    The more I see of the red render the more I like it, I know that’s an unpopular opinion but I’d much rather have that red render than the Urus, Cullinan, or Bentayga.

    You can see from Raffaele di Simone's social media that he's currently up North. So he is probably amongst those testing the car. He has posted at least one picture of a dashboard indicating a hybrid drivetrain. Interestingly the mule pictured is on Swedish dealer plates. They have been used by FCA previously: https://www.carscoops.com/2016/12/facelifted-fiat-500l-spotted-testing-in/#lg=1&slide=2

    Reasonable to believe the AWD will be emotor based
    v12 plus emotors would provide another 1000 hp vehicle from the brand

    Concerning the back doors the only thing I know is what I read in the article of Fabio Sciara I posted on post #2623."Purosangue should only have a four-seat configuration (and original solutions for opening the rear doors are not excluded …)"
    The two renders which are based on the leaked photos show what appears to be a B pillar but that's something that can only be confirmed after the Purosangue is presented.

    conclusion: you don't know how exactly car looks because camouflage sill works well and ferrari can keep up some secrets with camouflage

    I could live with that
    1000hp 4wd and probably 0-60 in 2.6
    The looks are reasonable (and yes better than BentaygaCullinan⚰️Lambo [emoji243]) but not the best.
    If the interior is big enough for some utility then we may have something here

    I would agree. I have said no way to an SUV over my V12 Lusso but if the render is accurate and there’s a V12 I’m very intrigued. It would be great to get the family in the car with 4 doors.

    From day one I have never been in love with the Lusso looks but needed back seats. It has grown on me over the years and love the back, the front just doesn’t do it for me. V12 trumps everything

    I agree that camouflage manages to hide some of the details of the Purosangue that we are currently unaware of. However, the ridiculously extended rear of the black mule intended to hide the rear forms we already aware of is no longer of any use because in aerodynamic terms is an aberration. Also the two holes in the hood cover don't fool us anymore because we also know that the final Purosangue doesn't have any vents in those places.

    Mario, I don’t think the rendering of the red car is very good nor is it accurate. Already from the leaked pictures we can note that the nose is more “spiovente” (drops down more) and the fender line has a distinct hump over the front wheels. This is even noticeable on the camo’d mules.

    Also, from this drawing—which proved to be accurate even though not super-detailed; like it was traced over an actual picture—we can expect the rear quarter window to be very much different from the red rendering.

    The general surfacing of that red car looks to me as if it was photoshopped from a Mazda SUV.

    In my opinion there will be a B pillar for rigidity purpose. It's a huge car, so the void between A and C pillar would be massive. Also expected to be very heavy with a V12, electric motors and batteries. That would induce quite some flex. If you add the potential glass roof (which means the roof cannot flex at all or the glass shatters) I would imagine this to be extremely difficult to achieve without a B-pillar.

    I agree, can't see it not having a B pillar especially when fitted with the 'must have' Pano roof. Torsional rigidity has improved gradually over the years and especially important with very long heavy cars. The chassis dynamics would be too heavily compromised without a strong B pillar brace. I also doubt it'll pass the Euro Ncap side impact collision tests without them.
    Even if they managed to overcome all the above all four doors would need to be as strong and heavy as a bank vault which will make a very heavy car even heavier !

    Absolutely, there is one !
    But originally it was designed without.
    I think you will all like the opening of the engine hood.

    Looks like a forward clam shell from the leaked photo.

    I don't like the concept, I hate the idea, but the car is pretty good in the metal.

    Could you provide us with some more information? How big is it compared to other SUVs out there? Does it have a wow factor that makes it stand more out compared to other super SUVs?

    No wow effect, but a thousand times better than a URUS at all levels, without exception.
    End of answers for now:)

    Guess we need to see it in the flesh like every modern Ferraris.
