It's surprising you have such a strong opinion of the PS given it hasn't even been driven yet by anyone outside of Ferrari. I think it will surprise a lot of people, but in the end Ferrari will do well even with strong naysayers like you. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
You guys are funny. Ferrari will make a ton of money on this car. In fact, Ferrari could wrap a turd with a Cavallino and sell it for a jillion dollars. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you like it, buy it.
We know how a 2400kg truck drives, even with trick suspension.. It's a 300 bhp / per ton car. That's around the power to weight of a F355, but with almost double the weight to stop and corner with.
You nailed it, they wrapped 2400kg turd and will make big money. Do you think this "extra" money will finance their "sports" cars, make them all carbon tubs, lighter and more engaging to drive? Or is this truck just for investors profits?
You should drive a second generation SuperCab Raptor - not the SuperCrew - ON THE STREET. It handles like a 5,500 pound Ferrari. Then you should drive it on a pot holed and washboarded dirt road... at over 75 MPH. It has the best suspension of any vehicle I've ever had, and I've had three Ferraris. The brakes are also superb.
Sadly, Porsche is going public very soon as well. Lets wait and see how that plays out. My guess is a $40k electric car.
If Ferrari had built a Raptor competitor, that would have been bloody amazing. Something they could go and win the Dakar with... An off-road long travel weapon! Sadly they have just made a GTC4 with 450kg more weight, that's 1 foot taller, for no reason aside from, SUV's sell.
I would be very happy if Ferrari built a small car that' s 1,260 kg ( the WRC limit), trick 4 wheel drive and a 600bhp hybrid PU ( road spec), and then entered it into the WRC... A modern day Stratos?
I was a big fan of the Stratos back in the day. I would love to see Ferrari build something like that. But alas, don't think there's a chance.
It looks good, and glad they made the V12 standard. I'm not big on the direction Ferrari seems to be going with headlight design, I feel like they are a huge factor in a good-looking, or not, front end.

Full story: https://autos.yahoo.com/ferrari-purosangue-revealed-ferraris-next-170000217.html "Rather than incorporate a hybrid or full-EV drivetrain, Purosangue features a delightfully old-school propulsion system: a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 producing 715 horsepower and 528 pound-feet of torque. Revised valvetrain, induction and exhaust systems enable the powertrain to realize 80% of its torque from 2,100 rpm. A dry sump system allows it to sit lower to the ground, and its front-mid-engine configuration and rear transaxle achieves an impressive front/rear weight distribution of 49/51. An all-new platform utilizes a stiffer, lighter structure that enables 30% more torsional stiffness than the late, great GTC4Lusso, yielding a dry weight of 4,482 pounds. Mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the engine drives all four wheels and should go like stink, with a claimed 0-62-mph time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed in excess of 192 mph. Like the now defunct GTC4Lusso, an all-wheel-drive system works up to fourth gear at 125 mph before disengaging. Subtly sleek, curvaceous and delicately proportioned, the Ferrari Purosangue exceeds expectations in the flesh. In a way it ought to, with a starting sticker price of €390,000, or around $400,000. More important, this difficult-to-classify four-door breaks a new mold for Ferrari, one that we’re told is the product of many customer requests. No doubt there will be haters, in much the same way Porsche fanatics distrusted the Cayenne when it debuted. As it turns out, the folks in Zuffenhausen couldn’t have orchestrated a better anchor for the business, as sport utes now command over half of company sales, a phenomenon that’s being encountered by countless other ultraluxury carmakers. In the here and now, the Purosangue presents a strong case for itself thanks to its stringent design philosophy and adherence to brand principles. It’s so focused on performance that it only offers two rear seats, and buyers couldn’t get a tow hitch attached to the tail if they wanted one. While it might be tempting to say that Enzo Ferrari would not approve of a Ferrari SUV or crossover, it’s hard to argue with the Purosangue’s execution. If this high-waisted four-seater drives half as well as we suspect it does, Ferrari should be onto a winner."
This is not a truck. please call it something else. An SUV, Ute, or wagon is more correct. someone was selling a Range Rover velar in the ads and kept calling it a “truck.” rediculous. you guys are smarter than that. back to your regularly scheduled programming… Robb
It's a 2400kg truck.. The Velar is a truck as well... They drive like absolute ****. Hey lets all meet at the Nurburgring in our Velars..... Is this not a sports car forum? The joke is, these new trucks don't even have a tow hook (due to fake diffusers ) to even bring a real sports car to a track on a trailer..
I'm looking forward to the day the PS is beating other sports cars on track days, while carrying a few passengers. Ferrari is changing the game. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
