2024 Ferrari Purosangue Review // Why It’s Worth $400,000
Grab your own pair of Piloti’s for 15% off HERE: piloti.com/discount/THROTTLE1...
The 2024 Ferrari Purosangue (US$400,000, ~CAD$500,000) is the first four-door, four-seater to ever come out of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy. A ferocious naturally-aspirated V12 sits up front-mid, creating 715 horsepower with a stunning 8250 rpm redline. It also has a unique active suspension system that Ferrari claims is a world first, and a trans-axle transmission layout to help achieve its target 49:51% weight distribution. But all that tech, power, and cabin room seems to weigh a lot.
Can the engineering and chassis overcome the Purosangue’s size and weight to still provide a signature Ferrari experience? And how does Ferrari’s first foray into the world of super SUVs stack up against the competition? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

They dont have them in 15's U.S. 😢
Please conduct one for me
I should be grateful, thought nothing could replace my childhood traumas but I stand corrected
Ima need a few sessions
I just need a loan from the bank hold on
The overheating issue for any new car at any price is an embarrassment.
It is not a new car ... it is a Ferrari. 🤣
I mean i can understand if its a 50k car. But Ferrari? Seriously? 🫡
Of all the Ferarris to have a touch of classic in them (engine failure), I really wouldn't expect it from the SUV
@@arsh_07 *$500
But Ferrari didn't blow up any cars at LeMans - so that's the compromise they made.
Throttle house and Ferrari, the epitome of a toxic relationship
But they do love the gtc4 lusso from what I remember, so it’s not all bad
Lol
@@EnzoNotFerrari21 isnt that the v12 station wagon (shooting brake)? Everyone loves that thing..its insane
@@huleyn135exactly that reason lmao
Ahahahahah not Toxic relashiONship, but a ... love relashiONship with the uNcoMmoN😅
The only thing that bothers me when I'm watching your videos is the fact that I hadn't come across your channel sooner. Absolutely glorious. Keep up the good work.
Another great video/review. You guys make it worth every second till the end, there is no room for boringness or temptation to watch the next before it finishes. And by the way, thanks for promoting Portugal as an excellent shoe manufacturer. They are proudly Made in Portugal (as me).
My hopes of seeing Margot in this video were sky high for about 10 seconds before my expectations were blown away completely by James.
You just have to do what the rest of the crew did that evening: drink enough wine and he'll be a good enough Margot Robbie to be happily "blown away"
I was expecting Jason Camissa
I think it says something about this channel that both you and I actually considered they might be serious
@@alles_klarI saw this comment before it happened and I still kind of believed it lol
@@Ficon same :)
I'm convinced James' dad is a high level Ferrari exec. That's the only way they keep inviting them to test Ferraris 😂
😅
I mean they still speak a lot of good about Ferrari so that would also explain why they are invited.
@@StonedNoob Perche?! With a Ferraari you only speak good. No bad. Else no invite. Va bene? Bene va
They basically have nothing but praise for the driving experience.
@@FirestormX9pov you're luca montezemolo in 2011 when Chris harris does that column in jalopnik
I love these guys because they shoot from the hip being honest..sometimes brutally honest paired with comic relief 😂 Keep up the good work fellas!!
You two work so well together. Keep up the awesome work
I can't imagine hitting the backroads running against the competition cars and having to stop so your $400,000 car can cool down as they leave you behind.
There are some pretty backroads in Northern Norway or Alaska, right? 😉
Even with that aside..... 400k (before options) for an SUV that WILL NOT outrun a Urus Perf or a Cayenne GT in the twistys or on a Swiss ski slope, that also have the same practicality as the rari, and are way less money is silly to me. This whole "youre paying to join the Ferrari family, and that is priceless" BS needs to stop. Cool car but i hate that the GTC4/FF lineage had to die for this.... and 400k for a crossover is insane.
