MARANELLO, Italy: The new Handling Speciale configuration, available on request, for the Purosangue further enhances the sporting character of the first four-door, four-seater Ferrari.
The new configuration significantly revises several key elements of dynamic response, including the calibration of the active suspension, designed to reduce body movements by 10% and deliver a distinctly more compact feel.
As a result, the Purosangue in Handling Speciale configuration reacts more directly to driver inputs, enhancing the sensation of control through successive corners and during rapid changes of direction.
Shift strategies have also been revised, with quicker response times and more decisive gear changes, particularly in the Manettino ‘Race’ and ‘ESC Off’ modes.
The effect is especially evident during acceleration manoeuvres, where the system prioritises a sharper sensation of thrust.
In manual mode, shifts become more sporting at medium to high engine speeds (above 5,500rpm), increasing driver engagement.
The in-cabin sound has likewise been optimised through a dedicated setting, more pronounced at startup and under acceleration, further highlighting the character of the naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 which produces 725PS and 716Nm of torque.
The Purosangue in Handling Speciale configuration also introduces a number of exclusive styling elements.
These include wheels with a dedicated design and new diamond cut finish, carbon fibre side shields, matt black exhaust tips, a black rear Prancing Horse emblem, a satin finished Ferrari script and a dedicated interior plaque identifying the configuration.
Ferrari says the Handling Speciale configuration was created to deliver an even sportier driving experience.
Meanwhile, Ferrari’s quality standards underpin the extended seven-year maintenance programme offered with the Purosangue in Handling Speciale configuration.
Available across the entire Ferrari range, the programme covers all regular maintenance for the first seven years of the car’s life.
This service is also available to owners of pre-owned Ferraris.
Regular maintenance (at intervals of either 20,000km or once a year with no mileage restrictions), original spares and checks by staff trained directly at the Ferrari Training Centre in Maranello using the most modern diagnostic tools are some of the main advantages of the Genuine Maintenance programme.
