McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Ferrari USA Reveals 10 Bespoke Purosangues with American Grand Tour Atelier Collection

Ferrari USA has built 10 one-off versions of its four-door Purosangue exclusively for the United States, a move that underlines how central American demand has become to one of the Italian marque’s most profitable verticals: personalization. The American Grand Tour Atelier Collection comprises 10 cars, each finished in a unique specification themed on a US landscape, from desert dunes to coastal cliffs to mountain forest. "The Sands" pairs Blu Genziana Storico with Sabbia leather for pale desert dunes. "The Coast" reads ocean and weathered cliff through Blu Cangiante and Terra Antica hides. "The Mountains," "The Great Plains," and "The Forests" work through glacial greens and earthy bronzes. The second half shifts from landscapes to roads and adopts a more overtly American palette. "Overlook," "Straightaway," "Byway," "Mountainpass," and "Switchback" run through Rosso California, Blu NART, and Blu America finishes, with red, white, and blue recurring across the final five. <- Gallery -> The United States, of course, is Ferrari's single largest market, taking roughly one in four cars the company sells and generating 28 percent of its net revenue in 2025. Maranello has increasingly leaned on bespoke commissions to lift margins without raising volumes, a "fewer cars, more profit" approach evident across its recent reporting, from strong Q4 and full-year 2025 results to rising revenues and profits in Q2 2026, where operating profit climbed even as shipments stayed nearly flat. Nearly 75 years of V12 grand tourers have answered the American road. The 250 GT California Spider was conceived in the late 1950s for American clients, at the urging of US importers Luigi Chinetti and John von Neumann. Chinetti's North American Racing Team gave its name to the rare 275 GTB/4S NART Spider, of which only 10 were built. The 365 GTB/4 became known as the "Daytona" after Ferrari's 1-2-3 sweep of the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona, a name Ferrari revived again with the Daytona SP3 from Ferrari’s Icona Series. Every car in this collection retains the Purosangue's naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, which puts out 715 horsepower, one of the last 12-cylinder engines on sale in any segment as rivals move to hybrids and downsized turbo units. While pricing has not been disclosed, the standard Purosangue starts at just over $390,000, but bespoke Atelier cars carry substantial premiums, and used examples already trade well above list, with market data showing a duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value of $587,445.

Ferrari Purosangue vs Lamborghini Urus: Which Italian Sup...

