    suicide doors like in Rolls Royce? you don't need to open front doors first to be able to open rear doors?

    In the side views of some of the pictures of the last Purosangue mule it is possible to see the handle of the front door but not the one of the rear door. In the examples that exist of vehicles with suicide doors there are three types. In the first type there are handles on the front and rear doors and these are all placed close to the B-pillar area. In the second type (Mazda MX 30) the front doors have a handle and the rear ones do not. In the third type, both the front and rear doors do not have handles.
    The possible existence of a handle located on the back of the rear doors as you mention and pointed in the picture, would be a clear indication that the back doors open against the wind and not backwards. However, as Marcel Massini mentioned, what we see on the mule in terms of doors could be illusory and quite different from what will be installed in real Purosangue.

    Shape is very different from Infiniti FX one.

    Better looking? Who knows. Purosangue doesn't look like a SUV: it looks like a mix between a SUV and an upgraded Lusso.
    Yesterday evening I was talking via whatsapp with fchatter Isot: he likes it, I don't, but I have to say it's much better looking than Bentayga, Cullinan, Q8 and so on. This Purosangue basically is a Lusso with rear suicide doors, a much more angled rear and with a bit raised sides.

    But It's better looking than a Lusso, who was a car shape I didn't like at all.

    Looks very nice in that shot. Hopefully they’ll have some more interesting wheel design…

    That should read “door edges”, not “fit edges”. Stupid auto correct changes words on its own.

    Once again: it comes with suicide doors.
    Don't be fooled by looking at all these mules.

    These doors are the top of the nonsense this car represents…

    In the Purosangue leaked picture it is not clear whether or not the front door has a handle. Where the arrow points can be either a handle or a reflection. In the first render that appeared right after the leaked pictures, handles were placed only on the front doors. In a recent render of a yellow Purosangue the front and rear doors have handles.
    For a matter of structural strength it seems plausible to me that the Purosangue will have a B pillar like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the pictures. In the Rolls-Royce case the four doors have handles and these are located in the area of pillar B. In the case of the Purosangue it could be that all doors will have handles although those on the rear doors may be hidden.

    I think you have to open the front door first. Both front and rear doors look to have a frameless window, who lays on the B pillar. Isot picture is very clear.

    How would someone sitting in the back open the door to get out?

    You can see very well the front door opening handle (there a small piece of the front door handle who lost the optik camo and you can see the blue color and its shape)

    First: I'm not sure about this.

    Second: if it works this way, there will be of course some safety release

    Since the leaked picture of the Purosangue was released and the suicide doors where a strong possibility, I've been wondering where the rear door handle would be located. After seeing your post I said Eureka because the rear door location you indicate seems logic and I presume the handle will be somehow hidden within the door.

    I am liking the profile more and more but I still can’t get over how small/low some of the drivers appear to be. It looks like he can barely see over the dash!?

    Looking very carefully at the cuts in the bodywork and assuming the fulcrums in which the doors are hinged, I can say with almost certainty that the doors open independently as for RR Phantom and Cullinan. This is thanks to the presence of the B pillar. In the absence of a central pillar it would be necessary to open the doors in sequence: first the front then the rear; what occurs on the Mazda RX-8 or MX-30

    I agree and am holding out for the reveal. Could use a haircut- just a little off the top & sides (height wise) and it’ll be sweet! But these last few pics have been chipping away at any skepticism. I just hope they didn’t go too conservative.

    I’ve driven the DBX 707 and was thoroughly impressed- no turbo lag, no fat car lag and the 48V suspension leveler make it a game changer with respect to the other SUVs I’ve owned. (Better in fact than the Porsche systems, which is saying a lot) Now if Ferrari can continue to parallel AM with the former continuing to be more “sports cars” and the latter more “GT,” they will have knocked it out of the park on merits alone and not just because it’s a “V12” or it’s a “Ferrari.”

    I think you have to open the front door first (or there is an automatic some degrees opening of the front door when you pull the rear door oiside handle). Otherwise you should see a double vertical cut in ihe car body in the B pillar zone like RR Cullinan has: here there is only one.
