2022 Ferrari Purosangue

February 4, 2022 M.K.

Four years ago, Ferrari announced its first SUV, the Purosangue, and it is now finally known when this model could hit the market. After the competitors presented their SUVs, it seems that even the Italian brand could not withstand the pressure.

Following the success of other manufacturers and the need for fresh capital, it obviously had a big impact on Ferrari, which in its financial report hinted at entering the SUV market. The first Ferrari SUV should arrive on the market this year, and the first deliveries can be expected in 2023.

Last year was very successful for Ferrari. According to a report recently released, Ferrari has achieved a historic result when it comes to sales. 11,155 cars were delivered worldwide, which is 22 percent more than in 2020. The highest sales were recorded in the largest Ferrari market (Europe, Africa, Middle East), 49.2 percent. Also, sales growth was achieved in the markets of Asia and North America.

This is impressive considering that Ferrari did not have SUVs on offer.

Ferrari 296 GTB with 900 hp

January 25, 2022 M.K.

In the middle of last year, Ferreri introduced the 296 GTB model. It is Ferrari’s first “real” model that is powered by a six-cylinder engine, and due to the hybrid powertrain, it is far from the entry-level model. German tuning company DMC has improved the aerodynamics and engine performance of this model.

The car is painted red with black carbon parts, and the company says that the aerodynamics of the vehicle enable increased grip in corners and handling. The 296 GTB is equipped with a new set of springs that bring the floor of the Ferrari two-seater closer to the ground by an additional 35 millimeters.

The Ferrari 296 GTB is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 654 hp (488 kW) and an electric motor with 165 hp (123 kW) that give a total of 819 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. Thanks to turbochargers, DMC engineers have raised the power to 900 hp (662 kW), which (with a recalibrated gearbox) should further improve the performance of the 1,470 kilogram heavy plug-in hybrid. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The base model reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km / h).
