Ferrari has published the first official teaser of the upcoming Purosangue, its first SUV ever, while confirming its premiere for later this year.
The shadowy teaser gives us a good idea of the design of the front end and confirms the genuineness of the leaked photos from a few weeks ago. The Purosangue is officially the tallest model in the Ferrari range, with increased ground clearance, massive intakes on the front bumper, and a rather grille-less look with a think strip connecting the LED headlights. The latter are inspired by the SF90 supercar, blending with the nose and following the lines of the bulged front fenders.

The earlier leaked photos revealed even more of the vehicle’s design. The profile comes with black cladding on the wheelarches and side sills, five-spoke rims, a sculpted character line, and an aerodynamic roofline. The rear end is aggressively styled with 296 GTB inspired taillights featuring integrated vents, and quad exhaust pipes on the diffuser / skid plate area.
Ferrari hasn’t given us any hint on the powertrain specifications of the Purosangue, but rumors circulating the web and the already available engine options in Ferrari’s range give us rough idea of what to expect.
The most plausible solution would be the hybrid powertrain from the 296 GTB, comprising a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 and electric motor for a combined output of 819 hp (611 kW / 830 PS). Another option would be the hybrid twin-turbo V8 from the SF90 Stradale flagship producing 1,000 hp (1,014 PS / 746 kW) although this is likely too much for an SUV. Both hybrid options could be downplayed for the Purosangue with or without electrical assistance, while all-wheel-drive capability to some extent should be a given. Finally, there is talk about a flagship variant with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 from the 812 Superfast / Competizione that could go up to 819 hp (610 kW / 830 PS).
Since Ferrari has started the teasing campaign, we should learn more about the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX707 rival as we move closer to its debut. Production of the Purosangue will commence in 2022, closely following the online debut, with first deliveries expected in 2023.
