    The high-riding Silver contraption you see in the image above comes from Giugiaro but Ferrari ended-up making the right choice by selecting instead the design of the FF proposed by Pininfarina.

    This! It will never happen, but if isn’t something very similar it will just be another pointless SUV. Go nuts Ferrari!

    Of course, having said that, whatever they produce will be the best selling Ferrari of all time. People just love SUVs.

    The two difference Purosangue mules that I spotted. The first one is having a very open rear bumper, where the Exhaust pipes are really good visible. Does someone rezoning those?

    The second one is having a normale styled bumper with lower placed exhaust pipes.

    What about the front? The grill is very low in comparison to the normal one from the Levante. It gives me the feeling that the engine needs a lot of fresh air, like.. the V12 from the F12/812! It's just a feeling, but feel free to reply on my theory

    This still looks to be a heap of Maserati body parts over the Ferrari chassis, running gear. I dont think there is any Ferrari body work there at all the interior most likely is Maserati too at this point

    Everything is from Maserati, but wheel arches are wider! So there is definitely something that Ferrari wants to test, but.. is it the engine? Suspension? Transmission? 4WD system?

    I would say Im 99% sure it has all Ferrari hardware under the body
    We are 6 to 12 months away from it being made public so they would need to be at that stage now

    The same thing happened actually with the V6, I spotted it already in her final shape. But after 6-7 months you will see only the heavily camouflaged testcars on the roads.
    The Purosangue body is already finished inside the factory, so the only thing they have to do, is connecting all the single pieces

    I would totally agree on the V6 and love the photo's you got of her. I'd say in 3 to 6 months the Purosangue will be testing in the same form.

    Since April of 2020 I've counted eight different Purosangue mules that have been spotted and below you find their pictures. Seven of the mules have different plate numbers and when comparing the camouflages they wear they are different in each car. So many mules spotted in one year in different countries and environments and each one showing specific idiosyncrasies, is the proof that Ferrari has been doing a lot of testing. My guess is that there will be a V12 version of the Purosangue but there was a very wise sportsman that said "predictions can only be 100 per cent accurate after the game has ended".

    No info concerning the sound. However, the longer hood compared to a Levante suggests Ferrari will have enough room to fit a twelve-cylinder engine.

    While that is great to hear is that a wise move with all the changes Ferrari have already had to make due to the new Eco standards

    Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe those plates are attached to a driver, not to a car. When I was in Italy I was getting my ML serviced, and the test driver hooked up his squared licence plate in a plastic holder to the rear wiper. When I asked him why he was doing that while my car already had licence plates, he said this was his plate as a test driver.

    I think some pictures of the Swedish mule were showing a bit of the back row of seats, and it definitely looked a lot like Lusso seats.

    Most of the mules already spotted with different plate numbers had also different camouflages. However, I've already seen pictures of two different mules that have the same plate number and that could explain what you've mentioned about the plate numbers being attached to a different test drivers.

    After doing a bit of research on the plate numbers we see on the Purosangue mules the conclusion I got to is the following. These test plates are known as "Targa Prova" and their purpose is allowing the temporary circulation of vehicles, assigning insurance coverage without a registration certificate. In Italy "Targa Prova" plates are issued regionally and my presumption is that the first number after the first three letters XOp identifies the issuing region. This test plate can be transferred from one vehicle to another and that could explain why we've seen two different Purosangue mules with the same "Targa Prova".
