Ferrari Reveals Its First Four-Door Model. Just Don’t Call It This One Thing.
The ‘Purosangue’ can be yours for a cool $390,195.
Ferrari is known for their luxurious, speedy sports cars, an anecdote for many a midlife crisis. But today, the Italian automaker broke with tradition and unveiled the “Purosangue,” their first-ever four-door, four-seat car.
The Purosangue, which means “thoroughbred” in Italian, looks a lot like an SUV. But Ferrari prefers that you not call it that, thank you very much. They prefer the term “modern GT.”
Why? First, its massive 715-horsepower V12 engine is much more powerful than most SUVs and similar to other GTs, such as the upcoming . Second, the Purosangue’s engine is mounted behind the front axle rather than over it like other SUVs. And third, the gearbox is mounted in the rear to “create a transaxle layout similar to sports cars,” says Ferrari.
Other Notable Purosangue Features
- The Purosangue’s front bumper and wheel arch trim generate an “air curtain” that makes the car more aerodynamic.
- The backdoors are rear-hinged, meaning they open the opposite way from the front doors.
- The interior looks like an “extremely elegant, sporty lounge,” says Ferrari.
- For the first time in Ferrari history, the cabin has four separate, independently-adjustable seats.
- The double cupholders are made out of glass.
According to Ferrari, the first Purosangues will be available in the U.S. around the end of 2023. The price tag is $390,195.
