conditions.’ In its press materials Ferrari leans on ‘FUV’ — Ferrari Utility Vehicle. Semantics aside, this is a tall, all-wheel-drive family Ferrari, and its arrival was, in Robb Report’s words, ‘the most controversial car of 2022.’
What makes it defensible to the faithful is what’s under the very long hood. While every rival reaches for a turbo V8 — Urus, DBX707, Bentayga, Cullinan — Ferrari dropped in a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12. No turbos, no hybrid. The F140 IA makes 715 hp at 7,750 rpm and revs to 8,250, mounted front-mid behind the axle line and paired to a rear-mounted 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle for a 49:51 balance. It’s a cylinder count unique in the segment since the old Lamborghini LM002.
Crucially, Ferrari refused to let it dilute the brand. CEO Benedetto Vigna capped output at no more than 20% of annual deliveries — a deliberate brake on a car whose order book filled roughly four times faster than planned. That scarcity, plus the no-replacement V12, is the whole argument: a Ferrari SUV is heresy, but a hand-limited, naturally aspirated, twelve-cylinder one is at least heresy on Ferrari’s own terms.

Studio Motors POV
A Ferrari SUV should be an embarrassment; instead, by insisting on a naturally aspirated V12, a rear transaxle and a hard production cap, Ferrari built the only car in the class that earns the badge on the road as well as the spec sheet. If the segment has to exist, this is the one that justifies it.

What Reviewers Said About Purosangue
Worth Knowing About the Purosangue
3 Things You Didn’t Know
- • It runs a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 — NO turbo, NO hybrid — alone in a class where every major rival uses a turbocharged V8.
- • The rear 'welcome doors' are electrically operated and rear-hinged (coach-style), yet Ferrari kept a conventional B-pillar for rigidity — the design team wanted to delete it, but the engineers won.
- • Its Multimatic TASV active suspension uses a 48V electric motor at each corner to cancel body roll, pitch, dive and heave — eliminating anti-roll bars entirely.
5 Fast Facts
- • Ferrari's first-ever four-door, four-seat production car, revealed 13 Sep 2022.
- • 715 hp / 528 lb-ft; 0–100 km/h in 3.3 s; top speed over 310 km/h (193 mph).
- • Engine: F140 IA — the same V12 family that powers the 812, 12Cilindri and Daytona SP3.
- • Designed by Manzoni's Ferrari Styling Centre; front-mid engine + rear transaxle for 49:51 balance.
- • US base ~$398,350; production capped at ≤20% of Ferrari's total deliveries.
Provenance
Owners & what to look for
Famous Owners
Zlatan Ibrahimović — photographed with a Purosangue in Milan (Motor1, Mar 2024); the source documents a sighting/use, not a registered title — treat as documented association, not confirmed ownership. Other circulated names (e.g. John Elkann) trace only to social media → EXCLUDED. Beyond Zlatan: none independently verified.
Studio Buyer’s Brief
The hardest part of ownership is getting one — the 20% production cap and an instantly-closed order book mean allocation, not money, is the barrier (early used cars appeared ~$300k over the ~$398k sticker). The buying case rests almost entirely on the naturally aspirated V12 — the appreciating asset versus the turbo-V8 rivals, and a formula unlikely to return. Check the 2023–2025 brake recall (541 cars, a fuse-box short — fixed free, corrected in production after Feb 2025); early cars had infotainment/software niggles rather than mechanical faults. Verify the transferable 7-year maintenance program is intact; go in clear-eyed about practicality (it’s Ferrari’s roomiest car, but boot/rear space trail a ‘proper’ large SUV).

Questions
Purosangue FAQ
What does Purosangue mean in Italian?
Purosangue translates literally as pure blood, which in common usage means thoroughbred. Ferrari uses both translations in its English materials, positioning the name as a statement that a four-door, four-seat vehicle built by Ferrari remains uncompromisingly a Ferrari in character and dynamics.
Is the Ferrari Purosangue really the first four-door car Ferrari has ever made?
For a production car, yes. Ferrari calls the Purosangue the first ever four-door, four-seater in the marque’s history. The only historical asterisk is the 1980 Pinin concept by Pininfarina — a driveable four-door prototype with a Ferrari flat-12 engine that was never produced for sale.
What are the Ferrari Purosangue’s key performance specifications?
The Purosangue’s naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 (code F140 IA) produces 715 hp (725 PS) at 7,750 rpm, drives all four wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle, and reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds. Top speed is rated at 193 mph (310 km/h), with four-wheel steering standard.
How does the Ferrari Purosangue compare to the GTC4Lusso it effectively succeeded?
Both the Purosangue and GTC4Lusso offer a naturally aspirated V12 and four-seat capacity, but the Purosangue uses a crossover platform with all-wheel drive and a higher driving position, while the GTC4Lusso was a low-slung front-engine shooting brake. The Purosangue produces 715 hp versus the GTC4Lusso’s 681 hp and is quicker to 62 mph at 3.3 versus 3.4 seconds.
Can you source a Ferrari Purosangue through Studio Motors?
Yes. The Purosangue is Ferrari’s first four-door, four-seat V12 production car and is constrained in supply by its significance to Ferrari’s brand identity.
