Ferrari presented the Purosangue on September 21, 2026, in Maranello, engineering the vehicle specifically around rear-passenger room rather than cargo capacity. The Italian manufacturer introduced rear seating during the 1960s with the 250 GT 2+2, preserving that secondary seating concept through the production of the 612 Scaglietti into the 2000s. Later iterations such as the FF and GTC4 incorporated all-wheel drive inside three-door shooting-brake bodies. The Purosangue departs from those predecessors by establishing dedicated space for second-row occupants.
Architecture shifts focus toward rear passenger space
Rear-hinged suicide doors open outward to expose two individual bucket seats mounted directly behind the driver. A fixed structural bulkhead isolates the passenger cell from the rear luggage area, which prevents occupants from folding down the rear backrests to carry longer objects inside the car.
Factory executives in Maranello classify the four-door release as a distinct utility concept rather than an ordinary sport utility vehicle. The chassis measures 4,973 millimeters in length, 2,028 millimeters in width, and spans an expansive wheelbase of 3,018 millimeters. Road evaluations through the narrow historic streets of Rome confirmed urban handling responsiveness ahead of the official Ferrari Luce debut.
Powertrain delivers V12 output through transaxle setup
The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine operates in a front-mid mounted position, generating 715 horsepower and 716 Nm of torque through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that distributes the 2,170-kilogram curb weight in a 49-to-51 front-to-rear balance across both vehicle axles. The transmission shifts rapidly.
- Front-mid mounted 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 715 horsepower and 716 Nm of torque
- Rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox maintaining a 49 percent front and 51 percent rear balance
- Steering wheel manettino selector featuring dedicated Sport, Comfort, and Ice calibration programs
The stop-start mechanism maintains smooth engine restarts during prolonged urban gridlock even before the mechanical fluids reach standard operating temperatures. Driving in Comfort mode keeps engine speeds below 2,000 rpm because the twelve-cylinder powertrain produces progressive torque output across the lower rev range. Switching the steering-wheel manettino into Sport raises the operational rev ceiling to 8,250 rpm while adjusting throttle mapping.
Cabin controls combine physical switches with digital displays
Drivers toggle manual gear ratios using oversized metal steering column paddles or choose an automated program via a dedicated physical button on the central tunnel. The steering rack feels noticeably weightier than the unit found in the Ferrari 296, delivering continuous road contact across varied road surfaces.
Electronic differentials stabilize corner exits by channeling power outward under aggressive throttle applications in Sport mode. Ferrari substituted traditional physical switchgear on the steering wheel to replace the touch-sensitive capacitive pads used on earlier sports cars. The digital instrument cluster displays Apple CarPlay projections so the pilot maintains forward vision without looking down. Configuring seat temperature adjustments and general climate ventilation parameters requires navigating several menu screens.
Independent screens and dual climate controllers equip interior
A motorized rotary controller emerges from the center dashboard to adjust seat massage, heating, and ventilation settings through screen selections. Rear passengers access matching comfort features through a duplicate motorized dial positioned between the back bucket seats.
The front passenger views a standalone infotainment display mounted flush into the dashboard facade directly ahead of the seat. An optical privacy filter keeps this secondary monitor hidden from the driver’s sightline during transit. While this front passenger interface runs native multimedia applications, it does not accept Apple CarPlay projection.
Tailor Made and Atelier personalization programs in Maranello supply distinctive exterior finishes like Rosso Portofino paintwork, while combined fuel economy averages 19.6 liters per 100 kilometers during regular travel. United States pricing starts at $393,350, with fully optioned test vehicles reaching $576,544 against rival performance models like the Aston Martin DBX and the Lamborghini Urus.
