Ferrari Purosangue

FERRARI HAS FINALLY done what all its rivals already have and given us an SUV. Well, sort of. It doesn't like using those three letters to describe the new Ferrari Purosangue, arguing that it's different from, say, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and that at heart it's still a sports car.

The Purosangue - unlike the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus and Porsche Cayenne - isn't built on underpinnings shared with other, more humdrum models. The Purosangue sits lower to the ground than all its rivals, too. With a huge engine in the front and only four seats inside, this is - if you like - a more practical and habitable variant of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso - a two-door estate.

As is typical in the class, there's one trim level and a huge number of options available for buyers to add to the Purosangue's already lofty £313,120 list price a similarly mountainous pile of cash to that which Cullinan buyers must fork out.
