“The Graveyard” of Supercars: A Ferrari Purosangue Joins the Rest in the Middle East

Dubai is not just a haven for supercar showrooms, but also a place where the world’s billionaires can build their dream car collections. However, what’s even more intriguing and unusual is the presence of several supercar “graveyards” in the country.

Any crashed cars end up in these graveyards, never to be seen again. This has led to much regret, as in many other places, a crashed supercar that hasn’t burned to a crisp still has a chance to be restored and drive on the roads once more.

Recently, a Ferrari Purosangue, a super SUV, was spotted in a yard full of crashed cars. Interestingly, the exterior didn’t seem too badly damaged, and the interior only had its airbags deployed. Still, its fate seemed sealed, just like the other severely damaged supercars, leaving many to mourn the loss.

It’s hard to tell the original color of the Ferrari Purosangue due to the thick layer of dust covering it, and it sits in a vast yard, protected only by a single tarpaulin. The interior is also dusty and filled with broken pieces from the accident, with all airbags deployed except for the steering wheel’s.

The Ferrari Purosangue is an intriguing high-riding supercar with no direct competitors in terms of power, price, and sales strategy, as Ferrari doesn’t chase volume to maintain exclusivity.

Being dubbed a “super SUV,” Ferrari has intentionally set the Purosangue apart from any other car on the market. It’s also the only car in its class from brands like Aston Martin or Lamborghini to be equipped with a V12 engine—a monster in the world of high-performance automobiles. Additionally, with a price tag starting at $398,350, it’s almost double the cost of competitors like the Lamborghini Urus S or Aston Martin DBX 707.

One of the most impressive features of the Ferrari Purosangue is its spacious cabin, comfortably seating four adults, along with its generous cargo space. Another unique touch is the reverse-opening doors, which Ferrari has equipped for the first time in one of its models. This not only makes ingress and egress easier for rear passengers but also adds a distinct character to the Purosangue.

For a price starting at $398,350, owners will get something that no SUV from Lamborghini or Aston Martin can offer: a legendary naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, the very definition of a Ferrari for any enthusiast.

This engine produces a whopping 715 horsepower and 715 Nm of torque. Combined with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, the Ferrari Purosangue can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of over 310 km/h.
