Market conditions demanded Ferrari changed its stance on SUVs. Enter Maranello's first ever SUV, the Purosangue which means 'thoroughbred' in Italian. The vehicle is expected to start deliveries in early 2023.

... [+]For the longest time, Ferrari said it would not do an SUV. Zing! 180-degree about-face. Market conditions demanded it so enter Maranello’s first ever SUV, the Purosangue . Come to think of it, this five-door was inevitable. High performance SUVs are the flavor of the decade, after all.

Spy shots of the Purosangue have been circulating on social media for several months now, but what you see here is an artist’s impression—based on Ferrari’s current design direction and spy images—of what the final production model will look like when production begins later on this year, barring any superconductor or other supply delays of course. Expect deliveries to start in early 2023.

According to our rendering, Ferrari’s all-new Purosangue will utilize design traits from current Ferrari models and not obscure styling tangents as suggested in some publications. Our sources say the SUV will take design cues from the SF90 Stradale at the front and rear ends while the side profile will benefit from styling nuances from the Roma.

Speaking of SUVs, the brand’s marketing team actually describe the Purosangue as a “Ferrari Utility Vehicle” and not an SUV. This makes sense given the car’s suspected low-slung proportions and low ride height. While this car’s very existence is polarizing for many Ferrari fans, we’re hoping the sexy proportions seen here in this rendering make it onto the finished product.

From what we can gather, the Purosangue will have a long nose, four doors plus a tailgate, and a sloping roofline reminiscent of the GTC4Lusso Shooting Brake. Across the back end we expect the car to feature a full-width light bar connecting twin sets of brake lights.
