Ferrari Purosangue | evo REVIEWS

Ferrari’s first-ever four-door passenger car has arrived, costing from £313,220 and sending 715bhp of naturally-aspirated V12 power to all four wheels. To find out how it compares to its closest rivals from Aston Martin and Lamborghini, Jethro Bovingdon puts it to the test on the snow covered roads of Italy.

The way Jethro is calm and reviewing while drifting fast through thick snow in a new car, the constant countersteering, I can't believe it, a tiny mistake and he'd spin out, mans got crazy skill

[@SevCars]

It's not really that hard to drift on ice, you control your angle with the throttle and adjust steering input accordingly. There is plenty of leeway. But it still takes a driver with skill to do.

It's the autmotive equivalent of rubbing your head and patting your stomach. Or was it the other way around ? He writes very well also, which is often missed.

[@KUROSHURA]

@@zakelwe That’s very true, I’m an American and I used to always buy Evo and Car Magazine respectively for their Writing. Jethro’s Writing would take me from the dreary weather and congested traffic of London through the Channel Tunnel to the South of France to let a Ferrari 575M finally open up on some back roads.

[@vikram.SumerSingh]

EVO is the best- So many reviews on YT dropped together- most of them talking about the feature list and buttons and other BS- This is the review that actually tells a story of what this car feels- EVO you are a class apart!

[@einarbb68]

I really liked knowing about -- tester's impression for driving that Ferrari in the snow. In CarMagazine, the tester didn't bother to do the same --- only granting his impressions of how the car drove, on a dry road. For giving driving impressions, of every different road surface on test; I rejoice. Now I feel I genuinely have some realistic impression of how that car drives like, thanks. Yes I agree it looks absolutely great - I also agree, this haptic controls - the way you describe 'em, I'd probably hate 'em too.

[@TheBowerbird]

Really clear and most excellent review! Jethro is amazing.

[@howardmckenna]

As a die hard Lambo fan, I must concede that I prefer this to the Urus. This is PURE Ferrari DNA. Full on V12 drivetrain. A standalone car, not a chassis sharing gathering of parts from a parent company. The design has grown on me (rather quickly!) after understanding all the aero. What was just black plastic (especially those wheel arches) in preliminary shots are now clever scoops and ducts that I "get". When I see a Urus (or similar), I'm impressed. But that's just by their sheer presence. With the Purosangué I'm full-on impressed!!!

[@scottleech9571]

Watched every review of this and this was the most honest review so thank you.

[@mx19idlewilder]

Ooohhh, so good to see Jethro back! I stopped buying EVO some time ago when Harry stepped down as a grand master and Henry and Jethro left. I'd love to see again Henry and Jethro on the videos and reviewing stuff in EVO. I only hope Dicki Meaden is still there.

[@ezcatch77]

You are one of my fave reviewers, ever. To answer your question about an everyday Ferrari - in a perfect world they wouldn’t need to do this. But to manage the business for future growth so they can keep making the special cars they make, the competition has proven the recipe of SUV’s financing future growth. Can’t be a purist to the point of missing financial targets - quick look at history of Lotus, RR, Aston. That this car offers the delicacy of driving their roadcars are known for (no pounding of pavement to submission) is a high watermark achieved by this car. Forza Ferrari !

[@CLaFong]

Summed up so well by that last line. "If I never drove one again, I wouldn't really upset me. Not driving one of the mid engined cars or front engine V12 coupes, that would be a full on, Shakespearean tragedy."

[@marknorton5951]

Keep in mind that everyone buying this car will already have several Ferraris, it fits the bill perfectly to broaden their Ferrari driving experience. I think it is superb.

[@zakelwe]

You came late to the party but you did the best video summarising it completly It helps that Jethro has a world of experience, not over awed and can peddle a car. I disagree with him though, like I disagree with him on soft tops cannot be as good asports cars as hard tops. He has the ultimate car he wishes for in his blood. Evo has some great talent, need to get Henry back into the fold, again. Evo testers are rather like ducks that go astray, best flock ever.

Love what you do Jethro. To me, it’s a shame that Ferrari has transitioned from the four-seater models of old like the 456/612/FF/GTC4 to an SUV, but the Purosangue will sell like hot cakes. As long as it pays for the Le Mans Hypercar racing programme…

[@blancani7v723]

[@Tenhing_Eth]

[@huwprice881]

Very clever of Ferrari, more of a more practical Lusso, with the wonderful sonorous NA V12, the clever active suspension, adaptive 4WD, transverse layout for F/R distribution, true four seater practicality and luggage space and all wrapped in a beautiful body that is not an SUV or a direct comparator with the Urus or anything else. The price is scary, but it’s sold out so Ferrari won’t care. I want one!

[@heyhayhay247]

It's an SUV no matter how much Ferrari insist that it isn't

[@stevewight2000]

[@Misanoblue]

Im not a fan of SUVs , but this , this is special.

[@christianpratt]

Interesting comment about the inherent qualities of the nat-asp V12 being, perhaps, out of step with the motive requirements of a 2.5 tonne four door, ie. needing a slug of low-down torque. Maybe it’s the wrong engine after all…

[@a1_med]

ngl i have mixed feeling about it , doesnt give me the same excitement as the urus when it came out but I definitely prefer the purosangue than the so common dated urus now.

I say good on Ferrari for making it. It looks stunning. Wasn’t my view when I first saw it but god it’s a looker for the class. This is a brilliant car apart from the infotainment. As wether Ferrari should have built it. Why not. Does it spoil their heritage. Absolutely not. Bottom line is all the purists will portably hate it. But for the Ferrari owners that want to take their friends on a tour or drive in a Ferrari then this is the perfect vehicle by a mile

[@mykolapelyp9065]

Although EVO makes the best cars content, I strongly disagree with the verdict, I mean, is way to harsh, interviewer knew what he was to review - SAC, People that like brand don't need to buy either cayenne or range just to have more comfort, IF you can have that SCREAMING V8-V10-V12! Ferrari inspired engine - I'LL TAKE IT!!!! Plus, YOU STILL HAVE A FERRARI, so thats about that, "you need a daily, but then, you need a daily for your other daily, but then you need other daily for your daily for your other daily..." Of course is not wild tool or something, but SAC: - Be comfortable in any situation - Still be able to beat 98% of cars on the road both straight and turns - DIDN'T MEANT to be used on track days which is fine, I would not track day even on super car, maximum iconic Nurburring - Perfect ALL IN for any weather condition and circumstances - The best possible audio systems, the best saloon, handful of options I have sports bike, yeah is more sexy but is just dumb, you don't have a lot of roads to unleash the beast and most of the time you revvving 1-2 shifts and thas it and only to get to curvy roads you got to drive 1 hour straight prior to that, for the rest of the time is just DAMN HARD RIDE and the worst thing, you don't get to appreciate every time, sometimes you just don't want to go fast and what you left with is great sound and super cool appearance, is appearance worth it? Sometimes I own an X6 with v8 biturbo engine, IS BEAUTIFUL and lightning fast, including in the cornering, super stable, planted as an F1 bolid, Yes, is heavy but I don't care, it does not lean at all, you just direct it and it goes, sure, for a Sunday car I'd get some Mclaren P1 but hey, you got to have liquid business which means a lot of sacrifice, I'd better be deceived that my x6 is real coupe for EVERY DAY, than to sacrifice my time for some dumb money just to have real supercar coup
