Is this what Ferrari’s all-new Purosangue SUV will look like? Read on for full details.
- Ferrari SUV spotted

- Naturally-aspirated V12 possible
- Could come with a hybrid V8 petrol engine
- Will be revealed in late 2022
- £200,000+ price expected
The new Ferrari SUV has been spotted testing, and it’s likely to be called the Purosangue. This will be the first high-riding four-door car the brand has ever made, and it should be revealed before 2023.
This new car has already been teased by Ferrari, as well as leaked online so we have a pretty good idea of what it may look like. Now the alternative to the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga has been spied out on the road wearing the least amount of camouflage yet.

Ferrari has done an excellent job keeping the new Purosangue SUV’s design under wraps – until now. The new teaser above clearly shows the new car’s headlights, bonnet and elements of the front bumper.
Spy shots of the Ferrari Purosangue show that it’ll closely match the teaser images in the metal. You can just about make out the slim and pointy headlamps, as well as the low-slung front bumper.
Fancy knowing what else is lurking underneath the camo? just check out these images, posted to Instagram by several accounts, including ‘actu.auto.fr‘ and ‘cullifornication‘. They appear to show what could be an undisguised pre-production Purosangue parked in a factory.

The low-slung sportscar behind it looks very similar to Ferrari’s SF90 hybrid supercar, suggesting some brave soul snapped this picture while working on Ferrari’s own production line.
A second photo reveals what the rear of this new super-SUV could look like.

It’s clear the front will look radically different from any Ferrari on sale today. It does, however, share some features with the Pursangue SUV imagined in our earlier renderings, shown below.
Upfront, you’ll spot similar headlights with daytime running lights cutting through in a similar fashion to those on the Ferrari Roma. It looks like the finished car will have a smaller, lower-mounted grille, however.
Although not visible in the leaked photo, it’s likely the Ferrari Purosangue’s roofline will likely look sleeker than the comparatively boxy Bentley Bentayga, as shown in our rendered image, above.
At this stage, there’s no way of knowing what the rear of the new Ferrari Purosangue looks like (without breaking into the factory yourself.) Our exclusive rendering (above) imagines it with a large black panel with the prancing horse logo taking centre stage.
The thin LED rear lights look similar to those on the Ferrari 296 GTB, and aren’t a million miles away from the full-width lightbar on a Porsche Cayenne Coupe.
New Ferrari Purosangue interior
In the front, you can expect the Purosangue to be crammed with leather, brushed metal and carbon-fibre, as well as a new version of Ferrari’s infotainment system.
The new Ferrari Purosangue is expected to be the first modern Ferrari to come with five seats, although it’s likely you’ll be able to get a set of two individual rear seats if you’d prefer – like those on the GTC4 Lusso.

New Ferrari Purosangue engine and driving
The new Purosangue is expected to come with a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre 800hp V12 engine lifted from the 812 Superfast. This would make it unique among other super-SUVs, most of which come with V8 engines.
Ferrari isn’t expected to offer a hybrid V12 Purosangue SUV, on the grounds that adding electric motors and batteries to a car with an already hefty V12 engine would make it too heavy. Instead, a twin-turbo V8 hybrid is likely to arrive at some point.
It’s not known whether the Purosangue will be rear-wheel drive (like most other Ferrari models) or whether it’ll use a similar four-wheel-drive system as the outgoing GTC4 Lusso.
Hybrid models may make use of a similar system to the SF90 supercar, where the V8 engine drives the rear wheels while electric motors power the front wheels.
New Ferrari Purosangue SUV price and release date
Ferrari’s official Instagram account confirmed the new Purosangue SUV will be revealed later in 2022.
It’s possible that it could go on sale later this year, too. Although (as with most Ferraris) you can bet that plenty of wealthy petrolheads have already posted blank cheques to the Ferrari factory to make sure their names are first on the list for this new SUV.
If you’d rather wait for this new car to appear in showrooms, get ready to hand over at least £200,000 to park one on your driveway.
