The wait is finally over for India’s super-rich. Ferrari has officially brought its first-ever four-door, four-seater car to Indian roads. It is called the Ferrari Purosangue.

For decades, Ferrari said they would never build an SUV. But the market changed, and they answered with the Purosangue. However, Ferrari insists this is not an SUV—they call it a “Ferrari Utility Vehicle” or simply a sports car that happens to have four doors.

With a starting price of over ₹10.5 Crore, it is one of the most expensive cars currently on sale in India. Here is everything you need to know about this V12 beast, its features, and who owns the first one in India.

Price in India: How Much Does It Really Cost?

The Ferrari Purosangue is not just expensive; it is in a league of its own.

• Ex-Showroom Price: Approximately ₹10.5 Crore.
• On-Road Price: Depending on the state taxes and customization options (which can easily add crores), the final on-road price in cities like Mumbai or Bengaluru can cross ₹12 Crore.

To give you context, the popular Lamborghini Urus Performante costs around ₹4.22 Crore. This means you could buy two Lamborghinis for the price of one Purosangue.

Engine and Performance: The Heart of the Beast

Unlike many modern cars that use turbochargers or hybrid batteries, Ferrari has stuck to its roots. The Purosangue is powered by a massive, old-school engine.

• Engine: 6.5-Litre Naturally Aspirated V12.
• Power: 715 BHP (Brake Horsepower).
• Torque: 716 Nm.
• Top Speed: 310 km/h.
• 0 to 100 km/h: Just 3.3 seconds.

The engine is mounted in the front-mid position, which helps balance the car perfectly. Even though it is a heavy car (over 2,000 kg), it drives like a true sports car.

Key Features and Design

The Purosangue looks very different from a traditional boxy SUV. It is sleek, curvy, and low to the ground.

1. Suicide Doors (Welcome Doors)

The most talked-about feature is the rear doors. They open backwards (hinged at the rear), similar to a Rolls-Royce. This makes getting into the back seat very stylish and easy.

2. Four Seats Only

This car is strictly a 4-seater. There is no bench seat at the back. Instead, you get two individual sporty bucket seats that are heated and adjustable.

3. Ground Clearance

It offers a decent ground clearance of 180 mm, which can be raised slightly for speed bumps. This makes it practical for Indian roads compared to other Ferrari supercars like the 296 GTB.

4. Active Suspension Technology

Ferrari has used a special suspension system that prevents the car from rolling (leaning) in corners. This keeps the car flat and stable even when turning at high speeds.

First Delivery in India

The first Ferrari Purosangue in India was delivered in February 2024.

It was delivered to Boopesh Reddy, a famous businessman and car collector from Bengaluru (known as ‘Bren Garage’ on social media). His car is finished in a colour called ‘Nero Daytona’ (Black) with silver wheels.

Since then, a few more units have been delivered to top businessmen in Mumbai and Delhi, but the car remains extremely rare.

Ferrari Purosangue vs. The Competition

Who does the Purosangue fight against? Its main rivals are the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX707, and the Bentley Bentayga.

Price (Est)	₹10.5 Crore+	₹4.22 Crore	₹4.63 Crore

Why is the Ferrari so much more expensive?

You are paying for the brand exclusivity and the V12 engine. Ferrari has also limited the production (it will not exceed 20% of their total sales), making it harder to get than a Lamborghini.

What Happens Next?

If you want to buy one today, you might have to wait a long time. Ferrari actually paused orders globally because the demand was too high. For Indian buyers, the waiting period can stretch over 18 to 24 months.

Ferrari is also likely to keep the V12 engine for a few more years before emission rules force them to switch to hybrid or electric engines for this model.
