Ferrari Purosangue Review - A huge misstep or a smash hit from Maranello?

[@CiroDeSiena]

Thank you kindly :)

The Ferrari Purosangue is designed to offer a unique mix of top-level comfort, everyday usability, and the high-performance driving experience Ferrari is known for. Its standout feature is an advanced suspension system that’s a world-first, using cutting-edge technology to make the ride smoother and the car handle better. This suspension system, developed with Multimatic, combines an electric motor and a hydraulic shock absorber to actively adjust how the car responds to bumps, curves, and other road conditions. The electric motor works quickly and precisely, helping the car stay stable during sharp turns and reducing the effect of uneven roads. Special sensors and Ferrari’s smart control systems fine-tune everything in real-time, improving cornering, reducing body roll, and ensuring the tyres grip the road better. Another feature is a new front suspension design that makes the steering more stable and less affected by bumps or braking. In simple terms, the Purosangue combines Ferrari’s legendary performance with advanced technology to deliver a smoother, safer, and more comfortable drive.

This review is the equivalent of the Emirates A380 coming in to land at OR Tambo during a MAJOR Thunderstorm, after being in a holding pattern, then when ATC finally gives the go-ahead for the landing, the Captain - who is ex-SAA (the best of the best), takes control from the Senior First Officer - whose leg it was to originally fly - then butters the hell out of the landing, putting that beast down on the ground like only South African captain could. Ciro - The Captain This car - The A380 This Review - delivered like a landing that only experience could ever pull off. You can’t buy this level of expertise. It only comes with time. You legend! This review was executed astoundingly. Thank you.

[@don-ricodasilva5205]

The Ferrari Purosangue's active suspension system is like having a smart assistant for your car’s suspension. Here's how it works in simple terms: 1. Sensors monitor the road and your driving: The system constantly checks what's happening-how bumpy the road is, how sharp the turns are, and how fast you're going. 2. Motors adjust the suspension in real-time: Instead of just springs and shocks passively absorbing bumps, this system uses small electric motors to actively push or pull the suspension. It works super quickly to keep the car balanced. 3. Keeps the car steady: When you’re taking a sharp turn, it prevents the car from leaning too much (reducing body roll). On bumpy roads, it adjusts to make sure the tires stay firmly on the ground for better grip and comfort. In short, it’s like having an expert constantly tweaking the suspension so your ride feels smooth and the car handles like a dream.

[@CiroDeSiena]

Brilliant explanation!

[@radeberadebe8528]

Man you got it right semi hydra electric system as smart assist system, you nailed it mate I don’t need to explain further get that cars merchandise

[@nealprinsloo8076]

Here goes my best explanation… The Ferrari Purosangue uses a cutting-edge suspension system (it’s name is not necessary to mention) that adjusts in real time to keep the car stable and comfortable, no matter the conditions. It doesn’t rely on traditional anti-roll bars, so it handles corners smoothly and provides a super comfortable ride. Paired with its all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, the system ensures great grip and agility on any road. Whether you’re cruising in comfort or driving fast, the suspension adapts perfectly to match your needs. So this is a win in innovation and a win in Ferrari’s attempt to compete once more! I vote yes and I hope you pick me to win some of your super awesome merch!

[@Carscoza]

Damn that was a good explanation! You are certainly in the running :)

[@kudzaincube1022]

Hi Ciro. my explannation is as follows. The ferrari purosangue suspension with the active geared dampers and how it works is basically how the human body works. Where are other suspension react top changes in terrain curves and bumps. As a human being you use your brain (predictive analysis) in the case of the suv thats the sensors and the computer box of the car to proactively adjust the suspension to the requirements of the coming terrain. So its a bit like how you climb up stairs is different from how you climbn down. How you sprint on a flat field is different to how you run up a hill. So basically in toyota language its the vvti or suspension. Its suspension with intelligence and gears which is proactive.

[@sandisongwenya4667]

I've missed Ciro's reviews! Welcome back!! I think they hit the nail on the nead, most of the people buying it have old money and that feel is probably what they want. Hats off to Ferrari

[@tsheposeforo8755]

Oh Ciro, how you've been missed!

[@CiroDeSiena]

Ah thanks man. I never really left, just took a break 😊

[@kyleleroux812]

The Italian Stallion is back!! Great car too!

[@ElishaMukumba]

3:43 Here's my attempt. It has hydraulic dampers that are combined with electric motors into integrated units which then forms the suspension. These then use sensors and control units to continuously adjust the suspension's behavior in real time taking in inputs from all around the car (sensors, the driver's inputs, etc).

