Ferrari unveiled its first-ever SUV on Tuesday: the Purosangue.
Its 715-horsepower V12 engine sends it to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds, Ferrari says.

Ferrari is known for its low-slung, exotic sports cars. But its latest model rejects that mold for something a bit bigger and more capable.

And Ferrari won't even call it an SUV, instead referring to it as "a versatile car that melds unparalleled comfort with Ferrari's signature performance and driving pleasure."

To Ferrari's credit, the Purosangue certainly looks unlike anything else on the road.

With a pointy, stretched-out front end and a hatch in the rear, the Purosangue resembles a mashup between a sports car and a small SUV.

According to Ferrari, it will hit 124 mph in 10.6 seconds on its way to a top speed north of 193 mph.

The Purosangue will come with all-wheel drive to bring extra capability.

It comes standard with a carbon-fiber roof, which Ferrari says reduces overall weight and lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, helping with driving dynamics.

The Purosangue will go on sale next year and will compete with other high-end SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX, and Porsche Cayenne.
