      The Purosangue illustrates what occurs when an excess of forged carbon fiber is incorporated.

      Mansory has modified the ECU and installed a new exhaust, boosting the V12’s output to 745 hp.

      Inside, you’ll find black Alcantara, vivid yellow accents, and a starlight headliner.

      Designing an aesthetically pleasing SUV is no easy task, but credit is due, as we believe Ferrari succeeded with the Purosangue. While some have likened it to a Mazda CX-30, it remains sleek, unique, and undoubtedly a member of the Italian Stallion heritage.

      Regrettably, all that elegance was disregarded last year when Mansory chose to apply its unique design flair to the Purosangue. The outcome was the "Pugnator," a name that seems to try too hard, much like the vehicle itself.

      Now, the tuner is attempting to sell one of its extensively modified Purosangues. This specific model is cloaked in a stealthy matte black and is so heavily adorned with forged carbon fiber that it’s almost unbelievable. It’s as if Mansory received a surplus of carbon and decided to apply it to the Ferrari wherever feasible.

      The front of the Pugnator is particularly extravagant. It features a new black grille and a sharp front bumper and splitter, complemented by sleek LED daytime running lights. Mansory also added a forged carbon hood filled with vanes and vents, imparting a level of aggression to the Ferrari that was unnecessary.

      The wheels are equally bold, measuring 22 inches in the front and 23 inches in the rear, with black spokes and yellow highlights. Mansory has included forged carbon fender flares layered over the original fenders, as if one set wasn’t sufficient. More carbon adorns the sides, with rocker panels and trim behind the windows following the same design approach.

      While the front might almost appear attractive with a very careful squint, the same cannot be said for the rear. It features an elaborate roof spoiler with yellow endplates and a forged carbon fiber bumper and diffuser assembly. Additionally, there are quad-stacked exhausts reminiscent of an older Ferrari California.

      Numerous modifications have also been made inside, though they are somewhat less extravagant by comparison. The seats, door panels, and dashboard are now covered in soft-touch black Alcantara with yellow piping and stitching. Mansory has added yellow seat belts and a starlight headliner inspired by Rolls-Royce.

      Those interested in cruising in this Purosangue will be pleased to learn that the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 has been enhanced and fitted with a new exhaust, enabling it to produce 745 hp and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. Although the asking price hasn’t been disclosed, given the modifications and the brand, it is likely to be expensive – both financially and aesthetically.
