    This happens because the RR has the door with framed glasses. The Puro will has frameless glasses. Maybe you're correct... but if you're correct this it would be a real nonsense opening. A super suv super luxury where to exit you should have to wait the front passenger exit? ahahaha

    Yes, it's a bit strange: I don't know how it is and probably you can open the rear door without opening the front one as you say. But in any case it will be much better than on the Lusso, who only has front doors and if you want to get out the car from a rear seat you have to skip the front seat too.

    Let's see how those doors work: I'm very curious to learn.

    Off the suicide door talk for a moment, thank you for illustrating how disgusting an SUV can actually look and for contrasting it with Ferrari lines. The Purosangue has its detractors in terms of how it’ll ultimately look, but one thing is for certain. It won’t possibly look as awful as the Cullinan!

    If the rear doors are rear hinged wouldn’t they then open in a steep upward arc like Aston Martin? Might be kind of cool. :)

    I agree. No matter how bad the Purosangue will look it won't get even close to the Cullinan.

    I’m probably in the minority but I’m happy if the rear doors don’t open without the front first. I suppose it will be an ordeal if dropping the kids off at school. But there are so many quirks to these cars anyway that I’ll just add that to my list of “endearing” quirks.



    …Like the silly beeps when putting the car in reverse! LOL

    The mule of this last video in Milan is less camouflaged than the previous ones, revealing some details that were not noticeable before. In the first photo below you can see the handle of the front door and what could be the handle of the rear suicide door as indicated by Alberto. Another novelty that was seen in the prototype of the leaked picture of the Purosangue and that appears hidden with tape on all previous mules, is a kind of tear that is now seen in the front fenders.
    Also on the back of this mule is now visible a tear above the exhausts that couldn't be seen on previous mules.

    The car has a very sophisticated body. All solutions aimed at making the car seem lighter overall. Visually lighter. And this by resorting to solutions such as the black wheel arches, which disappear under the bodywork. There are numerous cuts and air passages already seen on the F12 and Portofino, what they call "air curtains". The front hood is detached from the A-pillar where a small section can be seen. The horizontal cut above the exhaust accommodates the horizontal reflector

    Thanks for the explanations. I could be wrong but as the Purosangue reveals itself I have the feeling that in aesthetic terms will be a very pleasant surprise. :)

    The trouble I am having with the leaked photo is how the black arches make the wheels look so small. It looks like dead space/gap between the body and the wheel. I hope it looks better in person and or your can paint it the same color as the body.

    In that last photo there is clearly a door handle for the rear suicide door.

    They do seem more like elevated sports sedans than SUV's

    I think they will be more than less. Personally, I like that way