Two Italian SUVs with supercar hearts duke it out. Relatively new in the automotive industry, the concept of the luxury performance SUV has not only become quite popular among enthusiasts and collectors, but it has also been taken to what seems to be the absolute extreme. Manufacturers known for their high-performance luxury cars and supercars have revealed new SUV models, which combine high performance and driving thrill with the comfort, practicality, and everyday enjoyment of a luxury SUV. The list of manufacturers that create these desirable “Super SUVs” are two of Italy’s premier supercar makers: Ferrari and Lamborghini. Lamborghini unveiled its SUV first: the Urus, which arrived for the 2018 model year, after its concept version from 2012 enjoyed positive reception. After rumors swirled for years about a possible Ferrari SUV, the Prancing Horse finally revealed the Ferrari Purosangue in 2022. According to Ferrari, the Purosangue is, rather than an SUV, the manufacturer’s first “four-door four-seater.” Both vehicles combine supercar-level performance and style with luxury, practicality, and comfort, but which one is better? Keep reading, and you’ll find out how the Ferrari Purosangue and the Lamborghini Urus stack up next to each other. View All Ferrari Purosangue For Sale View All Lamborghini Urus For Sale Ferrari Purosangue Specs While the Ferrari Purosangue is the first of its kind within Ferrari’s lineup, the manufacturer ensured that it would stay true to Ferrari’s roots, and imbued it with thrilling dynamics and robust performance, including four-wheel steering, and a 49:51 weight distribution. Lamborghini Urus Specs Lamborghini’s most popular model, the Urus, now facelifted as the Urus S since 2023, boasts brash performance, as well as the ability to off-road (within reason). In addition to the Urus S, Lamborghini has also introduced the Urus Performante, which broke a record at Pikes Peak before being introduced, and the Urus SE, the plug-in hybrid version of the Urus, which is also the most powerful version yet. Regarding the specs, the Lamborghini Urus emerges victorious thanks to its versatility, hybrid innovation, and multiple variants. Specs Winner: Lamborghini Urus Ferrari Purosangue Engine The Ferrari Purosangue, despite being different than any Ferrari that came before it, has one special detail that cements it as a genuine Ferrari and sets it apart from the rest of the world’s Super SUVs: a V12 engine. With its naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Ferrari Purosangue boasts 715 horsepower and 528 lb/ft of torque. Lamborghini Urus Engine The Lamborghini Urus employs the use of a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine in all its variants. In the Urus S, it has 656 horsepower, in the Urus Performante, it has 666 horsepower, and in the range-topping Urus SE it has 789 horsepower thanks to its plug-in hybrid assist. With impressive power as well as its commitment to purist performance, the Ferrari Purosangue boasts the superior engine. Engine Winner: Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue Interior The Ferrari Purosangue is the first Ferrari to feature both four seats and four doors, and it made sure to make that clear. The rear doors open coach-style, and they are also power operated, greeting passengers to two luxurious, fully-adjustable rear seats with luxurious accommodations, offering a comfortable and thrilling performance experience for everyone. Lamborghini Urus Interior The interior of the Lamborghini Urus boasts Lamborghini’s signature blend of edgy design and luxury, pairing luxurious materials with racing-inspired carbon fiber and high-tech features throughout. The Ferrari Purosangue wins the interior category thanks to its special rear-seat accommodations and elegant Ferrari design. Interior Winner: Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue Performance Thanks to its V12 engine, the Ferrari Purosangue manages to get to 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds, rocketing to a top speed of 193 mph. It’s also a thrilling car to take through corners, as well, with its all-wheel steering, all-wheel drive, and supercar-level weight distribution of 49:51. Lamborghini Urus Performance With its 789 horsepower and 700 lb/ft of torque, the most powerful Lamborghini Urus, the hybrid Lamborghini Urus SE, gets from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 194 mph. However, the lighter, more performance-focused Performante gets from 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, and the Urus S takes 3.1 seconds to get to that speed. The Ferrari Purosangue shines with its V12 engine, high performance, and impressive dynamics. While the Lamborghini Urus boasts better versatility and off-road capability with a hybrid, performance, and a standard variant, the Purosangue is the superior performance vehicle. Performance Winner: Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue Investment Value Ferraris are known for their exclusivity and collector’s item potential, and despite being unlike other Ferraris in its body style, the Purosangue is no exception in this regard. Ferrari hasn’t announced a specifically limited production number for the Purosangue, but the Purosangue has proven a highly exclusive vehicle, with demand for examples on the second-hand market reaching incredible heights with lofty price tags. Lamborghini Urus Investment Value Thanks to it being the most popular model in Lamborghini’s lineup, with supercar performance as well as comfort and practicality, the Lamborghini Urus carries considerable value on the second-hand market.

Mansory Unveils New "Pugnator" Custom Ferrari Purosangue

Mansory transforms the Ferrari Purosangue. Ferrari entered a new era when it introduced the “FUV,” the brand’s first four-door four-seater, the Purosangue. With its V12 engine, luxurious accommodations, coach-style rear doors, and more practicality than a Ferrari has ever seen before, the Purosangue is not just a unique creation among Ferrari’s lineup, but it’s also a different approach to luxury super SUVs as a whole. Mansory, known for its radical customizations of the world’s most exclusive and desirable cars, has finally gotten its hands on the Purosangue and has debuted a new complete vehicle conversion based on the iconic Ferrari Purosangue, which it calls the Pugnator. With Mansory’s signature over-the-top style and Ferrari’s automotive excellence combined, the Mansory Pugnator is one of the most exclusive super SUVs with an undeniable head-turning factor. In keeping with Ferrari’s affinity for red, the Pugnator's special paint finish is “Vermillion.” It’s paired with loads of red-tinted carbon fiber bodywork, ranging from widened fenders to extra vents, a prominent rear wing, a carbon fiber hood, and revised front and rear fascias. In addition, Mansory gave the Pugnator a custom set of wheels, newly designed and measuring 22 and 23 inches. Mansory didn’t stop there, completely customizing the interior of the Ferrari Purosangue to create the Pugnator, as well. Shown in white, Mansory offers complete freedom in customization, using luxurious materials and techniques like exposed carbon fiber, fine leather, contrast stitching, quilting, and more. To complete the conversion from Purosangue to Pugnator, Mansory made the Ferrari truly its own by improving its performance. Enhancing the capabilities of its 6.5-liter V12 engine, Mansory gave the Pugnator a new 4-flow sports exhaust system with flap control, bringing the total power to 755 hp and 538 lb/ft, which improves on the standard Purosangue by 40 horsepower. If you’re looking for a super SUV that reaches the highest levels of exclusivity and eye-catching design in the automotive industry today, the Mansory Pugnator, a new complete conversion of the Ferrari Purosangue, might be the “FUV” for you.

