The Ferrari New Zealand Grand Tour, which saw the Maranello marque embark on a voyage of rediscovery of the spectacular Southern Hemisphere islands between late November and early December, has now come to a successful conclusion. Five Ferrari Purosangues each covered 3000 km over three weeks as they explored New Zealand’s extraordinary natural landscapes, scenic mountain roads and culture-rich cities.The Purosangue was chosen for this ground-breaking tour because it represents a new standard in the automotive industry, thanks to its innovative take on the modern, high-riding, four-door GT car. Many Ferraris have made combining benchmark performance with first-class comfort one of the pillars of their success, but the Purosangue takes that to a new level. With its 725 cv, mid-front-mounted V12 it truly brings together the best in terms of driving thrills, comfort and refinement - courtesy of its spacious and luxurious four-seat interior - and sports car handling thanks to its world-first active suspension system and uncompromising transaxle layout.The Tour gave 50 international journalists a first-hand experience of the Ferrari Purosangue’s prowess as they shared duties behind the wheel on different legs of a route that criss-crossed the two islands, leaving the motorways surrounding Auckland behind on the way to the spectacularly dynamic roads of the Southern Alps.
