Over the years, Ferrari went back and forth regarding its first venture into the high-riding realm. Yet after deciding they needed such a model in their portfolio, they finally gave it a shot. Thus, the Purosangue was born, and some say it's better than the competition in every aspect.
Speaking about its rivals, these include the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga Speed, and Aston Martin DBX 707. The first two are based on the same platform as the Volkswagen Touareg, whereas the latter builds on the bones of the Vantage. As for the Purosangue, it has many things in common with the Roma grand tourer.
Production kicked off earlier this year, and Ferrari's most practical model yet stays true to the Italian brand's legacy by featuring a V12. The naturally aspirated engine has a 6.5-liter displacement and produces 715 hp (725 ps/533 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. It's faster than the mighty Enzo to 62 mph (100 kph), taking 3.3 seconds, and it can do over 193 mph (310 kph) flat-out.
The Ferrari Purosangue is a very expensive proposal. It starts at just under $400,000 in the United States, not counting the destination charge, gas-guzzler tax, and dealer fees. As a result, it is pricier than Lamborghini's Urus Performante, which is a $260,000+ affair in our market.
Unless Ferrari decides to go down the V8 route when it comes to the Purosangue, there's no possible way this model will become more affordable. And if you were perhaps hoping to see a baby crossover decorated by the Prancing Horse's logos, then you should delete that thought from your mind. There is nothing to suggest the Maranello auto marque has something like this in the pipeline.
Nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped the internet from dreaming about it. Not only that but it was also rendered out recently by kdesignag, who took to social media to release these digital illustrations. Do you know what model the supposed Ferrari Baby SUV was based on? That would be the modern-day Fiat 600, which is a Jeep Avenger-sized and related vehicle.
Both the 600 and the Avenger, as well as other subcompact crossovers made by Stellantis, including the Peugeot 2008, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, and DS 3 Crossback use the same underpinnings. The 600 is offered with hybrid and pure electric powertrains, and there is absolutely nothing exotic about this vehicle. Therefore, it would not be a proper candidate for an alleged smaller sibling to the Purosangue.
Now, it's clear that Ferrari isn't interested in launching a smaller crossover/SUV, but if it did, would it be something you'd consider buying? It's worth noting that this move might force its competition to introduce other similarly-sized models, and they wouldn't exactly be dream rides of subcompact proportions, would they?
