    looks more like understatement than a statement.... which I like. Depends a lot on final data on weight, performance, track-times.... :)...like it want to have it.

    For example, in some countries you can have more than one wife…

    Still to squashed down and the back door is well out. with these leaked images and latest spy shots these renders should be much more actuate on basic details. while the shape is hidden the length, height etc are not going to really change same with the door sizes.

    No ****........

    Doesn't look like they didn't even even tried. Toyota-ish and not in a good way. And I love SUVs and pickups!!!!



    Hopefully the mistress is better looking.

    Is that even a human driving?
    Why do they always look like aliens?
    I guess it makes sense to hire a horse Jockey.

    Anyway , at least at the beginning, Purosangue will be only for customers chosen by Ferrari , not for everybody . This is confirmed by my dealer

    This has probably already been covered, but I heard heard TOP and VIP customers were offered the “limited run” V12 and were expected to accept the offer and pay a deposit and the car will come with an 18 month restriction. I dutifully paid my deposit as instructed.

    They will therefore choose 8000 customers in total, it may keep them busy...:D

    Same here. Only thing is that I have not heard of a single person that was interested in buying the car and was not offered the ability to pay a deposit. So the question is: is Ferrari telling us that it is only for VIP customers but VIP customer is anyone who wants the car?
    Even with the Pista (which I got) they ended up producing a huge amount.

    Same here. Many friends with very limited Ferrari purchase history were offered to pay a deposit.

    In which country are you based? and when you said limited what do you mean? like 5/6 or 1/2?

    Heard the same. I will speculate, Ferrari originally offered to VIP and based on the response (% who put a deposit down) then they opened it up to the masses similar to the Pista.

    I was told some whole story about a famous sports person who walked in and wanted the car and Ferrari said no way… based on the comments above that seems a little bit unlikely …

    Sadly after the experience with the Pista I lost a lot of my trust in what Ferrari says in terms of how exclusive a car will be. I am happy I got the Pista as it is a great car but I feel Ferrari might be overselling a little how much demand there is for the Purosangue, especially at this price point. I bought over 10 Ferraris and in the past it was more about what the car was and why it was great. Now even on normal cars (ie not special editions cars) there is a whole new narrative about the cars being exclusive and rare to justify higher prices so I think they are trying hard to sell a typically money losing car (v12 4 seater) as an exclusive, value holding car. When I got the Lusso there was no story about v12 only going to certain clients or not. It was just: hey , it's expensive, but it's unique, and it's great. We all knew it would drop like a stone in the secondary market but still felt it was worth it.
    I might sound a bit negative while in reality I did pay the deposit and I will wait to see how the car looks before making a decision, just feel that the whole quarter by quarter earning pressure coming from being a public company has changed a lot the way the company works with clients. I don't blame them - they have no choice.

    I was told the same, and I did put my deposit and signed the 18 month contract, BUY, I know a client not VIP, who has been offered by dealer an allocation.

    It might be like the 812 GTS, at the beginning they told me that you needed to have 3 Ferraris to be able to order one, and so I thought it was special. Months later they sold one to someone who has never bought a Ferrari, and with a 5% discount… (I have seen that invoice and I have never got a discount myself…)
