Dirty Ferrari Purosangue images emerge after off-road testing

Get your head out of the gutter, these aren’t those kinds of dirty Ferrari Purosangue images but the soon to be SUV from the prancing horse has recently taken to off-roading in a process that is probably novel to test drivers from Maranello.

Going where no Ferrari should have ever gone before.

While the thought of a Ferrari SUV (if it existed when he was alive) would have Enzo now turning in his grave, it is the sure way to boost sales of high performance brands and enable them to continue producing ludicrous sports cars that only a select few get the privilege of owning. Look at Lamborghini and its record sale of 8 405 cars throughout 2021, 60% of which is compliments of the Urus SUV.

Not too shabby for a fat Ferrari.

Like it or not, the Purosangue which ironically means Pure-blood in Italian, is expected to be launched this year and a latest spy video from Varryx on YouTube has displayed a test mule in a filthy Maserati Levante skin. This probably means that Ferrari were confident enough this time around to put their new pony through its paces on some Italian pastures, we are just not sure why it was dressed up in attire from its Trident-adorned sibling.

Spy shots, dirty Ferrari Purosangue images and test mule snippets are all we have to go with for now but some unofficial digital concepts have circulated around the web with the most attentive project by 2NCS debuting a few days ago.

While aesthetics of the new direction of the upcoming nameplate remain secretive, so is what lies beneath the surface. While the sonorous Ferrari V12 would always provide a pleasant powertrain, a much quieter prototype has been spotted in the world with testing which could suggest that the plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V6 from the 296 GTB could be employed in the SUV. While it may lack in the sound department, it still comes with a 610 kW and 740 N.m kick which could kick the dust up on any dirt path it encountered.

The 610 kW and 740 N.m twin-turbo V6 from the 296 GTB could feature in the new model.

We are a mere few months away from the official debut of the Purosangue and can expect more and more spy shots of the novel model from Maranello.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
