2023 Ferrari Purosangue comes with a V12 engine

A few days ago, Ferrari announced on its twitter profile the arrival of a new model that will be powered by a V12 engine. According to some rumors, the new Ferrari with a V12 engine should debut this summer, and Ferrari is calling it a “game-changer.” It is assumed that it is the Purosangue, Ferrari’s first SUV model, after which nothing will be the same.

The car has been announced as “Heart Of A Thoroughbred,” and it’s a clear link to Purosangue. The video posted on twitter doesn’t reveal much. Only details of the V12 engine with the manufacturer’s name clearly imprinted can be seen.

The car was announced as a surprise, born without compromises. Rumor has it that Ferrari’s first SUV will be a plug-in hybrid powered by a 3.0-liter turbo V6 engine with 654 hp (488 kW) and an electric motor with 164 hp (123 kW), for a total of 818 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb -ft 740 Nm) of torque. Some even mention a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Now it is almost certain that the top performance will have a V12. Good job Ferrari!

Lamborghini will not give up on its V12 engine

As it seems, Lamborghini will definitely not give up on its V12 engine, as the arrival of the successor to the Lamborghini Anentador has been announced for 2023. After the LP 780-4 ULTIMAE, the new supersport model from Lamborghini will be the first model in the history of the brand with a V12 engine assisted by electrification.

The V12 engine has been completely redesigned, confirmed Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini Cars S.p.A.

“The technology is different, it’s a whole new engine, a whole new drive, a new battery, everything is brand new,” Stephan Winkelmann said.

The more expressive design is based on Sian FKP or Essenza SCV12. The distinctive body shape will be retained as well as the doors that open upwards, while aerodynamic elements such as the large wing and rear diffuser will be even more emphasized.

Lamborghini is planned to produce hybrid versions of all its models by 2024, while the all-electric Lamborghini has been announced by the end of the decade.
