Ferrari Purosangue

The Ferrari Purosangue is the first four-door Ferrari ever built, and it keeps the one thing that matters most. Under the long bonnet sits a 6.5 litre naturally-aspirated V12 producing 715 horsepower, mounted behind the front axle and driving all four wheels through an 8 speed dual-clutch gearbox. It reaches 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and runs on past 310 km/h, which makes it the rarest kind of school run and Sheikh Zayed Road cruiser in one car. The high-revving V12 soundtrack is the same engine family Ferrari puts in its front-engined GTs, so this never feels like an SUV pretending to be a Ferrari.

Inside there are four separate heated electric seats and a pair of rear coach doors that open backwards, which makes climbing in and out genuinely easy in a tight valet bay at DIFC or a townhouse on Palm Jumeirah. The cabin is built for two people up front and two adults in the back, not a crowd, so it suits a couple or a small family rather than a group night out in Dubai Marina. The 473 litre boot is the largest Ferrari has ever made and the rear seats fold for more, which covers airport runs and weekend bags for a drive out to Hatta. Active suspension and rear-wheel steering keep it composed on JBR speed bumps and stable when you open it up on an empty stretch of Al Qudra.

Buying one in the UAE means a long waiting list, a high six-figure outlay, and depreciation you carry alone, so renting is the sensible way to live with a Purosangue for a week or a season. It is the right choice for a family visit where you want a Ferrari that takes four people and luggage, or for anyone testing whether a V12 SUV earns a place in the garage before committing. We deliver it to your door in Business Bay, on the Palm, or wherever you are staying, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
