Is Maranello's first four-door another five-star Ferrari?
A new Ferrari of any description will always get people talking. It’s hard to discuss cars for very long without mentioning the Prancing Horse. So when Maranello decides to evolve its time-honoured 2+2 tradition into the very first four-door Ferrari, interest is guaranteed. had more than 250 votes and almost 400 comments, because it’s impossible not to have an opinion on a four-seat, four-door, V12 Ferrari that looks how it does.
In the nicest possible way, there’s an Allroad/Cross Country vibe to the Purosangue. It looks like a car - almost, if you will - raised and with the cladding to deal with getting to the ski chalet, rather than a focused utility vehicle. It’s certainly like no other model that comes to mind from any other maker, and is definitely cool for being so different. As far as off-roading goes, the biggest concession is probably the Hill Descent Control.
Which is more than enough of that. While it might not seem cricket from the rear bench, this is undoubtedly an authentic Ferrari experience from the driver’s seat. A huge yellow tacho is right ahead, redlining at 8,000rpm and reading to 10, the carbon shift paddles feel wonderful, and the steering wheel is even better, just the right diameter and beautifully thin.
As might be expected these days from the latest Ferrari technical innovation, the active suspension works seamlessly and brilliantly. The ability of the Purosangue to manage 22-inch front wheels, 23-inch rear ones and a kerbweight getting on for 2.5 tonnes is little short of majestic. You won’t drive with the dampers in hard without realising it, but even then there’s a suaveness to every movement, that polish to the control that comes with having motorsport involvement.
