How to Spec: Ferrari Purosangue
If you're in the market for a Ferrari Purosangue, the spec options are some of the most exciting (and expensive) decisions you’ll make. With so many paint options, interior finishes, and tech upgrades, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. And when you’re dropping well over £300k, you want to get it right.
This guide will take you through everything you need to know about speccing a Ferrari Purosangue, from which options are more than worth the money to the ones you can probably skip. And if you're looking at one on the used market, this will help you choose the best spec for resale value. Let’s get started.
Colours
Ferrari gives you a ton of colour choices, from standard paints (which cost nothing extra) to multi-layer special finishes (which can set you back over £20k). There are a lot of colours that come as standard that won’t cost you a penny, such as:
- Rosso Corsa (classic Ferrari red)
- Blu Pozzi (deep, sophisticated navy)
- Bianco Avus (crisp, pure white)
- Giallo Modena (Ferrari’s signature yellow)
But, you’re probably not here for the free options.
The smart money picks include some of Ferrari’s most popular and premium colours, including:
- Canna di Fucile – A famous gunmetal grey, timeless and elegant.
- Blu Scozia – A legendary deep blue from Ferrari’s racing history.
- Rosso Mugello – A darker, richer red with a classic feel.
- Blu Electrico – A vibrant, almost neon blue.
Ferrari has also introduced a Classic Colour Range (including Nero Daytona and Blu Tour de France), but expect to pay around ÂŁ7-8k. Want to go all out? A four-layer paint like Rosso Magma will set you back ÂŁ20,000.
There are so many paints to choose from, and you can’t really go wrong. But the Purosangue is a Ferrari SUV, not a Range Rover. If there’s ever a time to go for a head-turning colour, this is it.
Wheels & Brakes
The Purosangue has only two wheel designs to choose from: Standard and Forged Wheels. The standard wheels are a little too basic, in our opinion. The forged wheels look a lot better and are ÂŁ5,000 extra, but come in Liquid Silver, Diamond Cut Orbit Grey, and Matte Black.
For brake callipers, there are a few different choices.
- Yellow – Matches the Scuderia shields (most popular).
- Black - For a stealthier look
- Aluminium – More reserved, especially if you’ve made a statement with your paint
- Red or Gold – If you want something different.
Ferrari draws the line somewhere, so you can’t get every colour (greens and purples aren’t available, for example). But you can get other options like Titanium Wheel Bolts (£1,000 Extra) that are stronger, lighter, and required for forged wheels, and Carbon Fibre Centre Caps (£500 Extra) if you’re going all-in on the carbon theme.
Carbon Fibre
Carbon fiber is one of the biggest factors affecting your Purosangue’s final price, and Ferrari will happily let you spend a fortune on it. Some parts are worth it, and some aren’t. The must-haves are £5,000-£7,000 each but make a big difference to the resale value. We would recommend:
- Front Spoiler (£5000) – Sleek and adds aggression to the nose.
- Wheel Arches (£5000) – These are exclusive to the Purosangue - no other Ferrari has them.
- Rear Diffuser (£7000+) – Massive, dramatic, and very Ferrari.
- Under Door Cover (ÂŁ5000+) - A big piece that goes under both the front and rear doors.
- Mirrors (£2000) – A small but stylish touch.
We would think twice about the Carbon Fibre Side Skirts (£5,000 Extra) - they’re nice, but not a game-changer - and the Carbon Fibre Roof (no extra cost). It looks cool, but you’ll probably want the panoramic roof instead.
Panoramic Roof
The panoramic roof is not standard, but if you live in the UK, it’s a no-brainer. It doesn’t open or slide, but it makes the cabin feel much airier. It also has an electrochromic dimming feature which turns the glass blue (so you don’t bake in the sun).
However, it is one of the most expensive roofs you’ll probably ever find at £12,000. So, while it essentially adds another window and makes the interior feel huge, it is pretty pricey.
Privacy Glass
If you want to add some discreet luxury, Ferrari offers laminated privacy glass for around £3,000. It gives extra privacy for the rear passengers and boot, blending nicely with the black window trim and gives the Purosangue a stealthier look. While some buyers love the blacked-out aesthetic, others prefer to show off their interior, especially if they’ve gone for a lighter leather spec. It’s a personal choice, but if discretion is your thing, this could be an essential upgrade.
However, you can’t get it on the front windows due to regulations for tinted glass in the UK, so if you’re after a fully blacked-out look, you’ll need to explore aftermarket options.
Scuderia Wing Shields
If you’re driving a Ferrari, you want people to know about it.
The Scuderia Shields on the front fenders are only ÂŁ1,200 and a bit of a no-brainer. If you want to go all out, Ferrari offers hand-airbrushed Scuderia Shields for around ÂŁ9,000, but at that price, you might want to throw on a PPF (paint protection film) to avoid scratches.
