Ferrari’s most controversial modern four-door is already entering its next phase.
A heavily disguised Purosangue development car has been spotted testing, and the camouflage suggests Maranello is preparing more than a mild trim shuffle. The model is understood to be tied to Ferrari’s F175M project, the internal designation for the updated Purosangue.
At a glance
- A disguised Ferrari Purosangue facelift prototype has been seen testing for the first time.
- The mule appears to show a revised front bumper, fresh aero details and possible ADAS radar hardware.
- The updated model is understood to be known internally as the F175M project, with further prototypes expected to follow.
A camouflaged Purosangue with a busier front end
The most obvious activity is at the nose, where the prototype’s disguise points to a reworked bumper and altered aerodynamic elements.
There also appears to be a radar sensor integrated into the front section, suggesting Ferrari may be refining or expanding the Purosangue’s driver-assistance hardware as part of the update.
The headlamp arrangement looks broadly familiar at this stage, though small lighting revisions remain possible once the camouflage comes off.
Ferrari’s facelifted models have often worn the M suffix, and this updated Purosangue is being referred to internally as F175M.
Subtle changes along the sides
The side profile does not appear radically altered, which makes sense for a car whose proportions are central to its identity.
The prototype does seem to be running a different wheel design, though it’s too early to say whether that will reach production or is simply part of the development setup.
For Ferrari, the Purosangue sits in a complicated but important position. It has to satisfy buyers who want everyday usability without dulling the brand’s performance-first character.
That makes even modest visual and technical revisions worth watching closely, especially around cooling, aero balance and electronic systems.
What the F175M project could signal
Ferrari has not confirmed timing, pricing or final specification for the updated Purosangue.
The test car’s heavy camouflage does suggest the project is still in the development phase, and more mules are likely to appear as testing continues.
One point of curiosity is whether Ferrari will extend ideas from its latest front-engined models to the Purosangue update, including transmission strategy.
Any talk of a manual setup remains firmly unconfirmed, but the possibility will keep enthusiasts watching the F175M program closely.

The Purosangue was never going to remain static for long, and this early prototype suggests Ferrari is already tuning the formula rather than reinventing it.
For buyers and collectors, the key question is whether the facelift brings meaningful hardware changes beneath the disguise or simply sharpens the package that made Ferrari’s first SUV such a talking point.
