    Maybe I haven't followed this thread rigorously enough but, is there a reason why the Ferrari Purosangue still doesn't have its own sub-forum? :confused:

    Although it is a color from the Lamborghini pallette Bronzo Masaru would probably be one of my colors of choice for the Purosangue.
    From what I observed there are several Rose gold finishes. Chrome is definitely very different from Bronzo Masaru however satin, although different, seems closer to me.
    Although comparing colors through pictures is always very tricky, in my eyes, Ferrari's Grigio Galvano seems the closest to Lamborghini's Bronzo Masaru.

    Actually the cabins look similar in size but the front hood on the PS is longer- V12 vs turbo V8 bring more compact.
    Does anybody know if the PS is front midengine like the F12/812? Or is it more a standard front engine car? Also is the transmission set back as in the F12/812 to help balance the weight?

    Rosso Magma looks great on the Purosangue.

    These pics are very embarrassing.

    Some of you guys are really going to pay $400k+ for this?

    Can someone explain the comedy wheel arches? Can someone explain the huge tire gap to those comedy wheel arches? I know it doesn't go off road, so what's this clown 2.6 ton truck all about? Someone explain?

    I'll approach the semi-constructive points you've made here...

    Yep - the wheel arches aren't great, I think it's a real shame - it's a very muscular car and they could have made the design even more cohesive without the arches being these stuck on carbon things that aren't flush with the bodywork.

    I'm treating this like the FF - when that came out everyone was apoplectic...now that and the GTC4 are some of the coolest, everyday usable cars available.

    Time will tell!

    OK, let's go back to it
    Ferrari is a highly desired brand
    Some Ferrari customers would like 4 doors
    The PS customer is likely within the 0.1% band and doesn't care what it costs
    It has a V12 and a delicious interior
    Many subjective elements will be accepted to have this sonorous transporter

    I have the opposite opinion. I think the proportions look off this way, that’s why we have the arches in the first place. That’s why I prefer lighter, brighter colors on the PS (I’m thinking of getting Verde Jewel or Verde Dora). I also prefer the arches in gloss black rather than CF to maximize the contrast.

    Damn that looks HOT! That's an identical exterior to my spec the only difference being carbon wheel arches.

    I wrote the moderator asking this question about six months ago and was told it is coming but that the devs have just not gotten around to it yet. At least it was not a no.

    Interesting!
    What would be the red shade name of the PS on the pics posted above?
    Too many reds existing in the Ferrari range [emoji12]

    The majority of the early metallic reds are Rosso Portofino.

    This Purosangue in Giallo Modena is a rarity.

    Regarding the subject of cohesion between the wheel arches and the body of the Purosangue, here is what Flavio Manzoni has already mentioned about the design "We broke down the body of the car into two parts, namely the body-coloured sculpture and the underbody, the underbody, which is, instead, made of carbon and which gives this effect of lightness, of an athletic body, to the car. This is also thanks to the fact that the bodywork seems suspended, we also see it in the wheel arches, where there is this floating effect, almost of suspension."

    What it seems to me is that our perception of this visual suspension effect varies depending on the body color. I will return to this subject after comparing the Purosangue images in different colors.
