Ferrari presented the Handling Speciale, a new and exclusive configuration available on request for the Ferrari Purosangue, developed to further intensify the sporting character of the first four‑door, four‑seater Ferrari in the history of the Prancing Horse. The Handling Speciale configuration has been created to deliver an even sportier driving experience by sharpening the car’s mechanical and electronic responses, without compromising the everyday versatility that defines the Ferrari Purosangue. It is intended for those seeking a set‑up with an even stronger focus on sportiness, while retaining the ability to use the car daily and in any context.

The hallmark attributes of full four‑seat accommodation, the elevated yet sporty driving position and overall cabin usability remain unchanged. The underlying architecture of the Ferrari Purosangue in Handling Speciale configuration continues to be the highly acclaimed four‑door layout based on a transaxle architecture, with a naturally-aspirated V12 engine in a front‑mid position and the gearbox mounted at the rear, combined with the latest‑generation vehicle dynamics systems. 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 Ferrari 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 5,500 rpm), increasing driver engagement. The in‑cabin sound has likewise been optimised through a dedicated setting, more pronounced at start‑up and under acceleration, further highlighting the character of the naturally-aspirated V12.

The Ferrari Purosangue in Handling Speciale configuration also introduces a number of exclusive styling elements that make it instantly recognisable without altering its proportions. 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.

The introduction of this new configuration enhances the sporting spirit of a project that has radically transformed the global landscape of luxury high‑riding sports cars, while preserving its identity as a vehicle capable of combining the versatility of a four‑seater with the dynamic behaviour typical of Ferrari front‑mid‑engined cars.
