The black wheel arches are an effort to hide the smaller tires- makes them look bigger than they are Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat

Thank you! The last of the classic Ferrari’s before everything got a bit too modern. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login May the Horse be with you
maybe its a angle but... f40 looks like a toy in comparison. This coming from someone who likes puro, and leans to order one(the price ) But the cars, nowadays,are sooo big in general. Not all being about crash rules etc.
Flavio Manzoni has explained that the Purosangue was designed in order to create purposely the visual effect of suspension in the bodywork and also on the wheel arches. If we look at photos and videos of the Purosangue while curving, that visual effect of suspension and the wheel arches space remain the same as when the car is stationary. The reason for this has to do with the active suspension that equips the Purosangue, which minimizes or eliminates body roll and pitch. Air suspensions like the ones that equip some high-end SUVs can adjust ground clearance and also alter the visible space in the wheel arches. The active suspension of the Purosangue apparently keeps the wheel arches space unchanged regardless of whether the car is stationary or cornering at high speed. Personally I prefer wheel arches whose visible space is reduced like the one we see in the first image of the Lusso. Imagine what the Lusso would be like with a larger space in the wheel arches as seen in the second image, it would look disproportionate and a very different car. Something similar happens in the case of Purosangue. The first image shows the Purosangue as it is now, and the second image shows what it would be like if the visible space in the wheel arches was smaller. Unlike Flavio Manzoni who considers that the suspension visual effect of the bodywork and wheel arches on the Purosangue are aesthetic assets, IMO I think it is precisely the opposite. As the Purosangue is fundamentally a road car and not one with off-road characteristics, I think that like in the case o the Lusso, aesthetically it would benefit with a smaller visual space in the wheel arches.

“But the cars, nowadays,are sooo big in general. Not all being about crash rules etc.” My dealer has a 512 BBi for sale and it was parked right next to a Portofino. The 512 looked like a toy.
Image Unavailable, Please Login Finally drove PS. Exterior design, very impressive. Definitely a design looking into the future. Interior, top class. I did not like the wheels as much in person and the interior controls are not very responsive or overly so. Coming from other V12’s the engine is classic V12 but felt less snappy off the line with less character and more suited to daily use. It is not an event like 812. Sounded great but not offensive. Superb transmission and ride control. Not a perfect SUV but a fun four door sports car. After checking it out in person I did not change my mind. Still getting one.

Out of curiosity, I’m wondering how many people already have VINs showing in their app? Mine says “waiting list” and I suspect I won’t get a VIN assigned for quite a while.
