2022 Ferrari Purosangue

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

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).

The price of the upgrade of the Ferrari 296 GTB costs 270,000 EUR, which does not include the optional Assetto Fiorano package.

Ferrari Daytona SP3

During the 2021 Ferrari World Cup Finals, Ferrari introduced the Daytona SP3 model. With a modern design, it is considered the most aerodynamically efficient model ever built.

It is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine from the 812 Competizione with 828 hp (617 kW) and 514 lb-ft (697 Nm) of torque, mounted behind the passenger compartment. For faster gear changes, the engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in less than 3 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 km / h).

In the construction of the Daytona SP3, lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar were used. It is equipped with a new induction and exhaust system, vertical bars at the rear that extend the entire length. There’s also a rear spoiler under which the rear lights are fitted, as well as exhaust pipe ends that give the car a more aggressive look.

The design of the car was inspired by racing models from the 60s: 330P3 / 4, 330P4 and 412P, thus joining the Monza SP1 and SP2 models. It is equipped with specially made Pirelli tires for wet and dry roads.

This will be a limited production model, and Ferrari has not announced how many units will be produced or at what price.
