    Yeah, I agree it’s an SUV! All good! Some folks hate wagons too. Every enthusiast I follow also don’t understand why the hate for wagons either. Like the E63, RS6 Avant or the storied Randy Pobst Volvo. I’m not saying you have to love it! All good man, I’m just the type of guy that don’t care what you call a car (wagon, SUV, hatchback, FUV, Clown Car…or breadwagon) if it goes like hell. We can civilly agree to disagree on the merits of this car. (And how it has ruined Ferrari like never before!)

    cheers

    Does anyone know how the wheel arches or the rear diffuser look if the carbon option is not chosen? I have not seen any pic yet. I suspect it ll be matte black like on the Lusso diffuser but not sure.

    Does it look like cheap plastic or is it ok?

    If the PS is to be used as an “almost daily “, carbon front and rear diffusers may not be ideal…

    Ferrari Purosangue: a new engine coming ?

    According to ClubAlfa.it Ferrari shouldn't limit the production of the Purosangue to the V12 engine. Corridor noises tell that the prancing horse is preparing a Purosangue with another engine, much more oriented to the "general public". The transmission scheme of the Ferrari Purosangue recalls that of the GTC4 and therefore it can not be excluded that it will also be sold in the near future in a version with a biturbo V8 engine as was the GTC4 and before that the FF. Unless the brand has instead opted for the hybrid V6 of the 296 GTB, which is also a possibility. We don't know which of the two engines will be featured, but Ferrari would be well on its way to competing with the Lamborghini Urus.
    The Ferrari Purosangue's "small engine" isn't expected to be unveiled until next year but in the meantime, Ferrari has its work cut out for it as the marque has two years of Purosangue V12 orders to honor. In fact, the entire production has already been sold, customers probably weren't very hard to find. We will therefore see what news will arrive in this regard over the next few months. What is certain is that this model is destined to remain at the center of attention for a long time to come considering that it is the first "SUV" in the history of the prancing horse car manufacturer and that the model has received much appreciation from enthusiasts and insiders. being able to aim for the victory of the Car of the Year title for which it is in contention.

    This story published recently on Clubalfa it. is about a customer in Holland that sued the dealer because he wasn't VIP enough to get a Purosangue.

    The Ferrari Purosangue is at the center of a case that has been going on for a few days in the Netherlands. A man, a certain Marcel Wulms, an entrepreneur in the egg sector, had ordered the Purosangue by signing a preliminary purchase agreement and giving a deposit of 20,000 euros to a dealer in the Netherlands, even before the model's debut. In September, however, Ferrari asked its dealer to cancel the order as the production of the Purosangue was limited, intending to give priority to other customers considered VIPs or who already own a Ferrari.

    However, the man did not take it well and decided to sue the Ferrari dealership for an amount of up to 250 thousand euros for not honoring the preliminary contract. Munsterhuis Sports Cars had promised it would sell him the seventh Ferrari Purosangue, which they would receive from Italy, Wulms says. But in September received a call that the reservation had been cancelled. Ferrari had decided that first VIP customers and then TOP customers could order a new Purosangue. These are customers who have already bought several new Ferraris and "demonstrate their loyalty to the brand by participating in the events that Ferrari organizes". Wulms does not belong to this exclusive group.
    According to his lawyer Sander Aben, the entrepreneur was first offered 60,000 euros and then 80,000 euros by the intermediary who had established contact with Munsterhuis if he wanted to cancel the purchase. The egg trader refused. The agreement is the agreement , Wulms sayd.
    Attorney Mark Ripmeester argued on behalf of Munsterhuis that there is no outright purchase contract, but an option to buy. “There was still no agreement on price, color and execution. Furthermore, Wulms could still cancel delivery if he didn't like the model." Munsterhuis isn't even allowed to determine who gets new Ferraris, according to Ripmeester. “Ferrari decides it by itself. Ferrari's will is law."
    Lawyer Aben has asked for a fine of €5,000 per day with a maximum of €250,000 for each day that Munsterhuis fails to deliver the car from the moment the Ferrari Purosangue is on the market. The verdict is in two weeks.

    The verdict must be out by now as I think the two weeks started at the beginning of November!

    In a statement outside court Mr W said he had quickly scrambled to shell out a deposit of 20K on the upcoming Ferrari,only to have his turn on the list poached by a so called VIP,which was very hard to understand.Judge Benedict, in denying Mr W any compensation,said it was an easy decision to arrive at in just minutes, boiling down to the content of the one sided contract.As Mr W was whisked away from court he shouted out that he would appeal,in an effort to crack down on unfair discrimination ....





    He was planning to specify his promised Ferrari in a Bianco Avus exterior with a Giallo Modena interior....

    Perhaps has to do with the quality of the photos but this Nero to my eyes looks a bit brownish and seems to be metallic. I had a Ferrari in Nero color non metallic and the car looked absolutely beautiful after it had been washed. However, even in the shade, any finger print or trace of dust was immediately visible on the paint surface. When the sun shined on the paint you could see also clearly any swirls and micro scratches.
    Even in metallic Nero is a color recommended for people who enjoy washing their car often or that have someone to do it for them :)
