The Ferrari Purosangue occupies genuinely new territory in Maranello's catalogue. Unveiled on 13 September 2022, it is Ferrari's first four-door, four-seat production car, yet it carries the naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 that has defined the firm's front-engined GT line. The name itself, Italian for 'thoroughbred', signals Ferrari's intent to position the car firmly within its sporting bloodline rather than as a concession to the SUV market.
A V12 Where Others Use Eight Cylinders
Under the long bonnet sits Ferrari's naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 725 hp at 7,750 rpm and 716 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm, paired with a rear-mounted transaxle for near-ideal weight distribution. The result is a 0–100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed exceeding 310 km/h. As electrification accelerates across the segment, a naturally aspirated V12 in a four-door shell is an engineering choice unlikely to be repeated — the 2022 specification is already a fixed point in Ferrari's history.
Blu Corsa and the B-Pillar-Free Body
Ferrari listed Blu Corsa — a deep, vivid blue — as a standard configurator option for the Purosangue from the 2022 model year. The colour sits at the opposite end of the palette from Rosso Corsa and tends to attract collectors who favour the less common variants. Visually, it flatters the Purosangue's most distinctive feature: the rear-hinged, B-pillar-free back doors, a configuration Ferrari had never used on a production four-door car before.
Polistil Die-Cast in 1:18
This 1:18 scale model is produced by Polistil, an Italian brand with roots in the 1960s that has been relaunched with a focus on contemporary Italian road cars. The choice of die-cast construction gives the model the weight and solidity expected at this scale, and Polistil's decision to reproduce the Purosangue in 1:18 makes it one of the first 1:18 scale model cars to capture Ferrari's four-door format. The Blu Corsa finish replicates a factory colour option, distinguishing this variant from the more widely seen red examples.
Placing It in the Cabinet
The Purosangue in Blu Corsa makes a commanding presence in any display cabinet. Its deep Blu Corsa finish, B-pillar-free rear doors and long bonnet line give the model a distinctive silhouette that reads immediately as something new in Ferrari's history, standing out both by colour and by form.
