Ferrari Purosangue SUV globally unveiled

It will take on the likes of the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga W12 and the Aston Martin DBX707.

Ferrari has finally taken the wraps off its first-ever SUV, the Purosangue.

The Ferrari Purosangue has been a much-awaited 'four-door, four-seater' model from the Italian carmaker. It will take on the likes of the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga W12 and the Aston Martin DBX707; among others.

The new Purosangue comes powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine. It produces 715 BHP and 716 Nm and is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels. Ferrari claims the SUV is capable of sprinting from 0 - 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds while reaching a top speed of 310 km/h.

In terms of design, the Purosangue borrows a number of its design cues from the Ferrari Roma. The car features slim LED lighting at the front and rear, a sloping coupe-like roofline, 22-inch front and 23-inch rear alloy wheels, along with quad exhaust and diffuser at the rear. However, a standout feature of the Purosangue is it's rear-hinged back doors with a 79-degree swing, making ingress and egress for passengers much easier.

Inside, the Purosangue carries forward many of the features and tech from its other supercar & GT models. However, what is different is that the SUV doesn't get a centrally-mounted infotainment system. Instead, both driver and front passenger get their own individual display screens. The central console in between though features all the in-seat controls. At the rear, the Purosangue comes with two individual seats, replacing the conventional bench seat. The SUV also features a 473-litre boot space.

Ferrari is yet to announce the pricing for its Purosangue SUV.