@Fastvoice it will absolutely demolish both a Urus P and a Cayenne GT. Everybody that tested it said it's a lot faster and better handling than both
@@mstrax0258 Why do you tell me that? Did I write something about the competition?
@@CITRUS-- i don't care. it's a v12, shut up and take my money ferrari. would i say if i had the money :D
I knew it was coming and yet I still lost it when 'Margot' said hello 😂
🤣had me on the floor
"Margot" was giving me anxiety with that wine glass!
I used to work at the Lamborghini factory in 1992-1993, if I had the money to buy this Ferrari I'd strip away the Ferrari logos and put Mazda logos on it and drive it around, however, I'd only drive it during winter time so it doesn't overheat. When I worked at Lamborghini I noticed that employees from Ferrari would quit Ferrari and come work for Lamborghini, there were also Lamborghini employees that would quit and go work for Ferrari, and some of the mechanics would quit Lamborghini and Ferrari and go to work for Ducati.

Guys, I love your reviews, and your commentary is so much fun 😄
Pretty cool that you reviewed the Hyundai Kona after all these years.
Very scary the resemblance.
What are you talking about? They just reviewed the Mazda CX-30.
@@bagofsunshine3916no its definitely the Kona, sporty version.
You’re comparing this gorgeous car to a Hyundai. I think you should schedule an eye appointment.
An engine swapped Kona at that.
As Jeremy Clarkson once said: When Ferrari's F1 team is garbage, their road cars are magnificent.
You two are loopy, absolutely brilliant. Keep up the good work.
The first minute was great!!! Awesome highlights
I really love these Italian landscape transition shots/montages
Bella Italia 🇮🇹
Just goes to show that journalistic honesty and integrity can still be rewarded. Well done on getting your hands on another Ferrari after the 296 GTB!
Fantastic .. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you fellas enjoying yourselves .. great info , great entertainment.. more please ✌🏻
I remember about 8 to 10 years ago, the head of Ferrari said they would never make an SUV. I think that is why Ferrari is working hard not to call this an SUV.
You guys are becoming what Top Gear was in the late 90s early/mid 2000's - Keep up the work fellas!!
Jeremy and Richard with a James May to join them soon.
I'd love to be that guy
Stop… this is a huge exaggeration
Not quite, in a cheezy kinda way maybe..lol
Come on Mate You can’t mix apple with oranges
The comedy in your guys videos is absolutely hilarious you guys do it like no one else love the channel fella’s
You’re production value on these videos are so good.
Actually I’m glad Lamborghinu didn’t put a V12 on the Urus that would’ve make it more expensive and exclusive, and that what’s not Lamborghini’s intention, it became the best seller and the V8 twin turbo is a big reason for that.
Honesty and transparency will always be valued over cheap praise. That's why Ferrari will continue to send you press vehicles. Great job TH!
Ironically i think if theres a manufacture, that would take cheap praise over honesty and transparency any day of the week, it would be Ferrari lol
Bingo
Ferrari? The very same brand that will sue you if you look at their cars the wrong way? Lmao.
you're wrong, ferrari is one of the few brands that won't let car and driver and motortrend magazine test their vehicles. Hell the Ferrari FF and GTC4 lusso are around starting from 2009 and they never instrument tested one.
then sue you if you actually buy one and drive it
The fact that Throttle House has not only re-created but has arguably one-upped the Top Gear vibe is an astounding accomplishment. Well done!
They have captured the feeling. I wouldn’t say one-upped tho
ok you need to slow down throttle house is good and very respectable but they are nowhere near the original trio top gear
The little moment where they were talking about James crying was the most Clarkson/Hammond interaction.
@@syvilized7112 they kinda are, being OG or nostalgic dont make them invincible
yep
Kudos to Ferrari for daring to be different in every way...and yes, we'll treat the overheating as an aberration. Well done to Ferrari and to the Boys for yet again an excellent review.
