The Purosangue was launched earlier this month to position Ferrari into the exotic automaker’s lucrative performance SUV segment. The Prancing Horse utility will compete with the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX, and the like, although each of these models represents a slightly different super-SUV formula. Neither of them has a truck version, and we thought it would be fun to see what a more practical Purosangue would look like.
The render you see attached above is from X-Tomi a design from Hungary and depicts a two-door Purosangue truck. Or, to be more precise, we describe them as utes, which is a vehicle segment in Australia and New Zealand, where two-door trucks with a tonne behind the passenger compartment are called utes.

Needless to say, it’s pretty much impossible to see such a model on the production line at Maranello but we love the idea. The profile of the Purosangue seems to fit perfectly into the truck’s formula with its slanted windshield and short overhangs. To some extent, it even sends us a Hyundai Santa Cruz vibe, but this might just be us seeing a few similarities.

A decent ute should have a decent engine and there’s a naturally aspirated 6.5 liter V12 under the hood of the Purosangue truck. With 715 horsepower (526 kilowatts) and 528 pound-feet (716 Newton-meters) of torque, it could easily be the most powerful pickup ever made with an estimated 0-60 miles per hour (0-96 kilometers per hour) spring. in just 3.3 seconds. Of course, all these figures are just imaginative.
Even without a truck body available, the Purosangue already enjoys strong demand from customers. The Maranello-based automaker should even consider closing the order book because demand is too high. Rough estimates suggest that Ferrari plans to assemble around 3,000 units of the Purosangue annually and copies for the first year on the market could be sold out by now.
