Heavy does not always mean slow. Ferrari’s Purosangue already proved that point when the company launched the V12-powered crossover, and the numbers still look serious today. The Italian machine reaches 62 mph, or 100 kph, in 3.3 seconds, while top speed climbs to 217 mph, equal to 350 kph. Even older Ferrari supercars struggle against figures like those.
Unlike several rivals from the luxury-performance SUV world, the Purosangue keeps things old-school under the hood. Aston Martin DBX and Lamborghini Urus buyers receive V8 engines. Ferrari went another direction. A naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 sits up front, producing 715 horsepower, listed as 725 ps and 533 kW, together with 528 pound-feet, or 716 Nm, of torque. No forced induction joins the package. Electric assistance stays absent, too.
Three years have passed since the Purosangue entered production in Maranello, Italy, and aftermarket companies quickly moved toward the model. Some projects pushed the design too far. Others focused on outright power. Novitec took a cleaner route with its Esteso conversion, recently shown online in blue paint combined with glossy black details.
At first glance, the changes appear restrained. Then your eyes settle on the lower body. Carbon-fiber add-ons surround the exterior, the side skirts stretch lower, and the wheel arches gain extra width. Nothing looks random. Even the lowered suspension changes the entire stance of the vehicle, making the Ferrari sit closer to the road surface without turning the crossover into a caricature.
The wheel setup avoids flashy colors. Instead, Novitec partnered with Vossen for a silver-finished NF10 design using a V-spoke layout. Bridgestone tires wrap around the rims, while orange brake calipers remain visible behind them. Short pause here, because this detail matters more than expected. The bright calipers break up the otherwise dark presentation of the vehicle.
Novitec also revised the exhaust system. According to the source material, the updated hardware lets the V12 breathe more freely and changes the soundtrack at the same time. Ferrari owners tend to notice sound before acceleration data anyway, especially when twelve cylinders continue working without turbochargers.
And honestly, the Purosangue still carries plenty of visual weight. A slimmer body kit would not suddenly turn the Ferrari into a lightweight coupe. Yet this conversion trims away some of the visual bulk surrounding the factory version, while keeping the original identity intact. That balance often disappears in the tuning world.
