Ferrari is reportedly developing a sharper, more powerful version of the Purosangue SUV with improved handling.
Ferrari is working on a new, more performance-focused version of its Ferrari Purosangue. The updated model is expected to deliver sharper handling and improved overall driving dynamics compared with the current version.
The refreshed variant is expected to arrive a little more than three years after the Purosangue first entered the market. The goal is to keep the model fresh while adding technical upgrades aimed at boosting performance and driver engagement.
Under the hood, the SUV is likely to retain its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, one of the defining features of the vehicle. It remains unclear whether the power output will increase, but engineers are reportedly focusing on improving chassis tuning and road behavior. Production of the upgraded version could begin as early as fall, at Ferrari’s manufacturing facility in Maranello, as part of the brand’s upcoming 2026 model lineup.
Most of the changes are expected to target handling improvements. The approach may be similar to the Assetto Fiorano package offered on models such as the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Ferrari 296 GTB. That package typically includes revised chassis tuning, weight reduction, and other engineering tweaks designed to sharpen the car’s driving dynamics.
Keeping the Purosangue powered by a traditional combustion engine also highlights the continued demand for high-performance gasoline powertrains. At the same time, Ferrari is continuing to expand its lineup of hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
Launching a more powerful version would allow Ferrari to refresh one of its most important models while introducing a higher-priced variant without dramatically increasing production numbers.
The Purosangue holds a special place in Ferrari’s history. It is the brand’s first production model with four doors and four full seats. Ferrari prefers to describe it as a “Ferrari Utility Vehicle” rather than an SUV. The model debuted in September 2022 with a starting price of roughly $520,000, helping the company reach new customers and raise the average transaction price of its cars.
Last year, Ferrari produced nearly 14,000 vehicles worldwide. The company could build more, but it deliberately limits output to maintain exclusivity. The Purosangue is expected to account for about 20% of Ferrari’s total annual production, making it one of the most important models in the lineup.
