We'll soon get to see the brand's first EV; first, a more honed V12 four-seater.

Is your Purosangue SUV not sharp enough? Ferrari has you covered.
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
Looks and sounds beautiful, however, since I don't have the million or whatever insane price tag this will demand, I will never know (sadly).

There's something about this that's extremely wrong.
What's it's purpose other than to soak up euros from people who have too much? Not a track car. sports car, grand tourer, off road beast or rally car. WTF is it for?

Kind of like Ferraris (or any luxury automobile) in general: If you have to ask...

It’s only half a million!
The real question is whether this is one of those Ferraris that you’re not allowed to buy until you’ve established a relationship with the dealer first.

Last time I visited Paris there were a bunch of supercars on the Champs Elysees, all with Gulf states plates and most with stylish logos in what seemed to be Arabic, some of them part of the wing's ribs (the horizontal ribs went into forming a logo in the middle), all of them looking perfectly stock.

For when you come home with all three of tonight's mistresses, and need the whole neighborhood to know.
(that's the marketing pitch. your mileage will probably vary if you weren't born into money)

This is the annoying part of Ferrari.
The MSRP means nothing when the only available models are twice the price on the second market. The problem is that just increases their cachet vs Lamborghini who will sell to anyone. The puro is easier to get though.

"Four-seat Ferraris aren’t entirely unheard of"
4 seats didn't always mean 4 actual seats either. I once drove a 308 gt4 that "technically" had 4 seats. Barely fit 2 but can't complain when driving OPCs (Other Peoples Cars) I can't afford. I don't think the back "seat" actually fit a single bag of golf clubs

I have been told that anything called an SUV becomes an SUV, "no true scottman" and all that. With words being meaningless, why is it interesting to compare how many "SUVs" are sold in different markets?
(I note that so many EVs are slightly tall that nearly all EVs are "SUVs" now.)

Because it’s a trend outside the norm. The US has been derided for ages by Europeans for the US love of SUVs.

There's a small difference between Europe's "the Rav4 is a massive SUV" and the US, though...

Of course the US was and should be, and should continue to be ridiculed for the SUV thing. And pickups. Meanwhile, show me a random EV in Europe, its a coin flip if I can predict if its an "SUV" or not. The word has been abused until it has no meaning at all.

Best selling SUV in Europe compared to a VW Golf:

Doing some reading on it, I'm amused that Ferrari apparently doesn't call the Purosangue an SUV. Since it has been established beyond all hope of criticism that anything called an SUV by its manufacturer is an SUV, that means this article and a lot of the internet is conducting a sort of reverse no-true-scottsman on it. :-(
This clearly does not fall into the 60% or whatever of Euro cars that were sold being SUVs.

Never thought would see a Ferrari EV. I object to the article equating lifted hatchbacks to SUVs. My Lexus UX-250h is considered a crossover not a SUV as well as all the other crossovers out there. They are lower to the ground than SUVs. Then some sedans have lifted hatchbacks like my 1986 first year Acura Integra RS series. Was considered a sedan definitely not a SUV nor a crossover. Then a 1997 Subaru Outback wagon I had was not a SUV yet was a lifted hatchback. Is good to know lifted hatchbacks are quite popular. I wouldn’t have any other kind of car.

So it drives like it always should and they are charging extra for it? They should have refreshed it and offered to retrofit all the sold ones for free.

The purpose is to make money. People buy these things. I don't get it either. If you want a Ferrari to show off, buy a real Ferrari. At least this one looks more like a normal car than the Urus or the Cayenne.

How do you haul things without a pickup? Should I drive a minicooper most of week then rent a trailer for work sites?

I don't think so.
People don't buy a Ferrari to drive a Ferrari.
They buy a Ferrari to own a Ferrari.
Sometimes they get driven.

I haven't seen anyone with over 4,000 miles on their Ferrari. Basically just track the car and that's it.

This. I live in the US and we are looking to downsize from a Highlander to a RAV4 now our kids have left home. Meanwhile, when I rent a car in the UK to visit family, my UK family complain about the "huge" Ford Puma I am given and I wonder at the Golf being used as the "big" car in a two-car family.

So the link in the article is paywalled, but I do wonder if the "SUV" band sits "above" mainly unlifted hatchbacks in Eurpoe, but "below" larger pickups in the USA?
