A Chance Encounter with Ferrari Prosangue: Suicide Door

When I went to the corn grass, there was Purosangue

I met Prosangue, but I remembered that I didn't write about it on my blog while I was excited by myself.

On that day, I had something I wanted to talk to the sales person of Cornes, so I suddenly contacted him and said, "Can I go?"

And the moment I entered the Ferrari Showroom in Cornes Lawn (now moved to the new store, so the old store), I thought, "Huh?? Who's over there?!"

I'm already surprised.

Because it was an event that I had never imagined that Prosangue would be on display all of a sudden.

Moreover, on this day, it wasn't like there was a special event being held here, and the professional sangue was also here by chance (I wonder if that's the expression (laughs). ).

I happened to want to go to Cornes Shiba on that day, and Prosangue, who happened to come to the showroom on that day.

Is it fate?

Maybe they were attracted to each other?

After all, is it a fateful encounter?

Well, I was about to become a strange delusion again (lol), but it seems that my house is not going to buy an SUV anyway, and even if I say "I want it" in the first place , It seems difficult to purchase at my home level ^ ^

It seems that there are already quite a few orders.

In the first place, I'm not qualified to buy when I call Prosangue "SUV", right?

Ferrari's Prosangue is not in the "SUV" category (Ferrari says)Cars in the category "FUV" (Ferrari Utility Vehicle)^^

For the time being, this day was a special day, so I was able to take a closer look at Prosangue, who I met for the first time.

The hole under this tail light (how to say it (laughs)) is also amazing. Just aerodynamic.

It's a little hard to see because of the various reflections, but this is the view from the rear looking up at the roof. There was a gap.

Because the air is made to flow downward from here, it seems to be able to function without the rear wiper.

I was told that I would be allowed to ride in the car, so I would like to get in... but before that,Confirmation of the Niko-chan mark on the door..

It hurt.

Opening the door from the inside was done with a single button, just like in Rome.

This button is easy to open, but it's a bit scary that you won't be able to open it by yourself in case it breaks.

There was a screen on the passenger side, and it was "SHIATSU" that was displayed at that time.

Heh, the seat has a massage function.

It's a Ferrari, but you can drive while receiving a relaxing massage in the car.

Purosangue characters too.

The cross-shaped selection button under the turn signal) was flat and smooth on the Rome and 296GTB, so I didn't know where to touch it, but on the Prosangue it's uneven and I can't touch it. It seems that it has become easier to understand.

I wonder if it's the FUV that emphasizes ease of use. Because it's a utility model.

shift selector part

There's something on the top of the shift that looks like it's going to open...

There are two cup holders when you open it. convenience.

In addition, there was wireless smartphone charging on the top, but my Galaxy is too big to fit (laughs).

When the armrest part between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat is opened ↓

Then, I would like to continue riding in the back seat.

Nico-chan is also firmly on the rear seat door ^ ^

And above all, it should be noted that this Prosangue uses a double door opening.

The back seat door here has a small door handle like this (I wonder if it's okay), and when you pull it a little longer, it opens automatically.

It can be opened and closed by pressing a button from inside the car.

I'm not used to the door opening in this direction, so it felt strange.

Wireless charging is also available in the armrest part of the rear seat.

It's a four-seater, but it feels like four adults can ride comfortably.

If you open this part in the center of the back seat...

There are also two cup holders here. convenience.

What is Suicide Door

By the way, the double doors that are also used in this Ferrari Prosangue are called "suicide doors" in English.

In the past, I didn't have the opportunity to talk about double doors in English, so I didn't know about them (laughs). rice field.

Porsche Mission E was a double door at first

Porsche's Taycan was the trigger to know it.

No, to be precise, it was a concept car before the Taikan, "Mission E".

Anyone remember this?

When the Mission E was first presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015, it was a double door! !

Here is an image of Mission E that was officially released ↓

After all, when it was released as "Taikan", it was not a double door, but at the time of "Mission E" it was announced as a double door, so at this point Porsche was seriously considering a double door. I don't think so.

And the reason why this double door is called "suicide door" is because of its structure,According to WikipediaHere's why:

• If you have to jump out of a moving car for some reason, and there is a suicide door open behind you, you will hit the door when you jump out.
• Even if a normal door opens during driving, the wind pressure will be applied in the direction of closing, but in the case of the suicide door, the wind pressure will open the door more and more, and in the worst case it will be removed, and the passenger will lean against the door. danger of falling.

As for Prosangue, I think that the doors will probably not open even if you press the button from inside the car while driving, but when you have a child in the car, it will be locked properly. I think it would be better to check if there is.

It was a very happy day to meet Prosangue by chance.
