2023 Ferrari Purosangue debuts on September 13th

The day is approaching when the Maranello-based company will unveil its first SUV, the 2023 Ferrari Purosangue. So far, several photos have been published showing the design of the car, which the company claims will be a limited edition.

For a long time, Ferrari resisted the creation of an SUV model, but since the demand for SUVs was expanding, and the competition was increasing, the decision was made. With its first SUV, Ferrari strives, in an efficient way, to attract first-time buyers, but also younger ones. Recently, we saw the first photos showing what Purosangue should look like. The darkened image of the upcoming SUV shows that the front grille is located low in the bumper with a prancing horse located in its central part, large air intakes on the sides and thin front daytime running lights.

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.

When it comes to the powertrain, rumors said that it 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. However, it is now certain that the Ferrari Purosangue will be powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine. Good job Ferrari!

Ferrari Purosangue will have its world premiere on September 13.

Manhart TR 750 based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S

The German tuner Manhart revealed its new work, the Manhart TR 750. The car is based on one of the most powerful models from the Stuttgart company, but also one of the fastest production cars in the world, the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Manhart prepared a special equipment kit for this model, which brings H&R springs that bring the car closer to the ground by an additional 30 mm, MANHART decal set, 200 cell downpipes and a full exhaust from Kline innovation to enhance the sound track of the powerful sports car.

The basic Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the software remap, the TR 750 has 100 hp more than the base model, so it now counts up to 750 hp. That’s 50 hp more than the 911 GT2 RS, which is powered by the same engine with 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (PDK) that transmits power to both axles.

Manhart hasn’t released performance data for the tuned TR 750, but we expect nothing less than what the Porsche 911 Turbo S can do, 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h.

Many Porsche models are already in the process of partial or full electrification, but only the legendary 911 manages to resist. According to Autocar, the new Panamera will be fully electric and will be slightly larger than its predecessor. It will be built on the SSP platform that will be used on future models.

For 2027, Porsche has announced a new generation of Taycan, and the Panamera should find its place above it. According to Autocar, the Stuttgart-based company is currently working on more advanced 800 V battery technology with higher energy density, which will definitely affect the car’s range. Currently, the Taycan has a range of 318 miles (WLTP) on a fully charged battery.

Porsche’s long-term goals are that by 2030, 80 percent of all cars sold will be electric models. Thus, for 2024, Porsche announced the arrival of the fully electric Macan as well as the 718 Cayman.