And the flapping in the wind hood? Is that an "aberration" too?
i thought i was the only one who saw that the hood was rattling over the bumps 400k car my ass@@krane15
Outside temperature +33 to +36 C, twisty mountain road, dynamic driving. Not something to be experienced for the first time, I mean in other cars. What shocked me is the warning light for high oil temperature (5:48), which, obviously, preceded the high coolant temperature warning, twice. So, if you have one of these, stay away from the twisty mountain roads in the summer, be gentle to the throttle pedal, or at least, turn off AC and open windows. Any other surprises & warning & limitations for $400,000?
Noticed the overheating well before you guys mentioned it and was afraid it wasn't going to be called out. Thanks again for being honest, especially when dealing with... that company.
when ? I keep going back, and see nothing ?
How did you see it before they called it out? It doesn't show a temp gauge on the dash that I can see 5:08
@@deadkemper 5:46 look at the dash (happens at 5:48)

@@solocamo3654 ah thanks! Guess I'm not going nuts, I was looking for a real gauge hidden somewhere, all I could spot was that temp icon and then the actual message!
They very well might be homicide doors . I would definitely call this a crossover.
Nothing deep, James just says it at 3:46
@@larrystrutmann You missed the joke, bud.
Excellent, well played pun.
Yup, it's another bloated ugly crossover for sure - looks like a Ferrari that has been sitting at the all you can eat buffet for a few months.
@@alexamerri2Silly me, i actually ended up replying on a wrong comment 💀. I did get the doors joke xD, hilarious.
Great video. One correction - the valve covers aren't anodized. They're just painted with a wrinkle finish. Anodizing is smooth and looks completely different...
I absolutely love tasteful sponsorships instead of gaudy ads. Exceptional vehicle and video.
The Big Short reference had me dying of laughter, holy hell that was fantastic 😂 I mean if Ferrari wanted to not make a super SUV/Crossover, they could just lower it a few inches and call it a…GTC4Lusso.
When was that? I missed it
@@po.russkiThe Margot Robbie scene. She's in a bathtub in the movie explaining finance.
@@stanlee3619 ah, I was thinking Wolf of Wall Street
@@po.russki I can totally see that.
I think I have figured out why I enjoy these videos so much and why I find thm special compared to other car review channels. Not only are they informative and quite comical, but they are endearing and heart-warming as well. U watch as these 2 seamlessly joke around the entire review, but realize u are also getting information. These 2 have great chemistry together and are lucky to have found each other. I'm grateful this channel exists. Keep it up guys!!
Best car videos since the Clive Owen BMW series! Awesome work!
5:40 hahahhaha the warning appearing as soon as you throttle
5:48 gotta love the engine oil temperature warning coming on.
I saw that too, definitely writing on the wall for when Thomas overheated.
I noticed at 5:48 during James pull the oil temperature warning came on, and then later the coolant got too hot, this is a big problem
Noticed that as well, figured it would reappear later, then it does and has to be shutoff. Not a good look for Ferrari
@@jabariphillips8855 not at all
Good eye, not sure how they even allowed them to publish this with those glaring issues.
especially on such an expensive car
I didn't notice the first time. Good catch. My question came at 9:00 with the hood moving around!
Lmao you guys got me really good with the "shift shoes" part of the video.
ya know i fall off the car scene ever few months and every time i come back to this channel i remember just how much i love real car guys.
I always wondered what a $400k lifted RX-8 would have looked like. Now I know... unfortunately.
RX8 is beautiful from far and handled incredible. That's all I can say lol
I was thinking the same thing
A lift kit would on this would result in cease and desist with this car, why? Ferrari hates customisation of new cars.
honestly i think this car would look so much without blacked out fenders
@@boyscouts5000 Imagine it with 37" Mickey Thompsons and portal axles lol.
I want Ferrari to send them cars to review and just strive for James's and Thomas's approval. In 3-4 cars, I am pretty sure Ferrari will absolutely nail the definition of a perfect car by throttle house.
So you want Ferrari to send them a Posche?