Ferrari Purosangue Price, Specs, Photos & Review

This is Ferrari like it always has been, and like you’ve never seen it before. There’s no denying the recent trend in the automotive world of brands that previously made luxury sports cars now foraying into luxury performance SUVs. While we can trace the origins of this trend back decades, the current wave of more recent players in the category proves that now is a better time than ever to get in the luxury performance SUV segment with what some of the best ones are capable of. For many, what results is the ultimate car, with incredible on-road performance, off-road capability, and everyday practicality, luxury, and usability that no sports car could even dream to match. Ferrari, one of the world’s most timeless and exclusive automotive brands in the world, has finally offered its answer to the highly competitive luxury performance SUV segment: the Purosangue. While Ferrari’s first SUV might seem like a radical change for the brand, Ferrari made sure to make it one of its own cars through and through, and made sure that the unforgettable and irreplaceable driving experience would be worth the wait and the Ferrari Purosangue price. It’s finally time to experience the same Ferrari brand, but this time, on an entirely new frontier. Ferrari Purosangue Price The price of the new Ferrari SUV is just under $400,000. It is, of course, quite an expensive and exclusive vehicle, as all Ferraris are. However, the demand for the new Purosangue in particular has caused examples on the second-hand market to carry a significant premium, sometimes reaching above $800,000 and even $900,000 in price. The amount of innovation, luxury, style, and craftsmanship involved in the new Ferrari Purosangue comes at quite the price. Ferrari Purosangue Review For many, there’s a fear that the Purosangue is a car that is different from Ferrari’s typical offerings. However, Ferrari has preserved its DNA in the Purosangue with its incredible performance. It features a weight distribution that is enviable by even the most dynamic sports cars at 49:51%. In addition, the car does something that even luxury performance SUVs and cars in general rarely do: include a V12 engine. The naturally-aspirated V12 engine in the new Purosangue makes it a true Ferrari, and a member of a dying breed even in the world of supercars and high-performance sports cars, let alone SUVs. Other innovations like the carbon fiber roof of the Purosangue make it a vehicle that takes the idea of blending the performance car and the SUV very seriously in a way that only Ferrari can. Ferrari Purosangue Specs The Ferrari Purosangue's horsepower is a massive 715, coming from its naturally aspirated V12 engine, and on top of that, it boasts 528 lb/ft of torque. With an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Ferrari Purosangue is able to rival some of the world’s best performance cars even as an SUV, including an incredible 0-60 time under 3.3 seconds. Ferrari Purosangue Specs Price: $400,000 Engine: 6.5-liter V12 Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch automatic Horsepower: 715 hp Torque: 528 lb/ft 0-60 mph: 3.3 s 1/4 mile: 11.7 s Top Speed: 193 mph Ferrari Purosangue Engine The V12 in the Ferrari Purosangue is one of the most important aspects of the car. In a world that is becoming more environmentally conscious than ever, the V12 engine is quickly disappearing from the automotive world, and it affects brands like Ferrari the most. Because of that, many thought that the Ferrari Purosangue would be powered by a smaller engine like a V8 or even a V6 like the Purosangue’s 296 GTB Prancing Horse stablemate. However, Ferrari stayed true to its most important roots in including the V12, and its high power output is true to Ferrari’s ethos, as well. Ferrari Purosangue Transmission The 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission in the Ferrari Purosangue is able to shift much faster than its 7-speed predecessor, and it is an integral part of what makes the Ferrari Purosangue such an incredible performer. The transmission is optimized not only to deliver incredible performance but also smooth driving, and the perfect sound experience of the increasingly unique V12 engine. Ferrari Purosangue Interior The interior of the Ferrari Purosangue is unique because the launch of the Purosangue marks Ferrari’s very first four-door car. While Ferrari has had 2+2 models with rear seats for decades, the reveal of the Ferrari Prusoangue is that of the first Ferrari with four doors. Also, the SUV driving experience meant that Ferrari had to add different features and capabilities to the interior of the car. Optionally, owners can choose to have their Purosangue equipped with an electrochromic glass roof rather than the standard carbon fiber, and the Purosangue is also the first Ferrari to be compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Purosangue offers a luxury driving experience that combines SUV luxury with Ferrari performance. Ferrari Purosangue Standout Features Of course, having a Ferrari with four doors makes it a standout feature among its Cavallino Rampante counterparts, but even among other SUVs, the doors themselves are a standout feature, because they are coach-style doors. The unique backward opening direction of the rear doors makes for a presence that is unmistakable and visually interesting as if the Ferrari Purosangue didn't stand out from the crowd enough. Also, the new Purosangue features lots of innovation and technology derived from its fellow high-performance Ferraris, like wheels inspired by the SF90 Stradale and dynamics systems originally used on the Ferrari 296 GTB. The four-wheel drive system uses technology from the GTC4Lusso and SF90 Stradale, and the Purosangue's four-wheel steering system is derived from the 812 Competizione. Four individually-adjustable seats, large displays for both driver and front passenger, and a sound system from Burmester dial up the Purosangue's luxury factor, and the front seats even boast a massage function, making for one of if not the most luxurious offering from Ferrari yet. Is the Ferrari Purosangue an SUV? According to Ferrari, it technically isn't. Despite its body style mirroring many of the luxury performance SUVs on the market, Ferrari has yet to call the Purosangue an "SUV," instead referring to it as the brand's first "four-door four-seater." Despite this, the "FUV" is still radically different from anything Ferrari has done before, and although it's meant for the road like other Prancing Horse cars, its rear seats and cargo capacity make it a Ferrari that's more enjoyable and practical for everyone inside. Is the Ferrari Purosangue electric? The Ferrari Purosangue is not electric, or even hybrid, which may surprise some considering the trend that many automotive manufacturers are following with their latest performance-oriented offerings. In fact, the Ferrari Purosangue is powered by a V12 engine, which is naturally aspirated, making it a unique luxury performance vehicle that is part of a dying breed. Is the Ferrari Purosangue rare? The Ferrari Purosangue isn't a limited edition model, but the manufacturer has promised that production would be restricted for the Purosangue, so it will certainly be much rarer than its luxury performance SUV peers.

