Ferrari is adamant that the new Purosangue is not an SUV, and we get it. It is certainly not an SUV in the conventional sense. We see it as a large all-wheel-drive hatchback, a GTC4 Lusso on stilts. That being said, it certainly isn’t a car you would drive to a track day.
The Ferrari Purosangue was recently spotted at the Fiorano test track. Despite its weight, the car looks quite composed around the twisty circuit, partly thanks to the rear-axle steering. But, obviously, it isn’t as quick as the 812 Superfast with a similar 6.5-liter V12 engine. You can see the weight shifting as the driver brakes into a corner. Also, note the front discs get red hot under heavy braking.
The Purosangue’s engine develops 725 hp and 528 lb-ft of torque @ 6250 rpm. It is hooked up to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Ferrari claims a 0-62 mph time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph.
