    I know this has been said but…you are awesome. This thread wouldn’t be anything close to what it is without your input, thoughts and effort. I appreciate the passion and commitment! Cheers, Mario!

    She has heavy padding and I am starting to think the rear is fake and that in fact its much smaller than it looks

    I am 100% convinced this is the case. Ferrari has done this which the rear of each and every one of their recent mules/test cars.

    The FUV is finished since quite some time already (design and looks). Same for the 296 GTS Spider.

    A closer look at the two bonnet air intakes in the black Purosangue mule suggests that at least for now they are inoperational.The camouflage film is clearly visible underneath these intakes making it impossible for air to circulate through them.

    A few Ferrari customers said they saw the Purosangue today, Overall the opinions are good.

    Of course, as they say, the taste of one is not always the taste of others.

    I'm really looking forward to see it personally, especially the V12 model.

    I hope we won't have to wait too long.

    Who saw them? Any links to their impressions if they published them anywhere? Thanks!

    Edit: only person that I’ve found that says they’ve seen it but doesn’t really say anything about it. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Two people I know have seen it with other people and on the whole they find it successful, but this is not the case for everyone from what they have told me.

    It seems to me that some people also talk about it on instagram (sorry I don't have the links).

    No problem, thanks for sharing the insight, I’ll try to do a cursory search and see what I can come up with.

    People who allegedly declare they've seen something very unusual as a flying saucer or the Loch Ness monster, in order to have a minimum of credibility they have to be able to point the location where the sightings happened complemented by a description of what they've seen.
    The ones who write that they saw the new Ferrari Purosangue can fall into two different categories. The first group representing almost the totality are the braggarts, people who aren't allowed anywhere near Maranello's Ferrari factory but that feed their ego by telling these lies on-line.The second group if it exists, are very, very few outside Ferrari organization that could possibly have seen the new Purosangue and no one believes that Ferrari would have shown the final car in this phase of development without asking for some kind of draconian confidentiality agreement.

    I start by declaring that I am part of the group of enthusiasts to whom Ferrari won't show the Purosangue prior to its official presentation. Unlike those who swear they have already seen it in the flesh but are unable to describe its looks and design, what I often do is try to imagine what it will be like.

    I am putting money on no egg crate grill as much as I love them. Bet we get the mesh we have on other models or something out of the box like the Roma.

    There's been quite a few voices that mentioned this will have a hybrid system, however i haven't seen any of the mules having an electricity warning sign as the SF90 and 296 GTB had, or is it not required anymore?

    My best guess based on the sound on the track and the price rumours is that it will be the 812 competizione engine

    I hope it doesn’t share the Roma grill, that is not pretty, even a Mansory aftermarket grill would be better, and I think they have a knack of making cars uglier…

    Agree although I like the grill on my Roma but it’s very specific to that cars design language. I was meaning they may do something unexpected given the prominence of it due to height and size. I am a major thumbs down on mansory…just not my jam.

    Haven't read any of this thread so not sure if this has been mentioned before.

    I had a casual chat with the nice folks at the Ferrari dealership and they are being told by the upper ups that this is going to either be a NA V12 or V12 hybrid that's going to be on par price wise with the 812 GTS. So for those of us who were hoping for something priced like a Urus are going to be disappointed. I guess price wise the PS is going to be to the Urus what the Cullinan is to the Bentayga. I'm also being told that Lambo is woking on a Urus 'Sport' with HP north of 1000.

    Not sure how big the market for a half a mil SUV is. I hope the info is wrong, but like I said that's what my dealership has been told by Ferrari.
