“The 1st Sports Utility Vehicle, aka FUV, to wear the Ferrari brand will be revealed later this year”–Paul Ebeling
This teaser shows off the Purosangue’s aggressive front end. The slit-like headlights are similar to what is on the SF90 and SP3 Daytona, with an upper unit combined with thin lower LED strips. A black band in the angular shark nose runs between the headlights and contains a front camera, with Ferrari’s rectangular yellow badge mounted on the sculpted hood and the prancing horse logo centered in the lower grille.
Ferrari’s teaser microsite calls the Purosangue a “genuine game changer” and says that it will be fully revealed later this yr. Many rumors have swirled around about what powertrains the Purosangue will use; the 296 GTB’s plug-in-hybrid V6 is a likely option, but the SUV could also be available with a V8 option and maybe even a range-topping V12. It is also a candidate for a fully electric powertrain. Expect a starting price of around $300,000 when the Purosangue goes on sale next yr as a Y 2023 model.
