The saying “never say never” also applies in the automotive fold. Ferrari design boss Flavio Manzoni once said that the marque’s founder, Enzo Ferrari, would turn in his grave if the brand ever builds an SUV.
Based on the same platform that forms the basis of the Ferrari Roma, the Purosangue employs a naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine that makes 533kW of power and 716Nm of torque. All that power is accessed through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that drives all four wheels to enable the SUV to hurtle from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds before maxing out at a top speed of 308km/h.
As a four-seater of note, the driver’s cockpit of the Purosangue garners its inspiration from the SF90 Stradale, which is mirrored on the passenger side via a 10.2″ display. The comfort-specific controls are located on a hideaway rotary interface in the central section of the dashboard. Meanwhile, rear passengers get similar functions via a secondary rotary interface.
Buyers have the option to choose a high-strength fabric used in military uniforms instead of the traditional carpeting or leather used to trim the floor. Also, they can opt for the new optional carbon fibre weave that integrates fine copper wire that’s supposed to be more technically advanced than traditional carbon fibre.
The Lamborghini Urus competes in the respective segment wielding 5 112mm of length, 2 016mm of width, and 1 638mm of height, as well as a wheelbase of 3 003mm. The Aston Martin DBX boasts a length of 5 039mm, a width of 1 998mm, a height of 1 680mm, and a wheelbase that measures 3 060mm. The Bentley Bentayga, on the other hand, is slightly bigger than the rest, with an overall length of 5 144mm, a width of 2 222mm, and a height of 1 728mm. Its wheelbase is a tad shorter at 2 995mm.