[@Carscoza]

Nice work!

[@Under_Construction100]

Excellent video Ciro, also good to have you back.

[@Tapsy2003-tq3en]

The suspension on the Ferrari Purosangue is like the car’s way of keeping the ride smooth and stable, no matter what the road throws at it….It's an adaptive system, so it can change how it works based on how you’re driving. …If you’re cruising, it softens up for a chill, comfy ride. But if you’re pushing it hard, like on a twisty road, it tightens up to keep the car solid and sharp. Basically, it gives you the best of both worlds: comfort when you need it, and performance when you want it…. All in all Churo the purosangue is one of the best current handling SUV’s because of its unique driving system. Plus it lasts longer than air suspension 😂😂😂

[@lionsdenentertainment8457]

Here's how i understand it: The Ferrari Purosangue has a very clever suspension system that makes the car handle incredibly well while still being comfortable. Here’s how it works: It adjusts itself constantly: Each wheel has its own motor that can move the suspension up or down super quickly. This keeps the car stable whether you’re taking tight corners, accelerating hard, or braking. No need for anti-roll bars: Unlike many cars, it doesn’t use traditional anti-roll bars. Instead, it uses high-tech parts that can react instantly to keep the car flat and balanced, even in sharp turns. Smooth and sporty: The system knows when you want a smooth, comfy ride (like on a normal drive) and when you want to feel sporty (like on twisty roads). It adjusts automatically to suit your driving style. Always in control: It also works with the car’s other systems to give you the best grip and keep everything feeling safe and fun, no matter the road conditions. In short, it’s like having a super-smart system that makes sure the car feels steady and comfortable at all times while still letting you enjoy Ferrari-level performance, and will definitely break the bank when it eventually breaks😂😂.

[@mohamedwalele5235]

Simply put: When you turn right, the weight of the car shifts on to the right wheels. Which compresses the air or the liquid in the shock so the car leans to the right. Manufacturers make the suspension stiffer so it leans less. But this makes the ride harsh. Imagine you're on a long right turn and as you enter the car leans right. A motor pumps air/liquid into the shock to keep the car level and reverses any leaning. This way the car doesn't lean and the shock doesn't have to be hard.

Fantastic Review of the Purosangue. That "sound" of the V12, makes me smile. There are no replacement for displacement. I will never buy a hybrid. I like a beast like this. "Pure blood" These hybrids will expire somewhere in the future because of the battery. This Ferrari is timeless...

[@miks564]

10:18 My current SUV has a 50/50 weight distribution per axle. Might be hard to achieve, but those Italians 'known not to care about details' sometimes seem to care a little. Even the battery sits centered in the back, below the cargo area. 😊 11:56 ...actually, it is an Alfa Romeo Stelvio, also a SUV, also with a front engine mounted behind the front axle. ...so, it seems the Purosangue might not be able to hold that title after all. ...and Ferrari should know it, the Stelvio platform was designed by the same Ferrari engineer that designed the 458 Speciale. EDIT: Not trying to compare the two. ...just commenting on the weight distribution detail and front engine mount position. 😁

The Ferrari purosangue suspension uses multiple accelerometers , sensors and brushless motors on every corner of the vehicle and the system is activated when a corner is detected it will raise or lower any corner of the vehicle independently to maximize cornering dynamics it uses neither pneumatic nor air suspension . its a world first co developed by a Canadian company named multimatic

[@arthurthorne3664]

This is an advanced active suspension system that uses electric motors and hydraulic dampers for real-time adjustments. There are sensors that detect movements like bumps or cornering, and a control system processes the data to instantly stabilize the car. The electric motors quickly push or pull the suspension, counteracting body roll, bouncing, or pitching, while a low-friction screw mechanism ensures efficiency and compact design. This setup reduces the car's roll center in corners, improves grip, and enhances steering precision. This actively manages body and wheel motion to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride.

[@muhammedameer3416]

The Ferrari Purosangue comes with an advanced active suspension system that’s all about delivering the perfect blend of performance and comfort. Powered by a 48-volt system, electric motors at each wheel work with Ferrari’s predictive control software to adjust the suspension on the fly. This means the car stays flat and composed during sharp turns, adapts its ride height as needed, and keeps grip levels at their best. Whether you’re pushing it hard or just cruising, the system ensures a smooth, stable ride, making high-performance driving feel effortless and refined. (I’ll be waiting for my merch 🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️)
