The Ferrari Purosangue SUV is edging closer to production and will take inspiration from the recently revealed Roma GT
The technological underpinnings of the newly launched Ferrari Roma GT are to be used to support the most controversial vehicle planned in Ferrari’s 15 car-strong new-product push: the Purosangue SUV.
Termed an ‘FUV’ by Ferrari marketeers, and due to be unveiled in 2021, the Ferrari Purosangue will use an adapted version of a modular, multi-material, front-engined platform making its debut under the Roma. Ferrari chief technology officer Michael Lieters explained the technology to Auto Express at the Roma unveiling.
“In general we will have two families of architecture – front- and rear-engine families,” he told us. “The modularity is there, and especially on the front-engined architecture we have to foresee many more models. We have a 2+2, we have a 4+, we are thinking about Purosangue, and so on.”
Plug-in power is thought to be Ferrari’s preferred option for the Purosangue, and Lieters explained that the four-wheel-drive-capable platform is compatible with V6, V8 and V12 engines.
