FERRARI PUROSANGUE PURELY A NEW BREED

THIS car, the Purosangue, has been the biggest surprise for me. Again, when most luxury and performance car makers were pursuing SUVs, Ferrari stood their ground and decided to buck the trend. Despite that, here we are with the Purosangue. Even then, Ferrari did buck the trend because I, and most people who drive it, won’t call it an SUV, not even of the hyper variety. Not because it is any less but because it is so much more that it might well be a new genre.

In terms of form factor and such, the Purosangue might look like an SUV. For better (for some) or worse (for some), it is not. This is where I think the name might, as regal as it sounds, may not be on point. Purosangue translates to “Pure Blood” or pure breed if you might. It should have been called New Blood probably or something along those lines. Before this gets any more confusing, let me explain myself. The reason why I do not want to call the Purosangue an SUV is because of our skewed definition of the term and how different the Purosangue is from it.

The only things that remain that put it in the category of a “Ferrari SUV” is the fact that it rides higher than most Ferraris, has 4 doors, and proper spacious seating for four. It also has four-wheel drive but we know that is not exclusive to SUVs anymore. All of this is powered by a 6.5L V12. Yep… a V12. As far as I can tell, this engine configuration has not been an SUV configuration except maybe a couple of notable names and they too, succumbed to father time and passed on a long time ago. That already sets the Purosangue apart from the competition, if you consider it an SUV that is (do not).
