Ferrari Purosangue at a Glance: A V12 Answer to the SUV Question

Four doors, four seats, and a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 making 715 hp. How the Purosangue redefines what a practical Ferrari can be.

When Ferrari finally built a four-door, it refused to build it like anyone else. The Purosangue, unveiled in September 2022, is the marque’s first four-door, four-seat production car and its entry into the high-performance SUV field — though Ferrari prefers the term FUV, for Ferrari Utility Vehicle.^[1] Its rivals are the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX,^[1] but its engineering argument is entirely its own.

The V12 decision

Where the segment default is turbocharging, the Purosangue keeps a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter F140 V12, producing 715 hp and 528 lb-ft of torque.^[1] The engine sits in a front mid-engine position and drives all four wheels through an 8-speed Magna dual-clutch transmission.^[1] The numbers land where a Ferrari’s should: 0–62 mph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed above 193 mph, despite a curb weight of about 2,170 kg.^[1]

The body and the details

The shape is a 5-door crossover^[1] with a fixed roofline and rear-hinged “welcome” doors that define the design.^[1] The industrial-design world took notice: the Purosangue won a Compasso d’Oro award in 2024.^[1] Underneath, it shares its platform with the Roma,^[1] tying it to Ferrari’s grand-touring line rather than to any truck architecture.

Where it fits at Maranello

The Purosangue occupies a position no Ferrari has held: the practical one. Four seats, four doors, all-weather drivetrain^[1] — yet powered by the same naturally aspirated V12 architecture that has defined the company’s flagships. That combination is the whole thesis. Ferrari did not join the SUV segment so much as answer it, insisting that utility and a 715-hp V12^[1] are not in conflict.

The result reads less like a diversification exercise and more like a statement of principle: if Ferrari must build a family car, it will sound like a Ferrari.
