This is the first time I've heard there is an embargo related with the Purosangue reviews. Can you please tell us more of what you know about this…..
The Purosangue special traction control system taken from the 296 GTB is tuned for optimum traction on snow or ice. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Thank you Jonathan for your investigation you didn't miss Harry's subtle words during this Porsche test . Below I post two picture taken from the video with the subtitles where is written exactly what he said. What I can deduct from these words is that Ferrari is somehow delaying the starting of the press tests of the Purosangue until the 8th March. Perhaps Marcel Massini will be kind enough and let us know why there is this "Embargo". Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The point of an embargo is so different press outlets are not racing to be the first to post their reviews. In the world of the internet, being first often means more views (and more ad revenue). It gives them time to write a more thoughtful and thorough review. No one is allowed to release their review until the embargo date.
This is similar to when publicly traded corporations release their quarterly earnings report or other important information. News agencies receive the information prior to a company's publication of such information, and the news agencies agree not to report the information until the time specified by the company.
Embargos happen all the time with reviews- it's also why all of a sudden there will be several reviews posted all at once. I can't wait to learn what Harry, and other good reviewers, think of the Purosangue!
You're welcome. One more reason for embargos is for the company to control the flow of information, so one announcement / event does not eclipse the other. For example: March 3-5: First F1 season race March 8: Purosangue review embargo ends March 15: Roma Spider announcement
There’s always an embargo. It’s so they can get through all the publications they want to without journalists becoming irritated that someone else has an advantage by going first. The press tests happen over a number of weeks then everyone gets to print/post at the same time. Nothing else to read into it than that. edit: I see others already answered, apologies
Now that pricing is out, has an ordering guide / options price list dropped yet for the US market? Thanks, in advance!!
Went to see the show car at my dealer, its a stunning looking car but I can’t help thinking it would be “better” with a twin turbo V8, more torque eg better suited to a heavy 4x4. In addition I could not see where the money has gone, this will be £450K in the UK. That is a crazy price for such a rudimentary car. Await the road tests with interest.

I like the "Car Photo Album" (FOTO): A photoshooting can be requested for the Ferrari Purosangue that includes about 30 photos showing the complete production phase of the chassis in the production line until the final stage in the showroom.
Probably the cost of your first borne! I have the production books from Tailor Made and some of the photography is ok but a lot are done with poor lighting - if they use the same approach, I wouldn't bother.
