Ferrari’s two-seat sports cars might be the brand’s identity, but the Italian automaker has always catered to customers who want to bring more than one passenger along for the ride.
For one thing, there is an extra pair of doors, rear-hinged ones that provide direct access to the pair of rear bucket seats.
Underneath that long hood lives a 6.5 L naturally aspirated V12, but mounted back in the chassis such that this is technically a front-mid engined layout.
You’ll probably want to be in Sport to experience that; it’s the most extreme of the Purosangue’s settings, for you won’t find a Race mode on the steering wheel-mounted manettino dial that toggles through drive modes, although you will find one for Ice instead.
A second dial is found between the rear seats with the same functionality.

How
Summarized version
With the Purosangue, the rear passengers have been given something of an upgrade. Because there are four seats, you can share the experience with three passengers: The squeals of delight from happy young neighbors getting their first ride in a Ferrari were a real high point of our time with the car.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Ferrari’s two-seat sports cars might be the brand’s identity, but the Italian automaker has always catered to customers who want to bring more than one passenger along for the ride. Its first hatchback was still a three-door, though, and more practical for carrying cargo rather than humans in the rear. But with the Purosangue, the rear passengers have been given something of an upgrade.
For one thing, there is an extra pair of doors, rear-hinged ones that provide direct access to the pair of rear bucket seats. It’s also probably accurate that Ferrari says the Purosangue is not an SUV but an FUV—a Ferrari Utility Vehicle.
Underneath that long hood lives a 6.5 L naturally aspirated V12, but mounted back in the chassis such that this is technically a front-mid engined layout.
Which is something, considering the fact that the engine doesn’t redline until 8,250 rpm. You’ll probably want to be in Sport to experience that; it’s the most extreme of the Purosangue’s settings, for you won’t find a Race mode on the steering wheel-mounted manettino dial that toggles through drive modes, although you will find one for Ice instead.
The steering is heavier than something like a 296 but still feels direct, with good feedback of the road conditions as the front wheels are experiencing them. In Sport, you can feel the chassis control systems and the electronic differentials doing their thing to tighten your line if you’re steering and adding power at the same time.
A second dial is found between the rear seats with the same functionality.
