As disappointing as it may be for most car enthusiasts to hear, Ferrari has confirmed that it will launch an SUV early in the next decade.
The model will be dubbed the Purosangue and, in all probability, be a hybrid. We also know that it will be fast. After all, it’s a Ferrari. But will it look good?
The automaker will be under serious pressure to ensure its SUV is sexy and fitting of a Ferrari badge. It’s unclear what styling direction the company will take, but Instagrammer ildar_project has come up with their own idea of how it might look.
This single rendering depicts the Ferrari Purosangue from the rear. Obvious styling elements borrowed from the rest of the Ferrari range include the circular taillights and a license plate cutout similar in shape to the air vent found in the center of the 488’s rear fascia.
Alongside these eye-catching elements, the Italian SUV rendering includes a roof-spoiler, shark fin, and a triangular fuel filler cap. Other key parts include a color-matched rear diffuser, quad tailpipes, and aggressive lines running diagonally across the doors.
We’re not exactly thrilled about Ferrari venturing into the world of SUVs, but everyone (bar McLaren, for now) have gotten into it because they simply can’t ignore such a lucrative market niche. Arch rival Lamborghini has managed to make its own entry, the Urus, look as close to a Lambo as an SUV could. Here’s hopping that the folks at Maranello manage to pull the same trick.
