Look around you and the sheer variety of SUVs are proof that these automobiles are all the rage. Enter the Ferrari’s Purosangue – a total rebel. Like a rogue yet head turning stallion that crashes a polo match. The Ferrari Purosangue, which is Italian for thoroughbred, does not care about fitting in. While many would refer to the Purosangue as Ferrari’s first super SUV, that’s a nomenclature that the Italian marque moves away from. The Purosangue is Ferrari’s first four-door, four-seat automobile and packs a whopping 715-horsepower V12 engine!
Like any Ferrari, the Purosangue is a beautifully designed car and guaranteed to turn heads. The smooth sculptured body with its grille-less front end gives the Purosangue a stylish and contemporary look. Slide into the Purosangue and the aesthetics sure enough set you in the mood for the experience that lies ahead.
The dashboard splits the driver and passenger areas. The 10.2-inch screen switches between car info and entertainment. The Purosangue supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto because even Ferrari knows you need your Spotify playlist on a road trip. The sculpted seats hug you just right, and there’s space in the back for two adults. It’s the most practical Ferrari yet. You can even get massaging seats or a fancy glass roof. Ferrari knows that this beauty is for more than driving.
Now, the real fun is the engine. We took the Purosangue to the less crowded inside roads of Muscat and that’s where we saw the Prancing Horse in its glory. Start that 6.5-liter V12, and it roars like a beast that has been lurking in the shadows. It’s loud and fascinating in a world of quiet engines. It goes from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 310 km/h; the eight-speed transmission keeps things exciting. The four-wheel-drive system, from the FF, and the four-wheel steering, makes turning super sharp. Push it hard, and it’ll even slide a bit. The suspension keeps the car flat in turns but comfy on long drives.
The Ferrari Purosangue is changing the game for people who want their everyday car to be a thrill. It’s for people who love the track but want a feisty and yet stellar performance car on the road. Even for daily commutes, because why not? It’s exciting, rare, and full of life. The Purosangue is Ferrari’s unabashed love letter to those who love speed, style and performance.
