As you would expect, the car with rad design and big power looks nothing short of a proper Ferrari. The Purosangue is as special on the inside as it is on the outside.
As far as exterior styling is concerned, the Purosangue features a low-slung bonnet and slim C-shaped all-LED headlamps, which are reminiscent of the SF90 Stradale sports car. At the rear, the SUV will sport slim LED taillamps with a full-width connecting LED lightbar, and quad exhaust tips.

The company said that it designed the chassis for the Purosangue from scratch. The choice helped keep weight down versus adapting from another car. Ferrari says the chassis is lighter than that of its old 2+2 cars. It also made the rear-hinged back doors possible.
The Purosangue uses a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 making 715 horsepower and 528 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Ferrari estimates a 0-to-62-mph time of 3.3 seconds and the SUV's top speed crests at 308 kph.