Ferrari of San Antonio Shows Off A New Green Over Tan Pur...

The new Ferrari Purosangue looks great in green. Ferrari did something unprecedented for its brand when it unveiled the Purosangue, with the silhouette of an SUV, added practicality compared to any other Ferrari before it, and the status of being Ferrari’s very first “four-door four-seater.” Its fully-adjustable rear seats, power-operating coach-style rear doors, and of course its V12 engine distinguish it from other Ferraris and luxury performance SUVs as something unique, exclusive, and powerful. Showcased at Ferrari of San Antonio, a stunning Ferrari Purosangue is finished in Verde Zeltweg, a rich, dark green shade with a tan interior. The configuration is a modern and timelessly elegant interpretation of the classic British green-over-tan color scheme, and the look fits perfectly with the Purosangue’s elegant sports car-like proportions. Despite having four doors and luxurious seating for four, Ferrari created the Purosangue with the driving character and thrill of Ferrari’s other supercars in mind. With its long hood concealing a brawny V12 engine, and wide stance, it’s a Ferrari supercar like any other, but with added practicality and luxury for four, which looks especially elegant in a green-over-tan configuration.

Watch Jay Leno Drive The New 715HP Ferrari Purosangue 'FU...

While the first-ever Ferrari SUV has made a monumental impact on the automotive market, the Purosangue still remains a unicorn, as only a handful of examples have landed on U.S. soil for high-profile clients. Among the lucky few to have taken delivery, the list of Ferrari Purosangue owners includes celebrities like soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 driver Charles Leclerc. The next car-crazy celeb to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Ferrari Purosangue is Jay Leno, who featured the four-door Italian super SUV on the newest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. The test mule for the first drive is none other than Ferrari Brand Ambassador and Ferrari fanatic David Lee, who owns a stable of Ferraris that includes The Big Five (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari) in both red and yellow. Having been one of the first owners to receive a Purosangue in the United States, the Los Angeles-based collector took his Giallo Modena spec down to Jay's garage for a full walkaround on Ferrari's revolutionary new model. The 'FUV' shies away from the traditional motorsport approach that Enzo focused on for decades, tapping into a new market of buyers who want to daily drive a fun and practical Ferrari. Its entry into the luxury SUV market proved to be a monumental strategy as both Jay and David discuss the immediate sell-out of all 1,000 units for 2024. At a base price of around $400K, the two agree that it's a hefty price to pay, but it will ultimately pay off as recent Ferrari values continue to skyrocket as investments amongst supercar and hypercar collectors continue to skyrocket After a full exterior and interior of the Purosangue and its extra $150K options, Jay and David take it out on the open road to see if Ferrari's SUV drives as well as it looks. Delivering over 715 horsepower and 528 lb-ft of torque to a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, the Purosangue embodies Ferrari's authentic DNA through a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 mounted at the front. And with rumors of a possible swap to a twin-turbocharged V8 or hybrid-assisted powertrain in the near future, Ferrari's first batch of V12-powered Purosangues will surely hold their value as future collector-grade cars. Judging by the smiles as the FUV climbs through gears, making all the right noises from its exhaust, it's clear that the Ferrari Purosangue gets the stamp of approval from Jay Leno's Garage.
