The Purosangue Thread

According to my register the Lusso mules used in the development of the Purosangue are the ones in the pictures.

Uggh. Right now the 812s need to be dropped 1.25”/30 mm or so with at least 15-20 mm of spacers to look good with OEM wheels…………

Incorrect, see post 2596. Taken yesterday.

 

Good lord, look at those Lusso wheel arches...

Drivetrain testing.

I recently read your comments regarding one of my posts where you ended by kindly recommending that I did some research before posting "analysis". However, you showed some confusion by referring on your post the rear bumper of model 812 C when I had mentioned the one of the 812.

On this last comment there isn't any kind of confusion but simply lack of knowledge. Therefore I give you exactly the same advice you gave me - Do some visual research about the Purosangue before posting in order that you are able to identify the difference between a Lusso type mule and a Levante type one.

 

In the leaked picture the Purosangue appears to have a front hinged bonnet that incorporates the top sections of the fenders. This type of bonnet can be seen in the Mercedes SLR and also in the Jaguar F-type.

And the 456 GT... I love that configuration. Looks mean when the hood is open.

Olivier, the picture o the 456 GT you posted is a very good example because it shows how the top section of the fenders look when the bonnet is open. The leaked picture suggests that the Purosangue black colored fenders top section could use a similar system to the one of the 456.

 

What gets me is The 2 blue circle areas, they feel like their cut and pasted They just don't fit in and lighting is off. The red circle area is just nasty and looks like a bad photoshop. The Yellow area is normally solid back yet with the lighting around it it should be a similar shade of color to the rest of the wheel arch. (The orange arrow was in the ref pic I used)

100% agree, although people disagree, I feel confident there is photoshop work on this image.

 

People aren’t going to photoshop a car to make it look worse? Or add panel gaps. This is a PROTOTYPE of the final design. The fit and finish ISN'T DONE YET.

 

On the 456GTM and the Mercedes SLR the wheel arches are similar and both cars bonnets open backwards. The Purosangue bonnet appeared to be front hinged but after a closer look can't be discarded the possibility of opening backwards.

All these little floating details are intentional and serve to visually lighten the car. Don't hastily judge this car before you get a good look at it. The very long wheelbase allows for a streamlined and virtually low body. The cuts in the black wheel arches create what we have already seen on the Portofino, what they call "air curtains" - at least I think. The gap between the bonnet and the car body I think is a reference to the F40 and F50 which have a "cofango" that flips forward, just like this one. I believe there is a new version of the aerobridge similar to that of the F12berlinetta. The very pronounced sill and the drying of the side just before the rear wheel arch streamlines and makes the car body muscular

 

I can’t wait to see it, you know Ferrari will have created something interesting and beautiful...they always do.

 

The actual real world production car will look a lot better and have real charisma and road presence which is important for Ferrari. It might not be a beautiful Ferrari but with an unique style which will instantly be recognised as a Ferrari as opposed to all the other SUVs will guarantee success. The driving ability will be typically brilliant Ferrari and will please every potential owner IMO.
Ferrari make the best cars in the world and I don't see this changing whatever new future legislation brings.

 

Unfortunately I doubt the PS will look that much different from other SUVs out there minus some cosmetic differences . Not much you can do with a 2 box configuration that hasn’t been done before. Personally I would have liked higher front fender arches and a lower bonnet- akin to a caricature of the early 60s Ferraris and a rear with real aero. And please rear window or side rear windows that open to eliminate buffeting when the front windows are open and to listen to the glorious V12 exhaust!

I believe it is almost impossible to imagine a high-wheeled Daytona SP3 if the design involves 4 seats and 4 doors. It would have been magical if it hadn't had the B-pillar. I believe that for structural reasons and above all cost reasons they opted to leave it. This does not mean that they have failed to do something with a strong personality. Look at the Purosangue as a challenge and an opportunity.

 

From what we can see it looks much lower and sleeker than other SUVs. It is more like a high riding GT, rather than an SUV.

Isn't it supposed to have coach (suicide) doors? If that is so, then it won't have a B-pillar.

 

Having an aluminum spaceframe I don't think it can structurally hold without a B pillar exactly like a Rolls Royce I am afraid it has a B pillar. The only example that comes to mind is the Koenigsegg Gemera. But she has a carbon frame. Another story.

 

This.

 

Door with window frameless, and behind the B pillar. I'm wrong?

I think these contour lines absolutely nail the final design. Well done!

 

After the leaked images of the Purosangue were shown Quatroruote artist Marcelo Poblete produced these two renders and Fabio Sciara wrote a very complete article about the car. Following is the full article translated from Italian into English.

"All you need to know about the new Cavallino model After yesterday's leak of images, we anticipate what the Maranello crossover will be like.

Here we are: amid indiscretions, leaks of news and material, time has passed in a flash and the debut of the Ferrari Purosangue - Suv or Fuv if you prefer - is just around the corner. Expected on international markets by the end of this year, the first Maranello proposal with a raised trim should be seen in its final form over the next few months. Everything you need to know.

