## Handling Speciale Package
The Handling Speciale package adds dark-gray wheels with diamond-cut accents and carbon-fiber scudetti to the base Purosangue.
## No New Parts, Just Software
The Purosangue HS achieves its speciale handling with no new suspension parts, using only software updates to the TrueActive Spool Valve adaptive dampers.
## TrueActive Spool Valve System
The TrueActive Spool Valve (TASV) adaptive dampers adjust damping force and ride height 20 times per second using a 48-volt electric motor and ball screw.
## Pirelli P Zero Tires
The Purosangue HS uses the same Pirelli P Zero summer tires as the base model, sized 255/35R-22 front and 315/30R-23 rear.
## Weight Distribution and Power
The Purosangue has a 49/51 percent front-to-rear weight distribution and a 715-hp 6.5-liter V-12 engine that revs to 8250 rpm.
## Driving Experience
The Purosangue HS delivers a responsive steering feel and increased engine noise, with dual-clutch gear shifts that are more authoritative.
## Test Drive Results
The Purosangue HS sustained 100-plus mph for eight seconds, with a 7.7-second lap time at the Balocco Proving Ground in Italy.
## Price and Value
The Handling Speciale package costs $27,600, making the Purosangue HS a $438,160 vehicle with carbon-fiber scudetti as a worthwhile option.
## Why It Stands Out
The Purosangue HS combines high-performance handling with everyday livability, making it a unique offering in the luxury sports car segment.
## Key takeaway

The Ferrari Purosangue Handling Speciale achieves better handling through software updates to its suspension system, maintaining everyday drivability.
