At first sight in the metal it looks truly bellissimo??

Even with my foot 負かす／撃墜する and giving it some welly, it gripped and 対処するd admirably on the slippery compacted snow surface and was 井戸／弁護士席 within the 限界s of my own bravery. With white stuff 飛行機で行くing out behind, I left it to a professional driver to 押し進める it far closer to the 限界, with me riding 発射-gun in the 乗客 seat. Impressive.

It's also the first Ferrari fitted with hill-降下／家系 支配（する）／統制する to 持続する its 速度(を上げる） on 法外な downward inclines.

So smooth that my co-driver dozed off!?

I'm still 審議ing whether that supercar snooze was a 尊敬の印 ? or an 侮辱 ? to my 運動ing style and 前線-seat 雑談（する）.?

But it speaks 容積／容量s for the 柔軟性 of the car.?

But with gas-guzzling 燃料 消費 of just 16.3mpg and CO2 放出／発行s of 393g/km it's engine antics are far from green.

Instead of 伝統的な carpeting or leather 床に打ち倒す 削減する the 床に打ち倒す, owners can choose a 弾丸-proof, 弾道学の fabric used in 軍の uniforms because of its exceptional toughness and durability. There's also a new 同時代の dark brown 半分-aniline leather, 同様に as an optional new 炭素-fibre weave 統合するing very 罰金 巡査 wire.

The Purosangue's bonnet is 前線-hinged, 言及／関連ing the Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2 and other 伝説の past Ferraris.

For the first time the car also 申し込む／申し出s compatibility with Android 自動車 and Apple CarPlay systems as 基準. However, the downside is it dispenses with an in-built sat-nav system. Ferrari says its tech-savvy owners will have the very 最新の smart-phones and 簡単に use their 航海 apps.

That's 罰金. But there's no in-built cradle to 融通する the phone. So drivers might 危険 points and a 罰金 if they don't mirror it to their dashboard 審査する.
