Car and Driver has driven the Purosangue Handling Speciale, a version of Ferrari’s V12 four-door with revised active-damper tuning. The headline detail is that the upgrade is largely about controlling motion more precisely rather than simply bolting on stiffer hardware.
Ferrari says the tuning reduces body movement while preserving the character of its 715-hp naturally aspirated V12. It is not a substitute for a true three-row SUV, but it is a fascinating engineering contrast: the same category of comfort-versus-control problem appears in every large performance vehicle.
Do this: read the driving impressions and compare Ferrari’s active-suspension philosophy with the predictive-damping claims in the updated Mercedes GLS.
