The Purosangue Thread

Purosangue advantage over the others will need to be in the details: the door windows being frameless—the b-pillar looks to be hidden—so it doesn’t look like an obvious 4-door will be part of the allure. As will styling details like the pretty aggressive scallops in the doors.

 

Did you just complain about being rich and swole?

 

I never said anything like that.

 

Thanks for the reply. I guess I’m seeing stuff. What date will we be seeing the release? Seems if they have

thank you for the clarification. I mistakenly thought there was a chance someone had taken a few generic photos when visiting the production line and then photoshopped in their rendering of the FUV. I guess I’m seeing things, Any thoughts / facts on the differences I thought I saw?

With a source like that what date is the Release date? I assume soon, seeing they are already producing final cars.
Also Is the red or the silver photo the photoshopped one or are there multiple cars in production?

in the end I do believe this is 90+% the finial look.

 

The Lambo Ureter is an utter joke. I won’t even compare the Puro with it. The Aston actually is a very nicely styled design.

 

I agree to disagree.

Vote with your money. Don't buy the SUV.

I agree. The DBX is rather nice. Great styling, attention to details and nice build quality. It feels very fancy. And it drives well too.

 

Damn...you know what...I think I just did (unintentionally)! LOL

 

If this thing is meant to have any semblance of utility they better improve the battery performance. Performance as in it doesn’t have to be charged constantly.

Guys I am a designer and have been working in Photoshop since the program was introduced, around 1988. Additionally, my car design degree and studies made me proficient in understanding form, reflection and surface development. I am 100% not arguing that these are not real, but I am 100% arguing that the design/photos have been altered:

Reflections are not lining up, due to surfaces being modified in Photoshop, its extremely hard to keep reflections consistent when you change a surface, especially on a car which has so many compound surfaces, its almost impossible.

There is surface development that goes negatives and there is form that is not consistent, also due to photoshop manipulation

light sources are constantly moving around, not possible

The outline of the car is pixelated in some areas, especially where there is overlap with the SF90, another sign of manipulation

AND THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL: Unless the photographer has a cell phone from 2002 there is no reason for the images to be low resolution NO REASON, the only reason is to help hide the photoshop manipulation, come on lets get real, low resolution images are not happening anymore.

Someone is having the best time reading this thread and laughing, they know its the real car, but they also know its been modified.

A - This small line/reflection makes no sense, none of the reflections line up with the hood

B - The man reflecting into the side of the car is gone, also there is no door handle?

C - This whole area has skips/drags from using the stamping tool, its missing the floor properly being reflected into the side of the car

D - None of the reflections are lining up on the A Pillar, the leading edge is to sharp compared to the rest of the resolution of the image

E - The whole section where the arrow is pointing is sinking, this is not proper form development and there would not be a sink here

F - There is no hood here and the form development does not match up with the drivers side

G - The parting line is to wonky, this area has been modified, especially near the mirror

The area with the large square box has all been modified

I agree with D being weird but the flaw you mention for E also appears in the Roma https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/the-chinese-flaw-when-designing-the-ferrari-roma.9433451/?id=9433451

 

"A" and "F" are due to an air bridge designed into the hood, as per the F12. That's why the hood looks like it's missing in "F".

You just need a sports coach and a 35-year-old woman and you can get out of your 812 10 times a day without effort.

 

Don't complicate your life, it's the car.
Most powerful NA V12 "large series" in Ferrari history.

 

I really like what Tesla has done with the new Model X inspired by Ferrari. Love the wheel gap. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

I’m curious to know what Ferrari does internally after something like this?
Does it barely even register? Are they going nuclear, serving papers to whomever it can be traced to posting online first?
Shrugging with a smile at the free publicity?
I’d guess reviewing security cam footage would be futile unless they could figure out the precise date it occurred.
Reminds me a little of the unflattering early leak of SF90(?), posted when the car was being staged for the invitational launch. Of course, that was far later in the reveal timeline and for a product with a smaller audience.
Largest of the V12’s? Sigh, makes me wonder what could have been (F167).

 

I have a feeling the wheel arch issue is due to the car sitting on the highest suspension setting.

It looks like a freaking Model X. lol. The pictures are not doing this car justice. Hopefully its much better in person.

 

You need to see it in flesh to say that. I could be even worse...

 

True. But most of the time the pictures suck and in person the car is a lot better looking.

 

you have obviously earn your degree.
unfortunately , according to those who saw the car , like day355 this is the actual car-minus bad/altered photo

 

Wow, I was not expecting to see this. I hadn’t checked the thread in a while and figured there’s no way we would get a leak this early....

Overall, this is pretty much what I expected. Front is a bit awkward, aero bridge on the hood is awesome, wheel gaps are embarrassing, rear is very familiar and expected however I do think it works quite nicely. Do I wish they would have been more bold? Yes. Did I expect them to be? No.

In the right spec, this will work very nicely. I prefer the Lusso, but I appreciate the fact that this car is less of a compromise. The Lusso tries to be a practical Ferrari for everyone, but ultimately is just a compromised GT that’s mildly more practical than any other 2+2 GT on the market. This car will actually be usable and offer the advantages of an SUV from a packaging standpoint. Throw in an NA Ferrari V12 and you’ve got a very unique package that won’t be replicated by any other manufacturer.

Most importantly, this “truck” is unquestionably a better execution of the job description when compared to the competition. The Lambo is an utter disgrace to the brand. An Audi with an Audi interior and an Audi engine and Audi electronics etc... but they changed the badge!! Don’t get me started on the Rolls. The Bentley is a slightly better execution of what Lamborghini attempted, but at least it has a bespoke interior. I’ve tried really hard to like the Aston. I appreciate that barring the MB engine, the car/chassis/design is complexly unique to Aston. But for some reason, it just doesn’t work to my eye. I do like the G Wagon. It is what it is and Mercedes knows exactly what they have.

This “Ferrari” will look more special, sound more special and drive more special than the competition. The V12 will be awesome. They will sell at a ridiculous premium and be near impossible to get. So, whether you like it or not, this will go down in the W column for Ferrari. I just wish I could be more excited about it.

 

The one pictured is the real car: no fake, no photoshop or anythingelse. Only a disappointing leak, never seen before.

I think I won't be fond of cars produced from 2022 onwards: the best is in the past, or at least from my point of wiew.

Ciao

 

The 296 GTB and Roma, Monza does give us a bit of hope. Perhaps these came in spite of Manzoni.
