The stupidest thing is how Ferrari has historically gone to great lengths to make their cars sleek and pointy despite the need to accommodate big-ass radiators and engine intakes, yet just when using an electric drivetrain makes ‘sleek and pointy’ easy for them, they come out with this boxy shit instead!
And even worse, it’s a sedan (which Ferrari has never made before). WTF.
Clearly, what happened here is that the bean-counters insisted that Ferrari needed to diversify into new market segments (both more practical cars and EVs) but somebody at the top hated the idea, so they did it in the most sabotaged, begrudging way possible. They didn’t have the courage to make a proper two-seat electric sports car.
The new model departs from the look of typical Ferraris as the Italian brand’s first ever five-seater,
I guess maybe I shouldn’t have read that and assumed. I knew they had 2+2 two-door coupes, but didn’t know they’d made any four-seaters with four doors.
Yeah the current Purosangue is a 4 door SUV. I assumed it was a 5 seater until now.
The back doors are pretty well hidden, in the SUV, but I think I prefer the styling of the EV to many of the recent Ferraris. The suicide door are stupid though.
I didn’t know the Purosangue existed. That’s some WTFery all on its own! IMO the only kind of SUV those sorts of high-performance brands should be making is something like the Lamborghini LM002 or Ford Raptor: a fast proper off-roader, like a street-going trophy truck.
Unless the Purosangue can credibly finish the Paris-Dakar Rally, it’s a goddamn disgrace.
I’ve seen this on an electric Dodge Challenger (which is also quite ugly in my opinion). This hole and the wing above it act as a spoiler and fast cars need all the downforce they can get, so I guess this will become a norm for fast electric cars in the future.
Like, they just couldn’t be bothered to make it good looking?

Ferrari has in fact made several sedans.
And a station wagon / estate.

Dakar? Hah. It’s so low that you can get nose lift as an option. To clear curbs. In an SUV.
Well Sir Jony Ive did play a part in that design so yeah its shit.
Porsche just keeps not fucking up royally and winning by default
Disagree, I love the way it looks!
Edit: I mean, whoo!.. is that a hole instead of a front grill, that goes under the hood and over the windshield? Now that’s radical, man!
I like it too… There are dozens of us! Dozens!

It is weird how they made it look kinda lumpy. Like it looks better than some EVs but I’m a bit surprised this is coming from Ferrari.
Are EV engine sizes that crazy that you need a larger housing for them?
I think it looks like a six year old tried to draw one of the flatter Porsches from memory.
I don’t think it looks bad.
Yeah, it just looks generic. It should look like a fuckin g Ferrari though!
They didn’t even make it red so we’d know it was a Ferrari lmao
