Ferrari has responded to the growing SUV market, which accounts for 60% of new vehicle sales in Europe, by launching the Purosangue in 2023. To enhance its performance, Ferrari introduced a new Handling Speciale option, which features improved active suspension calibration. This upgrade minimizes body roll, pitch, and yaw, making the SUV feel more compact than its 16.3 feet (4.9 m) length suggests. Additionally, the steering has been refined for sharper responsiveness. The double-clutch paddle-shift gearbox has also seen improvements, with reduced shift times, although this comes at the cost of some refinement. This change caters to Ferrari buyers who prefer a more aggressive driving experience, especially in manual mode when shifting above 5,500 rpm. With these enhancements, Ferrari aims to set the Purosangue apart from conventional luxury SUVs.
