Is this going to be the first ever 4-door Ferrari?
If the Purosangue will be equipped with the adaptive air suspension I've been using on my SUV I can only think of advantages. Apart from the ride comfort and better handling on curves the most obvious one is the ability to move the car up and down at will 3,5 - 4 inches.
I only listened to the very end of today's earnings call, but PS to begin production in 4th quarter with first sales in 2023. Also talked about 15000 units. Seemed to indicate that would be maximum number of PS's built, but with various engine and electric motor configurations, one would think more. Reading the transcript of the earnings call should provide more accurate information.
Ferrari apparently dropped the name Purosangue and has confirmed that the thoroughbred will be powered by a V12, aspirated non Hybrid engine. Great news….

I think this bodes well for the 812 replacement having a NA V12(+/- light hybrid?) Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
According to EVO that's all we need to know about the Purosangue. - A front end design that looks to feature an almost multi-layered design with daytime running lights sitting in a void left for cooling, with the main headlight units sat hidden from view below. - The extremely low main intake suggests that this will most certainly be a crossover biased towards on-road driving. It also clearly now reveals that the Purosangue will utilise a huge one-piece clamshell bonnet, not dissimilar to an Aston Martin DBX - The overall proportions signal its duality of purpose – the four-door cab is slung far behind the front axle, but retains a substantial rear seating area. - The windscreen is heavily raked, glasshouse especially shallow and windows frameless, while the sloping rear screen finishes in a distinctive fastback tail above a very short rear overhang. - In contrast to the slim glazing, there’s lots of bodywork above the wheel arches, suggesting it’ll need a very big wheel and tyre package to compensate proportionally. - The chassis will be built from Ferrari’s highly flexible aluminium matrix platform. Despite sharing elements from the new Roma, though, it’s proportions otherwise look relatively normal, lacking the exaggerated dash-to-axle ratio that usually typifies Ferrari’s front-engine model range. - This leads EVO to believe that the engine’s placement will be further forward than in Ferrari’s existing GT models, suggesting the Purosangue will have a more traditional powertrain configuration than something like the more technically complicated dual-transmission layout of that GTC4 Lusso. - What form of SUV Ferrari actually reveals later this year remains the more pertinent question, but one we’re now starting to get a picture of.
15000 units is a lot, was there ever a Ferrari model that was produced in such high quantities? So as most suspected whoever wants one will get one
I listened to the fully recording of the earnings call (I previously only heard the very end of the live presentation), and 15000 units refers to Ferrari's production capacity. The question concerned available capacity to produce PS, since extrapolation from current production numbers indicates over 13000 units. The response was that Monza SP1 and SP2 was completed in first quarter, and there is available capacity for PS. Plus it is foreshadowed that Ferrari will talk about more production capacity at its Capital Markets day on June 16. Should also learn more about PS then.
Isn’t it time to create an own section for the PS, please? We are still under the Lambo title or did I missed something. Thanks
so they are planning to increase production capacity by 50%...seems like a lot...also they now have to start producing SP3s although I don't think these special edition cars take a lot of capacity...it's probably more the capacity that got freed up by stopping Lusso and now 812 production (granted there are still the 812C/ A being produced) also as far as I understood it is a new V12...so not exactly overlapping with current V12, although it's probably just a matter of space in the facility Still wonder where the additional capacity is going to come from, haven't heard of any construction sites in Maranello but maybe they kept it well under cover in any case sounds like there will be a lot more Ferraris on the streets going forward
