A New Dimension of Driving Precision
When Ferrari introduced the Purosangue, it redefined expectations.
A four-door Ferrari.
A four-seat Ferrari.
A Ferrari designed for everyday usability.
Now, with the Handling Speciale configuration, Maranello takes that concept one step further — not by changing its essence, but by intensifying it.
This is not a new model.
It is a refined expression of performance.
Designed for Those Who Want More
The Handling Speciale configuration is aimed at a specific type of driver.
Not someone seeking comfort alone…
…but someone who demands sharper response, greater involvement, and a more dynamic character.
It enhances the Purosangue without compromising its defining qualities:
- Full four-seat usability
- Elevated driving position
- Daily versatility
The result is a car that feels more focused — without losing its identity.
Suspension — Precision in Motion
At the core of the transformation lies a recalibrated active suspension system.
The changes deliver:
- Reduced body movement by approximately 10%
- Faster response to steering inputs
- Greater stability through rapid direction changes
This translates into a more compact, controlled driving feel — especially noticeable in dynamic cornering scenarios.
It is not about making the car harsher.
It is about making it more precise.
Gearshift Strategy — Sharper, Faster, More Engaging
Ferrari has also reworked the transmission behavior.
Key improvements include:
- Faster gear changes under acceleration
- More decisive shifts in performance driving modes
- Enhanced responsiveness at higher engine speeds
In manual mode, the experience becomes even more engaging — particularly beyond mid-range revs, where the car feels more alive and reactive
This is where the Purosangue begins to feel closer to Ferrari’s traditional sports cars.
Sound — The Emotional Core
A Ferrari is not complete without its soundtrack.
The Handling Speciale configuration introduces a revised acoustic profile:
- More pronounced sound at startup
- Enhanced engine tone under acceleration
- Greater presence at higher revs
The naturally aspirated V12 becomes even more expressive — reinforcing the emotional connection between driver and machine
The V12 Remains Untouched — And That Matters
At the heart of the Purosangue remains one of the last of its kind:
A 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12.
Delivering:
- Around 725 hp
- Linear power delivery up to high revs
- A driving experience rooted in mechanical purity
Ferrari has chosen not to alter the engine itself.
Instead, it enhances how that power is delivered and experienced.
And that decision defines the entire philosophy of Handling Speciale.
Subtle Visual Distinction
Visually, the changes are understated — but intentional.
Exclusive elements include:
- Unique wheel designs with refined finishes
- Carbon fiber exterior details
- Darkened exhaust tips
- Discreet badging and interior identifiers
These touches ensure that the car remains elegant…
…but unmistakably different for those who know what to look for
Performance — Still a Benchmark
Even without mechanical changes to the engine, the Purosangue remains a high-performance machine:
- 0–100 km/h in approximately 3.3 seconds
- Top speed exceeding 310 km/h
But the true improvement lies not in raw numbers…
…it lies in how the car feels at speed.
Everyday Ferrari, Elevated
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Purosangue is its duality.
It is:
- A high-performance sports car
- A practical four-seat vehicle
- A long-distance grand tourer
The Handling Speciale configuration enhances the first…
…without compromising the others.
A More Focused Purosangue
With this configuration, Ferrari does not attempt to turn the Purosangue into something it is not.
It remains:
- Refined
- usable
- versatile
But now, it is also:
- sharper
- more reactive
- more engaging
It is the Purosangue for drivers who want to feel more of the road — and more of the car.
The Evolution of Ferrari’s Philosophy
The Handling Speciale configuration reflects a broader shift within Ferrari.
Performance is no longer defined solely by power.
It is defined by:
- Response
- control
- emotion
And above all…
Connection.
