Wanna Bet You Won't Guess How Much This Ferrari Purosangue Costs?

Porsche also has the Cayenne to cater to the needs of its crossover fans, and Mercedes-Maybach still tries to lure deep-pocketed enthusiasts in with the GLS, which is basically a re-branded Benz. McLaren is seriously considering expanding its lineup with a high-rider, and we might also see a similar ride from Bugatti in a few years.

It seems that Pagani and Koenigsegg are in the minority for not offering an SUV, but if it's one thing we've learned about the automotive industry, never say never. After all, Ferrari's ex-head honcho, the late Sergio Marchionne, famously said, "You have to shoot me first!" when asked about the possibility of a Prancing Horse-branded SUV back in 2016, and seven years later, the Purosangue entered production.

Depending on whom you ask, you'll get different answers. Some say it is the exotic crossover to get, as it comes from a famous Italian supercar maker and features a great naturally aspirated V12. Others would beg to differ, stating that Ferrari lost its appeal when it launched such a product, whose main target is the VW Touareg-based Lamborghini Urus.

Speaking of underpinnings, the Urus shares its nuts and bolts with the aforementioned Touareg, and also every other similarly-sized SUV from the VW Group, including the Bentley Bentayga, Audi Q7, Q8, Porsche Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe. The Purosangue, on the other hand, traces its roots to the Roma, which in turn is based on the old Portofino. Thank God and every other deity it is not an open-top model!

Truth be told, the Ferrari Purosangue is not the ugliest proposal in its class. It's far from being the prettiest either, but the Prancing Horse tried to do its best when designing it. From certain angles, it looks like an overrated mega hatch with rear coach doors, and despite its adventurous nature, it won't venture far into the wilderness, as it's not exactly a body-on-frame proposal with a low-range gearbox and a very generous ground clearance. Thus, it's nothing more than a mall crawler with four seats and a 16.7-cubic-inch (473-liter) trunk capacity.

The spec sheet reveals that Ferrari's SUV is faster in a straight line than the iconic Enzo. The 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint is a 3.3-second affair, some three-tenths faster than the supercar from the 2000s, though the latter will outrun it with a 217 mph (350+ kph) top speed. The Purosangue maxes out at over 193 mph (310 kph). Power comes from a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 that can be revved up to 8,250 rpm and churns out 715 hp (725 ps/533 kW) and 528 pound-foot (716 Nm) of torque.

By comparison, the punchiest Lamborghini Urus, the SE, which uses a plug-in hybrid V8, is just as fast in straight-line acceleration and can do a bit more flat-out: 194 mph (312 kph). Lambo's electrified Urus has 611 hp (620 ps/456 kW) coming from the 4.0L twin-turbo motor and 189 hp (192 ps/141 kW) motor housed inside the 8-speed automatic transmission. The total output is 789 hp (800 ps/588 kW), and it sends 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) to the all-wheel drive system.

Ferrari launched the Purosangue in the United States late last year as a 2024 model, pricing it at nearly $400,000. Since then, numerous copies have been listed for much more than that. However, this might be the most expensive one out there, as it is an almost seven-digit affair. Yep, you read that right: a Ferrari high-rider that costs nearly one million dollars. The asking price at the time of writing was €916,300, including tax, and that came out to $997,283. Factor in the delivery, insurance, and other costs, and it will cost you a cool seven digits to make it yours.

We found this Ferrari Purosangue listed on Hollmann International here. The ad reveals that it is a brand-new vehicle with only the delivery miles on the odometer, featuring a Verde Minerale exterior paint finish on top of the Iroko Brown cockpit. It features a few carbon fiber appointments, rides on 20-inch alloys, and boasts numerous optional extras, including the panoramic roof, nose-lift kit, Cavallino stitching on the headrests, massaging, and ventilation functions for the front and rear seats, and many other goodies that its future owner will certainly come to appreciate.

Now, speaking of future owners, would you pay the vendor one million dollars to make this Ferrari Purosangue yours if you had all the money in the world? We wouldn't, as this vehicle is overpriced, and you could land one for far less if you know where to look.
