Ferrari Gave the Purosangue Rear Doors — and a Fixed Wall Behind Them

The Purosangue's rear passengers get their own doors: a pair of rear-hinged ones that open directly onto the two rear bucket seats. Behind them sits a rear hatch, which makes the car technically a five-door. The flexibility stops there. An immovable firewall separates the cargo area from the passenger cabin, and the rear seats do not fold flat — so the added doors change how people get into the back, not how much the car can carry.

Take

Rear-hinged doors are a genuine improvement for the people in the second row. The compromise here is aimed at the cargo side, not the human side.

Pushback

Calling it a five-door while the seats stay fixed and a firewall walls off the load bay is a generous reading. Doors are about access, and access to the trunk is exactly what this design declines to offer.
