    Nice color!

    I saw the PS in silver at my dealership, I loved the PS, did not like it much in silver: black, green/picture from post, dark gray, … suit it better IMHO (would like to see one with the Ferrari red).

    From Mr. Manzoni's Instagram pg.

    "Fantastic ceremony last night in Essen at the Aalto Theatre, for the Red Dot Award: one of the most prestigious prizes in the world, considered the Oscar of design... It was the first time in the history of this award that two Red Dot "Best of the Best" were given to the same car manufacturer, in the same edition. Very proud about my team of the Ferrari Design Center!"

    The Purosangue took one of the awards.:rolleyes:

    I just received a PS allocation, late 2025 build. Is there a thread where people are discussing their specs/options? Or is it all intermingled in this thread? There are several options on the list that do not seem self explanatory. Another specific question I had was what the wheel arches look like if you don’t choose the carbon fiber option; are they gloss black?

    The moderators have decided to create a new Fchat section/sub-forum, but not available yet (hopefully soon as there are more and more comments and questions).

    Congratulations on your PS allocation :)

    I didn't know that, it's good to hear. I'd enjoy reading that forum/thread. I don't have an allocation and Ferrari would probably never give me one.

    I am tired of reading all the posts about Ferrari sold its soul, and the vehicle is a truck, and it looks like some other SUV, and you can't put 2 dogs in it, and yada, yada, yada. :rolleyes:

    The entire lower section will be black plastic (like on the F8) unless you select the Design Pack or CF options. Terrible...

    You can choose paint for a little less than half the cost of the CF I believe.

    Not totally correct - there are two new options leaving you the choice of glossy or matte painted lower parts (including the arches) in black (glossy and matte) and/or silverstone (matte).
    I ordered a matte exterior paint and wanted to have the lower parts covered with matte ppf - not possible with black plastic, but with the new options…it works.

    Yes, there are options one can purchase. But, if you go stock it will just be painted matt black.

    People signal they are "more Ferrari" than Enzo and his son. The more time goes by, the more I understand why Enzo often felt the way he did to specific people.

    I totally disagree. The Mazda is absolutely not similar to the PS, it’s bland, it’s ugly, it’s not attractive. The PS on the other hand has a magnificent shape, it attracts positive attention, its design is magnificent for a crossover/SUV (all sides). Its V12, performances and handling are out of this world. The PS is a true Ferrari (the brands makes fantastic cars for different kinds of people). Day and night between the two of them: dark night for the Mazda and shining sun for the PS.

    This green looks good on the PS. Enzo’s son knows what’s best and in its category the PS is the absolute best.

    Mazda are great cars. Folks have confused GT3 cars and F1 with the road car division since 1969. You can see the same criticisms when the 308 and, heck, the 208s or the Dino.

    Back in the day Purists HATED the Dino, because guess what? It wasn't a "real Ferrari." You heard the same chirping about the 308, (though to a lesser degree.)

    A Dino, in mediocre condition, could be had for less than a new Pinto back in day.

    I respect management's choice. Their site, their money, their time, their rules. I see myself as a guest in someone's home. If they want to ignore 1 out of every 5 new Ferrari owners, it's their prerogative.

    Like I said, it’s not my money. I’m just a guest here. Who am I to question how a person decorates their home?