@@SilverJay7🤓
GTC4 Lusso was pretty close
@@SilverJay7😊😊
@@SilverJay7💀
Love the doors & the fact that they're coach but the rear opens up independently from the front...!
From 0:15 - true. That's why I love the simplicity the Giulia and Stelvio offers.
Man I love this channel, especially the fact that they understand how important their personal brand is to these videos. Truly feels like they would be good on their own but 100x better together
Well done. I LOVE this car!
the margot robbie feature really took the fuckin cake for me dawg i’m in tears 😭 i love you guys honestly, will never regret subscribing to you guys 3 years ago. my literal introduction to the car world.
9:00 the hood certainly flexes and thus provides even more aero dynamic benefits!
Not exactly the kind of body-panel gap I'd expect to see.
yo that's embarrassing lmal
James being Margot absolutely killed me 😂 I wasn't a big fan of the new Ferrari but it's grown on me. It's an amazing car 🔥
07:15 - OHH! Suit you! Something for the weekend sir? Need something sexy in beachwear for a pool in a villa in Italy Sir? Ohh! SUIT YOU SIR! Want to flash your manly chest hairs under a vibrant, but attractive bikini top whilst drinking an exquisitly refined wine? OHH! SUIT, YOU SIR! OHH! 😉🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧
You guys n this yt channel (I feel) is as if Top Gear survived with the Trio. N for that, u got my sub. Keep up the great work n commentary!
Reading that Vehicle Dynamics got me thinking about the Rockwell Retro Encabulator video.
You guys keep exceeding my imagination of how good a car video can be! The big short reference had me in tears😂 please please please never stop doing what you’re doing. You guys are absolute legends❤
Margot took time off from the Barbie Promotion tour to explain the Suspension on the Purosangue . Kudos to her !
You guys are so funny ! 😂 it’s gorgeous, that exhaust sound just beautiful
Great job guys. You guys get to travel all over…cool. Great reviews 😎👍👍👍❤️
Shout out to our girl Margot Robbie for explaining the suspension system despite her busy schedule with the release of Barbie. 👏💅❤
Well, James can always enter Miss Netherlands next year and he might even win .....
@@anchoragealaska3104 😂🤣😂
Did this really overheat..? Was this a preproduction version? That just seems insane!
Great Job guys,Keep going
What's that symbol that appears in the lower right corner of the display after 5:47? Oil temperature too high?
The pool section was way more funny then expected. Omg you guys are crazy and very funny. Thanks for this amazing video
Boys. Never stop the silly outros like this one. When they feel natural and hilarious based on your trip and experiences. It’s gold.
Could be the best intro to a video I’ve ever seen. “Homicide doors”. Gold😂😂😂
the stance adjustment at launch, how fucking beautiful that is, like a wild apex predator ready to hunt. Love it.
Throttle House knocking it out of the park as usual. Bravo guys. You have come so far and make AMAZING content. Love it. Absolutely love it and love seeing you guys realize your dreams.
The intro never been the same without them
wonderful report as always, guys!! The sound of this Mazda, well: too loud to be cruisy-good for me. the PILOTIs are cool! Margot, come again? Dam'n, kept watching this report, and now I want one, in this blue with a whitish spec on the interior.
You gotta love every car that comes with SPORT MODE
Definitely thanking Carl Sagan for the v12 in the Purosangue
Explain please.
@@sidewinder5337 nothing deep, just referring to what James says at 3:44

Please say the weight and Torque figures in metric as well when you mention them in Imperial. Good video as always.
the big short reference was spot on 😂
Who else thought the wine glass was going tip over at 8:00 ? 😂
I would definitely call this a crossover
Yea SUVs are body on frame. 'Technically' lol. And this may be a crossover SUV/hatchback/idfk
It’s as much crossover as a Golf R.
@@marclangman4836 how so
@@hi_tech_reptiles it’s an awd hatchback.
