Ferrari originally announced the Purosangue back in September 2018 but we haven\u2019t heard anything about Maranello\u2019s first SUV ever since. Thankfully, the Italians have uploaded onto their corporate website a document regarding how it performed during 2021 in terms of sales, revenue, and whatnot. Why is that relevant? Because it includes a juicy tidbit about when the high-riding Prancing Horse will finally break cover.<\/p>\n
Tucked away in the document on page 12 is news about the Purosangue entering production sometime this year. In addition, Ferrari says it will kick off customer deliveries in 2023, which tells us it won\u2019t be until closer to this year\u2019s end when assembly will start. It\u2019s the only time the SUV is mentioned in the document, so other new details have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n
However, when the \u201cFerrari Utility Vehicle\u201d was announced, the company did share some interesting details about its belated answer to the Lamborghini Urus. It promised the Purosangue would be the most exciting SUV to drive in its segment while offering \u201crevolutionary accessibility and state-of-the-art comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n
It will be underpinned by a newly developed front-mid-engined architecture with support for all-wheel drive and an adjustable ride height courtesy of an air suspension. The Ferrari Purosangue will have a transaxle double-clutch automatic transmission and a hybrid powertrain. Although the battery\u2019s size has not been specified, we do know the SUV will offer an unspecified amount of pure electric range. That tells us it will be a plug-in hybrid.<\/p>\n
