The first photo of this Purosangue that you identified has being finished in Verde Bottiglia Metallizzato when compared to this last one is a good example of how any color can vary a lot from photo to photo and easily mislead us. If the registration plate of this Purosangue had been visible in both photos it would have been easy to tell whether or not it was the same car. As it wasn't visible to my eyes the green in the two photos seems quite different.

Thank you Chris,

Wow, you really need the sun to shine on Stellato to be able to tell.

I need to change mine over to silver sports exhaust tips too.

Thanks Again

People signal they are "more Ferrari" than Enzo and his son. The more time goes by, the more I understand why Enzo often felt the way he did to specific people.

Ferrari’s SUV

Has it come to this?

Picture the following glimpse of The Good Life. You have a mountain cabin in Telluride, Aspen or some such but would never want to take your Ferrari GTC4 Lusso there because of coping with snow and ice. But with the Purosangue (“purebred”) Ferrari, a 4wd SUV, you can tackle winter and still enjoy a purebred Ferrari.

A few years ago, it was inconceivable to Ferrari fans that Ferrari would ever offer a four door SUV like Porsche did with the Cayenne. But wait a minute–the Cayenne sold over 500,000 units–it basically saved Porsche, so they could afford to innovate with sports cars.

Ferrari came late to the party but, while they were developing an off-roader, the top tier of SUVs had grown in offerings and it’s clear there’s a competitive market. Ferrari doesn’t need that SUV crowd like Porsche did, but now that they have reluctantly entered the market, they hasten to assure us that their SUV sales will constitute only a small part of their sales–say 10%. They don’t ever want to be known as “that SUV maker.”

Chassis

First of all, it is a “purebred,” as they claim, not adapted from some sister brand as is the Lamborghini Urus, the Rolls Cullinan and the Bentley Bentayga. Because the electric car world is looming as a threat to IC engines by 2035, it is refreshing to enthusiasts that this Ferrari SUV has the configuration of engine that made the marque’s name–a V12.

You could describe its design as a four door, though it’s actually a five door if you count the hatchback door. The rear seats fold down so you could load in your ski gear and it’s off to the slopes.

The 48-valve 6496 cc V12 is rated at 715 bhp. The 0-60 mph time is faster than a 427 Cobra in its time—3.3 seconds. Top speed? A nudge over 190 mph.

The engine is derived from that in the GTC4 Lusso but has been improved with new crankshaft, new pistons and many other improvements. The cylinder heads are based on their premium GT car, the 812 Competitzione. The chassis is 30% more torsionally rigid than the GTC4 Lusso. The dual clutch gearbox is an 8-speed automatic located in the rear, though the engine is in front.

Although the cognoscenti might think the American auto industry has nothing in the Engineering Department that would ever interest an exotic car maker, it is to Ferrari’s credit that they recognized the genius of GM’s Multimatic suspension– a system that makes anti-roll bars unnecessary by using a 48-volt motor at each wheel to instantaneously control the ride no matter what maneuver you do. So, they bought the best idea from America to make their Ferrari SUV better.

Clean and stylish, a refreshing change from the run-of-the-mill Japanese and American SUVS.

So far, the only thing the critics found to knock was their infotainment system—it seems hard for foreign automakers to make controls that will satisfy the constantly changing tastes of consumers in that area. The price of the Purosangue is a heady $398,350, which is before you add the $5000 destination charge. That’s over $100,000 more than the Lamborghini Urus, but after all, the Urus only has a 4.0 liter V8, not a legendary V12, an engine which one road tester dramatically describes as emitting “the battle cry of a dying breed” (alluding to the industry common belief that Ferrari too, will eventually go all electric).

About the design, here’s a few general comments. The bonnet is long, like a traditional front engine sports car. The big scoops down below the headlamps add a macho tone. It’s difficult to make a vehicle riding so high look as sexy as a low-slung sports car but the body is sculptured to look aggressive. It is a far cry from say, a Range Rover Velar–the ultimate in minimalist flatness–but you would expect a brand famous for performance to look more macho than any other SUV. The taillights are odd for a Ferrari, almost Oldsmobile-ish. It’s got two spoilers to keep downforce on the rear, one designed into the body and the other eternally attached at the top.

Hard to believe there are four doors…well done!

Welcome to the world of the Ferrari Sports Utility Vehicle.

IN SUM….what can you say? A jacked-up SUV is never going to look as svelte as a low to the ground sports car but the Pursosangue will at last allow Ferrari owners to drive in winter, whether it’s St. Moritz, Aspen or Telluride… and to have their cake and eat it too…

At this point, after looking at so many posted pictures of the PS in various colors, it is safe to say that the PS is absolutely gorgeous in so many different colors. Add the handling, the engine, …: Ferrari created a masterpiece!

It is just like magic!!!

I can’t wait for the new crop of Ferrari’s to utilize this suspension system.
