Ferrari Purosangue: Four Doors, V12 Power and the Specs That Matter

Saudi Arabia: The Ferrari Purosangue takes a very different approach to the four-seat performance car. It is the first four-door, four-seater Ferrari in the brand's history, but its defining feature is still the engine under the bonnet: a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 725 cv. The numbers are equally serious. The Purosangue can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, reach a top speed of more than 310 km/h, and uses Ferrari's four-wheel-drive and active-suspension technologies to manage its performance.

Ferrari Purosangue engine and transmission

The Purosangue is powered by a 65-degree V12 engine with a dry-sump lubrication system. It has a displacement of 6,496 cc and uses a 94 mm bore with a 78 mm stroke. The naturally aspirated engine develops:

• Maximum power: 725 cv (715 hp) at 7,750 rpm
• Maximum torque: 716 Nm at 6,250 rpm
• Maximum engine speed: 8,250 rpm
• Compression ratio: 13.6:1
• Specific power output: 111 cv/l
• Transmission: 8-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission

The combination of a high-revving V12 and dual-clutch transmission gives the Purosangue the mechanical character expected from a Ferrari, while the four-wheel-drive system helps put that output onto the road.

Ferrari Purosangue Performance figures

Despite its four-seat configuration, the Purosangue's performance figures place it firmly in Ferrari territory.

Performance	Ferrari Purosangue
0–100 km/h	3.3 seconds
0–200 km/h	10.6 seconds
Top speed	Over 310 km/h
100–0 km/h braking	32.8 metres
200–0 km/h braking	129 metres

Size, weight and practicality

The Purosangue measures 4,973 mm long, 2,028 mm wide and 1,589 mm tall, with a 3,018 mm wheelbase.

Wheels, tyres and brakes

The Purosangue uses different wheel and tyre sizes front and rear.

• Front tyres: 255/35 R22 J9.0
• Rear tyres: 315/30 R23 J11.0

The braking hardware includes:

• Front brakes: 398 × 38 mm
• Rear brakes: 380 × 34 mm

The wider rear tyres and larger rear wheels complement the car's rear-biased weight distribution and four-wheel-drive system.

Ferrari's electronic and chassis technology

The Purosangue uses Ferrari's Side Slip Control (SSC) 8.0 system, which integrates several technologies designed to manage the car's performance. The system includes:

• 4RM-S evo four-wheel-drive system
• Ferrari Active Suspension Technology
• F1-Trac
• ABS 'EVO' with Grip Estimation 2.0
• ECS electronic control system

One of the key technologies is Ferrari's active suspension system, which works alongside the four-wheel-drive system and electronic controls to manage the car's behaviour. The 4RM-S evo system gives the Purosangue four-wheel drive, while F1-Trac and the ABS 'EVO' system contribute to traction and braking control. Together, these systems form a major part of the car's performance-focused chassis package.

Fuel consumption and emissions

The Purosangue has a WLTP combined fuel consumption figure of 17.3 l/100 km, with CO₂ emissions of 393 g/km. The supplied WLTP breakdown is:

WLTP cycle	Fuel consumption
Low	27.8 l/100 km
Medium	17.6 l/100 km
High	14.8 l/100 km
Extra high	14.7 l/100 km
Combined	17.3 l/100 km

These figures reflect the performance-oriented nature of a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12.

What makes the Purosangue different?

The Purosangue's biggest distinction is not simply its engine output or acceleration figure. It is the combination of four doors, four seats, and a naturally aspirated V12 in a Ferrari. It brings together:

• A 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12
• 725 cv and 716 Nm
• An 8-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission
• Four-wheel drive
• Ferrari Active Suspension Technology
• A 49:51 front/rear weight distribution
• Four seats
• 473 litres of boot capacity
• A top speed above 310 km/h

That combination gives the Purosangue its own place within the Ferrari range. Rather than relying solely on outright power, its specification combines the V12 engine with sophisticated chassis and electronic systems designed around high-performance driving.

Ferrari Purosangue verdict

The Ferrari Purosangue is defined by an unusual combination. It has the practicality of four doors and four seats, but underneath sits a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 capable of producing 725 cv and revving to 8,250 rpm. Its four-wheel drive, active suspension, Ferrari's SSC 8.0 system and a rear-biased 49:51 weight distribution provide the technical foundation. All this makes the Purosangue one of Ferrari's most distinctive combinations of performance and everyday usability for a car that can carry four occupants and offer 473 litres of boot space.
