Ferrari NV said its upcoming Purosangue SUV will feature a V12 combustion engine, offering respite to sport-car fans addicted to engine roar in a rapidly electrifying vehicle world.

The Italian super-car maker weighed a number of options “but it was clear that the right solution was a V12 engine,” Chief Executive Officer Benedetto Vigna said Wednesday. He didn’t detail plans to offer electrified versions in future.
