2024 Ferrari Purosangue
Starting at $398.350
Highs: Thundering V-12 power, nicely balanced ride and handling, one of the most exclusive SUVs on sale today.
Lows: Complex set of controls integrated into the steering wheel, funky rear-door handle isn’t that intuitive, one of the most expensive SUVs on sale today.
Verdict: The Purosangue is the performance SUV that only Ferrari could build and its performance capabilities speak for themselves.
Overview
We never thought we’d see the day when a Ferrari SUV became a reality, but in the wake of many successful high-dollar, high-performance sport-utes the company has finally caved to unrelenting marketplace pressure and produced 2024 Purosangue. An SUV with Ferrari’s prancing horse badge on the grille won’t ruin the brand, though. After all, successful iterations of the concept have served sports-car brands such as Porsche and Lamborghini quite well. It’s not only ultra-performance utes like the Cayenne Turbo or the Urus that the Purosangue will have in its crosshairs but also ultra-luxury models such as the Bentley Bentayga and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. A thundering V-12 engine is the only powertrain offered—why would it need anything else? The engineers have also buttressed the ‘Sangue’s ride-and-handling with a trick active suspension system to help it drive as a Ferrari should. Expect to need a hedge-fund manager’s salary to afford it, of course; prices start just over $400,000 including the compulsory gas-guzzler tax.
What’s New for 2024?
The Purosangue is an all-new model for the Ferrari lineup as well as the Italian supercar maker’s first SUV.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Ferrari Purosangue starts at $398.350.
Purosangue: $398,350
A host of luxury and performance features come standard on the Purosangue, but Ferrari does have some options that buyers may want to consider. Massaging front seats might be a nice thing to have after a long day of cruising down the Monte Carlo coast, and sunseekers may be tempted by the available electrochromic glass roof. Either way, we’d suggest making liberal use of Ferrari’s personalization options to create a Purosangue that’s puro you.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
To purists scoffing at an SUV wearing the famed prancing horse badge, we’ll point to the naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 engine lurking under the Purosangue’s hood. Nothing says Ferrari more than a screaming 715-hp twelve-cylinder, and it even wears the brand’s signature red-painted valve colors. The engine makes a hearty 528 pound-feet of torque, and we estimate that it should power the Purosangue to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 193 mph. We came away from our initial test drive quite impressed with the Purosangue’s handling and performance, alleviating any remaining doubt we had that Ferrari’s first SUV would be a dud. An adaptive suspension system is standard and uses an electric motor at each corner of the SUV to apply force to the dampers during cornering maneuvers to control body roll. As such, the Purosangue has no need for traditional anti-roll bars, and it can also hunker down during hard driving by reducing its ride height by 0.4 inches. At full chat, the Purosangue does its best impression of its sports car siblings and it’s one that’s fairly convincing.
