Ferrari Launches Handling Speciale Upgrade for Purosangue, As If the V-12 SUV Isn't Already a Beast
The upgraded V-12 SUV gets retuned suspension, quicker shifts and new styling, with Ferrari saying body movements are cut 10 percent.
Ferrari announced the Purosangue Handling Speciale, an upgraded SUV configuration designed to enhance driver engagement through refined suspension, transmission tuning, and styling changes.
Engineers tweaked the active suspension to reduce body movements by 10 percent, while transmission tuning now delivers quicker, "more decisive" gearchanges in "Race" and "ESC-Off" modes.
The V-12 engine remains unchanged, routing 715 hp and 528 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels; manual mode shifts feel "more sporting" above 5500 rpm.
Visual changes include diamond-cut 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels, carbon-fiber fender shields, matte black exhaust tips, and a cabin plaque marking the Handling Speciale variant.
Expected for the 2027 model year, the Handling Speciale will likely exceed the 2026 base price of $428,636, potentially reaching as much as $500,000.
Recalibrated suspension, changed faster and enhanced sound: the new optional configuration pushes the thoroughbred towards an even more dynamic behavior without sacrificing versatility
