The thought of a Ferrari SUV would have been unthinkable only a decade in the past however right here we’re in 2023 with the almighty Purosangue in the marketplace. Certain, Ferrari itself doesn’t consult with it as a SUV however everyone knows that’s precisely what it’s and that’s no unhealthy factor. In any case, there isn’t a different SUV in the marketplace fairly like this with a screaming, naturally aspirated V12.
The Italians are masters of the V12 and Ferrari’s determination to equip its first SUV with 12-cylinders seems to have been a masterstroke. Whereas we’re certain the Purosangue would have been welcomed into the Ferrari household by house owners and lovers had been it fitted with the model’s twin-turbo V6 or V8, the presence of a 6.5-liter V12 provides it a completely new degree of enchantment. This clip confirms simply how outstanding this engine sounds.
This clip was filmed by YouTuber FCars simply outdoors the Ferrari facility in Maranello, Italy and exhibits what are possible a pair of customer-ordered vehicles getting a fast shakedown earlier than heading off to their new properties.

Ferrari has extracted 715 hp and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque from the Purosangue’s V12. That provides it a major edge over the Lamborghini Urus Performante and Urus S, each with 657 hp, and makes us surprise if Lamborghini ever considered constructing the Urus with a V12. Like Ferrari, Lamborghini produces a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12, though it was just lately up to date to type the hybrid system of the Revuelto. It’s laborious to say if there’s room within the Urus’s engine bay to suit a V12 however we suspect the wise bosses on the VW Group thought it might be much more economical to construct the Urus with the identical fundamental 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 it has in different fashions.
