Ferrari introduced the Handling Speciale upgrade option for its Purosangue SUV in early May 2026, enhancing the vehicle's handling dynamics [1]. The new package includes active suspension calibrations aimed at reducing body roll, pitch, and yaw. These changes are designed to make the 16.3-foot (4.9-meter) SUV feel more compact and responsive on the road [1].
The upgrade is expected to give the Purosangue a sharper steering feel, providing a more agile driving experience for owners [1]. Ferrari originally entered the SUV market with the Purosangue when it launched the model in 2023 [1].
SUVs account for about 60% of new vehicle sales in Europe, a larger share than in the US and China where SUVs make up roughly 40% of sales [1]. This growing popularity of SUVs underpins Ferrari's move into this segment.
The Purosangue remains one of the sportiest SUVs in its class, combining typical Ferrari performance with SUV practicality. The Handling Speciale upgrade brings further refinement to its driving dynamics, aligning with Ferrari's focus on performance even in its utility models.
The Handling Speciale upgrade became available to customers starting in early May 2026, marking the latest enhancement in the Purosangue’s lifecycle [1].