The project, moreover, is ready in every respect, as demonstrated by the latest, striking images that escaped yesterday from the assembly lines. Which represent the perfect opportunity to make a more constructive point of the situation. Including information that has not yet been disclosed. Gran Turismo forms, length in the area of five meters. The first aspect that should be emphasized about the F175 project is that it will keep the aesthetic promises of which we had picked up the distant echo in recent months, when it was a question of drawing up the graphic reconstructions for the 2022 edition of the annex QNovità.
The Purosangue will be a very important model: length not far from five meters and wide-ranging proportions, with a well-developed front volume, recalling the classic morphology of GT cars with the engine in front, which still today constitutes the type of vehicle in able to better express the founding values of the brand. Sheet metal and windows: a well-studied relationship. Obviously, the question of height development is inversely proportional. And it does not mean, trivially, that the Purosangue will have the appearance of an SUV-coupé, but that the entire reading of the side has been designed to convey the effect of a raised sports car: the lower half, the one visually occupied by mudguards and sheet metal, it does the lion's share compared to the upper one (pillars and windows), playing to imitate the classic trend of the GT.

That memory of the Rome in the front ... As for the individual graphic signs, inevitably, a very close relationship was sought on the Purosangue with the latest creations of the Ferrari style center. In this sense too, in short, the research was aimed at continuity with the rest of the more traditional production. Here, then, that the front will find a stylistic motif very similar to that of the Roma, with the very thin LED daytime running light that divides the lower and upper halves of the optical group and that here would do the same with the air intakes that they imitate its physiognomy: the main light points would be further down, in the bumper. At the rear, however, the source of inspiration will be the 296 GTB, which set the standard with its successful reinterpretation of the classic double circular headlight assembly.

Aerodynamics and style still go hand in hand. The common thread between nose and tail, of course, will be aerodynamics. Never more than in these years characterized by the guidance of Flavio Manzoni, the pencil and the wind have interacted so closely, at the service of aesthetic balance on the one hand, and of performance on the other: from this will arise a series of sockets, excavations and outlets that it will serve to optimize downforce, resistance and cooling, without breaking the logic of style. They will find them in front of them, where a generous vent will serve to power the large engines and two deep excavations in the hood will allow air to be conveyed along the sides. And they will find it behind, where the flow will detach correctly from the rear thanks to the work of a vent under the optical group and that of the generous extractor. Small secret to conclude: it is rumored, but obviously there is no official confirmation in this regard, that the hood could open in reverse, that is against the wind.

Rear surprises: from the doors to the infotainment. There are also some first coded signals regarding the interiors: according to rumors, the cockpit of the F175 / Purosangue should only have a four-seat configuration (and original solutions for opening the rear doors are not excluded ...). According to Quattroruote, the driver's seat should also incorporate the "eyes on the road, hands on the steering wheel" principles that led to the definition of that of the SF90 Stradale, while, as regards the infotainment, even those who sits in the back should - and this is the most interesting novelty of the interior - benefit from all the information relating to the vehicle's performance on dedicated screens, exactly as happens to the front passenger.
Space frame based on the ideas of the F169. But let's move on to the structural aspects of the new aluminum modular architecture of the model. The stylistic references to Rome we mentioned earlier are certainly not just a motif of style: the space frame on which the F175 project was based started - at the level of basic ideas - from that of the most recent front-engined GT in the range. , namely type F169. This is an inspiration in principle, but which then distanced itself from it due to the profound differences in objectives and dimensions at stake.
All specific (even the suspensions ...). In other words: all structural components are specific, even if the basic ideas are the same. The Purosangue, as far as we know, will follow the position of the engine in the central front position and that of the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox in the transaxle housing, for obvious reasons for balancing the weights, but it will distance itself from it for the possibility of offering all-wheel drive and plug-in hybrid mechanics, as well as for the total redesign of the uprights, safety cell, suspensions (height-adjustable, we believe) and etc.
Engines: the voice of the V12 is heard in the distance. Last but not least, let's talk about engines. Given the presence of the plug-in hybrid, there are two new elements compared to the last time we told you about the model. The first: the rechargeable mechanics should be based on that of the SF90 Stradale - therefore the 4.0 V8 - and not on that of the 296 GTB (the 3.0 V6). Secondly, but it should be emphasized that the rumors at this point are highly speculative, it seems that the aspirated V12 is also included in the range, probably the 6.5 in the 800 HP version of the 812 Superfast. It would be the perfect culmination for a model range that will push the brand's sales to 20,000 units per year."

Damn, Ferrari has done it again. When I heard they were going to do an SUV I didn’t want to like it. These renderings though… so classy, elegant, and with a monster 800hp V12? Here Ferrari, just shut up and take my money.

Oh, and those who say this is a “departure for Ferrari” need to learn their history. A brilliant redefinition of a luxury GT with a race engine at its heart. Just like they’ve done since the beginning. I’m impressed. Again.
