Don't call it an SUV... Ferrari insists that you look past the four doors, body height, and more and see this as a sports car.
. Since Enzo's day, Ferrari has pretty much built the Ferraris it wanted to build. The Purosangue, the first ever four-door four-seater from Maranello, is a Ferrari that Ferrari's customers wanted it to build.
What Purosangue buyers will get is an engine capable, Ferrari says, of hurling the 4600-pound four-door to 60 mph in less than 3.3 seconds, to 124 mph in 10.6 seconds, and to a top speed of almost 200 mph, leaving the likes of Aston Martin's DBX 707 and Lamborghini's Urus rocking gently in its wake. Ferrari has taken an unconventional approach to configuring its first-ever four-door. The rear doors are rear-hinged, and open to 79 degrees. That's not just for sidewalk showbiz, says Fulgenzi: Rear doors hinged on the B-pillar would have required a longer wheelbase. Not that the Purosangue is a shrinking violet: It's 195.7 inches long overall, 79.8 inches wide, 62.6 inches tall, and measures 118.8 inches between the axles. It is the largest, tallest Ferrari ever made.
Under orders from the Purosangue's sophisticated new Side Slip Control 8.0 intelligent dynamics system, the system will automatically lower the car up to 0.4 inch from its standard 7.3-inch ride height in corners to effectively reduce the roll center once lateral acceleration loads exceed 1 g. An optional lift setting will allow the ride height to be raised by 1.2 inches to 8.5 inches at speeds up to 50 mph.
There's lots of clever details in the design, but the cleverest—and the key to making the whole car work visually—are the deep fissures above the wheel openings, which make it look as if a muscular and voluptuous sports coupe is floating over the technical bits that enable it to tackle all roads in all weathers.
At the rear is a diffuser that's more than just a design element to reduce the visual mass at the rear of the car. It's been shaped to not only provide downforce, but to also maximize the extraction of hot air from around the rear-mounted transmission, and the exhaust system. Ferrari says the Purosangue's rear screen doesn't need a wiper, as air directed over the glass keeps it clean.You sit in the Ferrari Purosangue, not on it, despite its overall height and ground clearance.