I like that James is 6’6 now that gives me more reason to watch the channel knowing he’s my height and he can drive comfortably in all these cars
The roar of that sound is intense the faster you go.
They definitely had to put a V12 in it so people will complain less. I bet the next one will be a turbo hybrid V6 or V8
Plug in and Full Electric
As always gentlemen, you never cease to entertain, and still do superb reviewing. Keep on!
The Big Short bit was amazing content
It is wonderful…absolutely the best SUV, it humbles the competition
pleasantly surprised they put a v12 in it. Figured they would have stuck w a ttv8 like everyone else
With that the engine probably wouldn’t have overheated and that’s just not an option
My understanding is there's a TTV8 option on the way.
seeing it in person gives goosebumps, it's far smaller and leaner than what you see from a screen, it looks incredibly agile, it doesn't even look like a suv
So a cross-over?
I'll be honest Till I saw your comment I thought it was a hatchback
Its hideous
@@paulthomson9014 Those wheels are an abomination.
@DavidTMSN the whole things an abomination
I would have liked a discussion on why it overheated, I think that is fundamental
Loved the big short reference 😭
Best motor journalists on the internet rn. Honest, funny, opinionated, original and informative. You guys are on your own level fr
Always killing it guys! Great vide. And love the "homage" to The Big Short, 😆
3:11 had to grab my headphones for that exhaust note
Wow I was not expecting the similarity between this and the Crown SUV to be that striking. Even if its just the front and the headlights - its wildly close. Put the Crown's front on the Mazda's silhouette and you'll actually have this lol
To be honest I don't think that the designers of Ferrari even know these cars. haha
And by the way when you see it in person, it is nothing like anything you have ever seen. it is magnificent looking
The UX of this car is all style over usability. Looks stunning - but I’d struggle using this
As much as I would agree, sometimes something memorable doesn't have to be good UX might be what Ferrari was going for.
@@OTTI1995 form over function - happens all the time. But imagine using this on a long drive, the faff of temperature changes, switching music and maps, checking vehicle stats. For local driving, it’s fine - and I’m sure people will just buy a phone dash stand/window suction clip. But like you say, it’s something you could probably get over
@@ColonelSternloveI'd not want to use my phone with a suction cup on my window in a $400K vehicle, when my $30K Kia can use Android Auto perfectly well and display my maps simultaneously to my speedo and tach... Straight up retarded design, in Europe I guess the distances are generally shorter, but in USA you often travel long distances and the user interface of this car would be straight up insufferable
@@ColonelSternlove none of what you said is any harder in this ferrari than in any other car... You can raise the knob and leave it raised and there you have your standar temp knob. Music you change it from the wheel... The maps you have them in the safest position possible. Most other cars you need to check your right lower viewline and lose the front linesight.
@@AI-qd4vb there is no way you can tell me having one screen is better than having two screens. I have mbux and and I never have any issues with maps because I can customise my screens (maps on driver display and music/radio on the other screen). I also don’t have to go in and out of menu’s for functions for climate, seat heating etc… it’s one press for all settings. None of what you’ve said says you’ve been on a long journey with one screen. And that climate knob goes against your whole argument
I never knew I needed a beef between Ferrari and throttle house but I’m so here for it
I saw one of these just two weeks ago. I loved the design of it.
amazing episode, you guys are hilarious
This channel is the best, I mean. They had freaking Margot Robbie 👀🤣. This channel is informative, entertaining and funny at the same time lol. Love you guys 👀🤣
Throttle House is too powerful to ignore... Even for Ferrari.
Thanks for reminding me I have to watch the big short again
Cant wait to start seeing these on the road! Im sick of the urus 😂 there's like 50 in my city
The GTC4 Lusso is my favorite sports wagon ever!
C63, DB12 and now exotic purosangue. Thomas and James living dangerously in these days
The music is amazing
I didn’t watch this video initially but after your interview on The Smoking Tire I had to. This channel is great because of you guys… even if the car is stupid.
