Receive the keys to a Ferrari is already an event in itself. But for Ludovico Cianchetta Vazquez, the delivery of his new Purosangue clearly deserved some extra attention. A few days after unveiling his Italian SUV, priced at nearly 600,000 €, this entrepreneur decided to have it blessed by a priest. And it wasn’t just any Purosangue that received a blessing from above…
Five days ago, Ludovico Cianchetta Vazquez proudly shared the arrival of his new Ferrari on social media. An entrepreneur active primarily in the rental real estate and private aviation sectors, this Italian is no stranger to purchasing cars from the Maranello-based automaker. «Happy and proud to be among the very first customers in the world to receive the new Ferrari Purosangue Handling Speciale—my third Ferrari, as I await delivery of my fourth,» he wrote.
A Ferrari Purosangue that's even more exclusive than the others
Because this red Purosangue isn’t quite the one you usually see. It features the configuration Special Handling, unveiled by Ferrari in late April 2026 to emphasize the sporty character of its four-door model. Under its long hood, you’ll still find the spectacular 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 725 ch. But Ferrari has reworked several elements to make the driving experience even more intense.
The active suspension features a specific tuning that reduces body roll by 10 %. The eight-speed dual-clutch transmission has also been recalibrated, with sharper gear shifts. Even the V12’s exhaust note has been tuned to be more audible inside the cabin. Added to this are special diamond-cut wheels, carbon-fiber accents, and matte-black exhaust tips. This is a particularly sought-after configuration for a Ferrari SUV, which could cost as much as €600,000, according to its new owner.
After the delivery, it's off to the blessing!
But Ludovico Cianchetta Vazquez didn’t just enjoy his new Ferrari. In another video posted on his social media, we see his Purosangue parked in an Italian square, near a church. Standing beside it, a priest dressed in white is blessing the vehicle, sprinkling holy water inside the cabin. It’s a rather unexpected scene for a Ferrari of this value—one that seems to amuse its owner greatly.
The entrepreneur also accompanied his post with a humorous remark: «Now we can really say that my Ferrari is a »Madonna« car!» In Italian, the expression “della madonna” can also be used to describe something extraordinary. It remains to be seen whether this divine protection will accompany the V12’s 725 chevaux on the road.