If resale value is a factor, it’s worth noting that Purosangues without the standard shields may be harder to shift later on as buyers tend to expect them.
Exhaust
The standard chrome-polished exhaust pipes on the Purosangue do the job, but they might not be to everyone’s taste. Fortunately, Ferrari offers a couple of upgrades to help you tailor the car’s rear-end aesthetics to your liking.
- Sport Exhaust Tailpipes in Glacier (£1,300+) – These have a matte silvery-white finish that stands out more against darker paint options. If you want your exhausts to be a subtle design highlight, this could be the way to go.
- Black Ceramic Tailpipes (£1,300+) – For those going for a stealthier, more aggressive look, this is the choice. Black ceramic blends seamlessly into the rear diffuser, making the lines of the car look cleaner and meaner.
While these options don’t alter the sound of the exhaust, they make a huge difference visually, so choose depending on the overall look you’re going for.
Badge
Want to show off a bit of Italian pride? Ferrari lets you spec an Italian Tricolore badge on the back of the Purosangue for £784. It’s a nice detail, but not a dealbreaker if you prefer a cleaner rear end.
Interior Options
Regarding the interior, Ferrari gives you an incredible range of choices, especially if you go through the personalisation program.
Colours
- Black & Charcoal: These are the safest, most practical options. They won’t show wear as easily and work well with any exterior colour. However, it’s worth adding contrast stitching (red, yellow, white, or blue) to lift the interior and avoid it looking too dark.
- Crema & Sabbia: Lighter, more luxurious options. These brighten up the cabin and give it a timeless elegance, though they will require more upkeep.
- Cuoio (Tan): A rich, classic brown leather, perfect for blue or green exteriors. It’s very on-trend at the moment and a great way to give your Purosangue a vintage GT feel.
- Darker Browns (Iroko, Cioccolato): More niche choices. They work best on understated specs but may limit resale appeal compared to Cuoio or Crema.
Materials
- Alcantara comes as standard, particularly in the lower zones of the cabin.
- If you prefer full leather, you’ll need to upgrade, as some upper areas (like the dashboard) come in technical fabric by default.
Design Specification Pack
If you want to go all out on exclusivity, Ferrari offers the Design Specification Pack, a new £60,000+ option. It’s a serious investment, but for those who want their Purosangue to feel truly special, it’s an unmissable upgrade.
What do you get for the money?
A new black technical fabric replaces Alcantara in the footwell, console, and backs of the seats. It’s incredibly durable and high-end with a rough texture that feels more motorsport.
There is full carbon fibre throughout the interior. Every panel is carbon with copper thread woven through the weave, creating a gold-tinted effect that looks spectacular.
You’ll also get black oxide speaker grilles for a more modern finish, and a Gold Rake seat design, which is a unique pattern inspired by Ferrari’s historic race cars.
Interior Carbon
Ferrari offers a wide range of options to bring more carbon fibre into the cabin. For carbon lovers, it’s easy to rack up a hefty bill, but it dramatically changes the feel of the interior and adds a racy, high-performance look.
The Carbon Fibre Driving Zone is one of the most popular Ferrari interior options. It adds LEDs to the steering wheel that light up when it’s the optimal time to change gear.
Other carbon fibre options you can get are:
- Upper tunnel trim
- Dashboard and passenger display surround
- Instrument cluster (only available in matte carbon)
- Inner door handle and door panels
- Rear centre console and scoops behind the seats
- Sill kick plates
Seats
There is only one actual seat option, so no racing seats or bucket seats, but you can select different design details.
Standard seats – Sleek and supportive, but without much flair.
Style seats (£3,000) – Adds horizontal stitching and a leather strip down the middle, giving the seat more visual depth and contrast.
Gold Rake design – This removes horizontal stitching and strip, giving the seat a cleaner, sculpted look.
Additional Seat Options:
- Massage & Ventilated Seats (£4,000) – A first for Ferrari. Offers three massage levels and five different modes for extra comfort on long drives.
- Heated & Ventilated Rear Seats – A nice luxury upgrade, though not essential.
- Prancing Horse Embroidery (£1,000-£2,000) – Essential if you want the classic Ferrari look.
Suspension Lifter
Unlike many Ferraris, the Purosangue comes with a suspension lift as standard but you can upgrade it to Suspension Lifter Plus for ÂŁ4000.
It adds an extra 10mm of lift at the front and rear and can be activated at higher speeds for better usability. But it’s only really useful for off-roading, so it's not essential for most buyers.
Recap
The Ferrari Purosangue is a masterpiece of performance, luxury, and engineering with everyday practicality.
While it comes loaded with premium features as standard, Ferrari gives you plenty of room for personalisation to make it your own.
