Ferrari Purosangue Gets a Version That Defies Common Sense

I confess that whenever I hear the name Mansory, a part of me already braces for the unexpected, to say the least. The German tuner is known for its… let’s say, polarizing transformations. This time, they decided to revisit the already controversial Ferrari Purosangue, which they call the “Pugnator,” and created something even wilder: the Mansory Pugnator Tricolore. And yes, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, only three lucky (or unlucky?) rich folks will get one of these in their garage.

What Makes the Pugnator Tricolore So… Unique?

If you thought the original Ferrari Purosangue already turned heads, wait until you see what Mansory has done. The “standard” Pugnator, unveiled last September, already featured a roof spoiler. But apparently, for Mansory, one is never enough. On the Pugnator Tricolore, they added a second “goose-neck” style wing that extends from the rear hatch—a bold aerodynamic solution that screams for attention. It’s a profusion of aerodynamic appendages that would make even the Mustang GTD, known for its aggressiveness, look tame.

Besides the dual wings, the Tricolore sports a new rear diffuser with no less than four center-exit exhaust tips because, of course, two or four side-exit tips would be too conventional. Mansory’s hallmark features are also present: large air intakes on the fenders, front canards, new fender trims, and several other visual “updates” that, according to the original Motor1.com source, make up a “truly ridiculous bodywork.” To complete the look, 22-inch front wheels and 23-inch rear wheels ensure no one mistakes it for a regular Purosangue.

A Surprisingly “Subtle” Interior

The example Mansory is showing off features a tricolor paint scheme representing the Italian flag, a theme that, surprisingly, extends elegantly inside the cabin. The interior is predominantly white, with red and green accents on the seats and center console. The interior, however, is where Mansory seems to have found a flash of… surprisingly good taste, especially when compared to other luxury creations like the Mercedes-AMG GT APXGP that combines F1 and cinema.

An interesting detail is that Mansory split the door and air vent accents: keeping them red on the driver’s side and green on the passenger’s side. Honestly, it doesn’t look bad and, compared to the exterior, it’s surprisingly harmonious. Perhaps the tuner decided that after the outer visual shock, a bit of calm inside would be welcome.

Extra Power: Does It Justify the Eccentricity?

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Mansory modification without a power boost. The Pugnator Tricolore benefits from the same updated powertrain as the original Pugnator. An ECU upgrade and sport exhaust system raise the output of Ferrari’s 6.5-liter V12 engine to 755 horsepower and 730 Nm of torque (converted from 538 pound-feet). That’s an increase of 40 hp and roughly 10 lb-ft compared to the stock model. Often, a power increase aims to complement the look, but here the question is whether the extra horsepower justifies such an extravagant body kit. This power bump puts the Pugnator Tricolore on a high-performance level, rivalling other supercars like the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance.

The debate about whether we really need engines this powerful is always valid, especially when we see brands like Mercedes-AMG bringing back the V8 with a futuristic twist, showing that the passion for big engines is alive and well. In the case of the Pugnator, the question remains: is the performance gain enough to forgive the looks? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Comparison of Modification Philosophies

While Mansory bets on visual shock and raw power gains, other tuners like Singer adopt a philosophy of classic restoration and enhancement, as seen in their work on the Porsche 911 with its Cosworth engine, focusing on driving experience and timeless aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Mansory Pugnator Tricolore

• How many Mansory Pugnator Tricolore units will be produced? Only three units will be made, making it extremely exclusive.
• What engine does the Pugnator Tricolore use? It uses the Ferrari Purosangue’s 6.5-liter V12, modified to deliver 755 hp and 730 Nm (about 538 lb-ft) of torque.
• Is the Pugnator Tricolore’s interior as extravagant as the exterior? Surprisingly, the interior is more restrained, with a tasteful tricolor scheme (white, red, and green), though with asymmetrical color details.
• Does Mansory only modify Ferrari cars? No, Mansory is known for modifying a wide range of luxury vehicles and supercars from different brands.
• Does the power increase justify the car’s look? That is a subjective matter. The car gains 40 hp, but it’s the design that sparks the most debate.

Look, I’ll be straightforward: the Pugnator Tricolore’s look is undoubtedly a statement. It’s not for the faint of heart or the Ferrari purists who prefer Maranello’s understated elegance. But on the other hand, you can’t deny the boldness and exclusivity Mansory injects into their creations. It’s a car made to shock, to be the center of attention, and in that, it succeeds brilliantly. Whether it’s worth the investment (which will certainly be astronomical) only the three future owners will say.
