Ferrari thoroughbred test drive | Testing the high-wheel V12

Like her no other. This sentence would be enough to describe it best Ferrari pur-sang, the first high-wheeled model of the Prancing Horse, powered by the iconic V12 that they were able to evolve in Maranello, reaching 725 CV and 716 Nm of maximum torque in this configuration. The performances speak of a 0 to 100 km/h shot in just 3.3 seconds and a 0-200 in 10.6 seconds while the top speed exceeds 310 km/h. All combined with a new F1-derived 8-speed DCT gearbox that keeps gears close.

The thoroughbred created according to Maranello a new slice, offering a versatile car that can perfectly combine comfort and performance. The Style Center directed by Flavio Manzoni has once again worked by playing on the subtraction of volumes, with the stylistic language that has given life to a car ideally divided into two levels: the more technical part at the bottom, while the sinuous lines stand out at the top , with the voluptuous wheel arches and that elegant and at the same time imposing front end, with the subtle and distinctive optical signature that embraces the sides of the nose projecting them to the sides. With such a sporty and elegant design, created so as not to distort the stylistic path of recent years, the creative team of Maranello has worked with great care to design the interior spaces so that they can embrace an entirely new concept, that of of a four-door and four-door seat, the first time in a Ferrari in its 75-year history.

The first important choice concerned opening folding doors that facilitate entry even for the two rear seats and open the view to a cabin that offers plenty of space characterized by refinement and modernity, with a sophisticated luxury that embraces the tradition of the great Maranello tourers. There is a symmetry between the driver and the passenger, with the fully digital instrumentation behind the steering wheel which finds its counterpart on the other side thanks to a 10.2” screen through which it is possible to participate directly in the driving experience. The digital dashboard interface and tuning are inspired by the SF90 Stradale.

Maranello’s new car also offers a number of customizations that make the experience even more unique, such as the electrochromic glass ceiling that can replace the standard carbon fiber one or the massage seats. Confirming the quality of the project, there has been a success beyond imagination, which has already depleted the order portfolio for the immediate future, effectively closing reservations until at least 2024. The first deliveries of the Ferrari Purosangue will begin in any case after the summer, with the price catalog price for Italy set at 390,000 euros.
