As disappointing as it may be for most car
enthusiasts to hear, Ferrari has confirmed that it will launch an SUV early in
the next decade. The model will be dubbed the Purosangue and, in all probability, be a
hybrid. We also know that it will be fast. After all, it’s a Ferrari.
The automaker will be under serious pressure to
ensure its SUV is sexy and fitting of a Ferrari badge. It’s unclear what
styling direction the company will take, but Instagrammer ildar_project has
come up with their own idea of how it might look.
This single rendering depicts the Ferrari Purosangue
from the rear. Obvious styling elements borrowed from the rest of the Ferrari
range include the circular taillights and a license plate cutout similar in
shape to the air vent found in the center of the 488’s rear fascia.
Alongside these eye-catching elements, the Italian
SUV rendering includes a roof-spoiler, shark fin, and a triangular fuel filler
cap. Other key parts include a color-matched rear diffuser, quad tailpipes, and
aggressive lines running diagonally across the doors.
We’re not exactly thrilled about Ferrari venturing
into the world of SUVs, but everyone (bar McLaren, for now) have gotten into it
because they simply can’t ignore such a lucrative market niche. Arch rival
Lamborghini has managed to make its own entry, the Urus, look as close to a
Lambo as an SUV could. Here’s hopping that the folks at Maranello manage to
pull the same trick.
