Ferrari Releases Purosangue, a Four-Door, Four-Seat "Ferrari Utility Vehicle"
Key points
- Ferrari released the Purosangue, a four-door, four-seat vehicle.
- It is classified as a "Ferrari Utility Vehicle" (FUV), not an SUV.
- The Purosangue has a 6.5L V12 engine and all-wheel drive.

New Four-Door Configuration
Ferrari has introduced the Purosangue, a new model featuring four doors and four bucket seats. This marks a significant change from Ferrari's historical focus on two-seat sports cars, though the brand has previously offered models with rear seating options since the 1960s. The Purosangue includes rear-hinged doors for direct access to the back seats and a rear hatch, making it a five-door vehicle.
Design and Classification
Ferrari refers to the Purosangue as a "Ferrari Utility Vehicle" (FUV) instead of an SUV. The vehicle maintains a firewall between the cargo area and the passenger cabin, and the rear seats do not fold flat, limiting cargo flexibility compared to typical SUVs. Its dimensions are 195.8 inches long, 79.8 inches wide, and 62.6 inches tall, with a 118.1-inch wheelbase and a curb weight of 4,784 lbs.
Powertrain and Performance
The Purosangue is powered by a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing 715 hp (533 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. The engine is mounted in a front-mid position, contributing to a 49:51 front-to-rear weight distribution. It features an eight-speed, dual-clutch transaxle gearbox for the rear wheels and a separate power transfer unit for the front wheels, providing all-wheel drive capability.
