A Pure Thoroughbred That Could Shake Up the Global SUV Market

Italian sports car maker Ferrari just announced that its new Purosangue SUV will be powered by a high performance 6.5-liter V12 engine.  This vehicle is designed to be the fastest SUV on the road today.  Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna made the V12 decision promising that Ferrari's first SUV will provide outstanding performance and driving.  The naturally aspirated V12 is Ferrari's most powerful engine and represents a departure from Ferrari's recent strategy of using less polluting V6 and V8 hybrid engines. However, automotive experts expect that the Purosangue will be the top candidate for a Ferrari fully electric powertrain.  They also believe Ferrari will eventually offer it as V6 and V8 hybrid models.

Ferrari Is Ringing Up Sales

Despite the global pandemic, demand for Ferrari sports cars has remained strong with a 12% increase in core earnings for Ferrari in Q1 2022.  The company is promising a fully electric car by 2025 and has unveiled four hybrid electric models.  CEO Vigna says Ferrari orders are very strong into 2023 with most models sold out.  He hopes to have the Purosangue on the market by the end of 2022.  No details on price, power and performance have been released yet.  But with a V12 engine, Purosangue, which means thoroughbred, will certainly have more power than the 697 hp Aston Martin DBX707, which is the most powerful internal combustion engine on the market today.  The Ferrari Purosangue has all the markings of a gamechanger in the global SUV market and also offers tremendous potential for Ferrari.
