The Purosangue Thread

they will tell you that it is more exciting than an F 12 TDF or an SP3
Seriously, a Ferrari with an electric battery is no longer a Ferrari.
The best thing is that they at least change the logo by putting green instead of yellow, it's more honest.

 

You're right, the exploitation of human ******** and the boredom generated by it has no limits !

 

That is actually a shocker if they're gonna mess with company logo. If anything, in the worst case make the background silver, yes, but green? I don't like this idea

That said, even more honest way would be to name electric cars Verrari

It's amusing that you actually fell for that...

Contrary to what day355 professes, even an electric Ferrari will be a real Ferrari. They are working on way to make the motors deliver their power in a more ICE kind of way (instead of offloading their torque instantly).

 

My data is from a hosted visit to Geneva at the Patek factory and dinner with Thierry Stern. 2021 production numbers were 65,000. Cheers.

 

Nice! How big of a collector do you have to be to get the honour to dine with Thierry?

 

Is it though? Perhaps in name but I can’t imagine a Ferrari without the sound and heart of an engine. Judge for yourself…

 

I don't disagree that the ICE (especially a Ferrari N/A V12) is the pinnacle of motoring. BUT, am electric Ferrari can still be special, if it manages to differentiate itself driving-wise from other electric vehicles.

 

Of course I fell for that and immediately came along with a better ; ) idea. Lately it's more entertaining than strictly informative thread (Maybe because of lack of excitement over the 'Puro-')

From the pure 'idea' point, electric cars are awesome. You don't need so many additional mechanical parts and so on. Instead you get access to torque vectoring, throttle maps and so on, from the very start. All looks very nice, but batteries

We seem to care about ICE cars, or driving a car at all. In not so distant future, driving a car yourself can become considered very old-fashioned :d

 

I believe you!!! MS report said estimate only cheers

 

Hopefully not in our life span. I will let our children worry about that.

 

I have a fairly extensive collection but plenty of bigger ballers out there in the world of Patek. What I do have is a loyal history and a great relationship with my AD and Patek in general. It was an epic trip. Once in a lifetime event.

 

I did not expect Longjnes to manufacture a whopping 1.5 million watches. That’s the biggest surprise on the list.

 

Has anyone got a trusted source that there will be a v6 hybrid PS? Apparently Ferrari have never confirmed that.

1. A Spanish publication EL ESPAÑOL interviewed Flavio Manzoni two weeks ago and that's what he said about the Purosangue:
   
   How important and special has the design of the Ferrari Purosangue been in your professional career?
   
   It has been very special, it has been a huge challenge. I have always had passion and I have believed very much that this project would be successful, but we must admit that it has not been easy. The most difficult thing has been playing with the proportions, mainly to achieve interior space, as well as great aerodynamics. It has been a complex process and I have to admit that many changes have been made to the prototypes until reaching the final model.
   
   How was the final decision to carry out the Purosangue in this way?
   
   In the different projects in which we worked, there was one that already contemplated this direction. And it was Ferrari itself that fell in love with the proposal. They liked it so much that in the end they decided to develop it and work on all the challenges of aerodynamics and habitability.
   
   Was it planned from the beginning that the rear doors open in the rear facing direction?
   
   No. In fact, we originally floated the idea of not including the center stud. But if we had done it that way, stiffness would have been lost and the weight of the car would have increased. Therefore, it was decided to include the central pillar, but not to lose the panoramic view of the interior and, hence, it was finally decided to include that system of doors.
   
   And what are the benefits of this door system?
   
   When you open the rear doors on a traditional door car, you don't get the panoramic interior view that you get with the Ferrari Purosangue. In addition, this door system has also made it possible to improve the exit and entry of the car. If we had opted for a traditional door system we would have had to choose a longer wheelbase to get the same legroom.
   
   The car has many air inlets and outlets... has aerodynamics been fundamental?
   
   To begin with, the frontal section of this Purosangue is larger than in other Ferraris, which is why we had to work a lot on the aerodynamics. But these types of challenges also represent an opportunity, because working on aerodynamics is a source of inspiration.
   For example, elements have been introduced to create this downward force of the air on the front and at the same time reinforce the design. In this sense, from here I have to thank all the work done by the aerodynamicists, which has been very important.
   We have worked constantly with them and at times we had different opinions. However, we have always found the best technical and aerodynamic solution to offer good performance in the car…
   
   What is the part of the car that you like the most as a designer?
   
   I really like what has been achieved with the floating bodywork. Floating bodywork is the indentations in the wheel arches that make the bodywork appear to float. At Ferrari we have patented this concept to protect it.
   
   Is it the most beautiful car you have designed at Ferrari?
   
   I can't say it's the prettiest. I like it a lot and I love it, but it's a different car and this allows you to enjoy it in a different way.
   Among other things because it is a Ferrari that family or friends will also enjoy. But there are other cars like the Ferrari Daytona or the Ferrari 296 that have a different character and that I also like a lot.
   
   But has it been the most challenging car for Ferrari?
   
   Yes, that is. The Ferrari Purosangue has been the most challenging car in terms of design, aerodynamics and interior space.
   
   Has the Purosangue helped you in the next challenges that Ferrari has for its 2025 electric car?
   
   An electric car implies different conditions, but we can say that the Purosangue has been an important experience when it comes to working on a habitability that we are not used to at Ferrari.
   
   Ferrari is a symbol of design and Italy is the country of design… Is there a better job for a designer?
   
   I like it a lot, it is a brand that I feel and that I like to interpret it… The Design Center has also demonstrated its ability to interpret the brand in an incredible way while also respecting the past. That is why I know that there is a queue of people who want to be Ferrari designers. It's the top... yes...

Really beautiful from this angle. Anyone know the color? Rosso Portofino maybe?

 

In short, for those not speaking Arabic, he is likes the car a lot.
The car is designed to be luxurious in the first plase a sort of GT, even has a massaging seats, 3 person memory?!
360° camera etc
22 inch front 23 inch back wheels.
lot of other stuff that basically add luxury but also add weight, which they didn't bothers keeping down, obviously.
Still, compared to other SUv, it is lighest of them all, also fastest and most beautiful.
And that v12....

 

Yes it has been confirmed by Marcel Massini to be Rosso Portofino (that’s the same car that was at the unveiling event in Italy).
