Monster Garage Orange County Announces Ferrari Development Deal, "International Off-Road Pure Blood" - 'Arco de San Lucas Traguardo' (ASLT}


""The all new, off-road version "Arco de San Lucas Traguardo", family SUV with an Italian V12 up front and the new 755-horsepower powerplant.

There isn’t a single thing that is subtle, restrained, or unrefined about this beastly machine, but it manages to look better than the “Pure Blood” Ferrari it’s based on. 

Ferrari’s base price is US $423,686, and you can expect this Monster Garage tack will cost you at least another quarter mil. The new development deal hasn’t released pricing yet. Spec out something so sporty and custom, they’ll build it for you. 

Inside you’re treated to wide swathes of perforated white leather with red accents and plenty of Monster Garage logos to remind you how fast this incredible off-roader will travel! Ferrari did a great job of designing this interior in the first place.

The seats in regular driving are aggressive and sporty, exactly the kind of thing you want in an off-roading family SUV. The Traguardo features “marbled carbon” on almost every inch of the exterior, including wider fender flares and a double-decker wing. This model reflects many of the changes seen in the all-new Ferrari F80.





For five decades, Monster Garage has made its name as one of Southern California's top off-road tuning specialists, particularly for luxury vehicles. The company has transformed many luxury vehicles into off-road monsters, uniting worlds that rarely meet. 

In its latest design study, the creative department gave 3D artists free rein to transform the Ferrari Purosangue into an off-road beast, and they knocked the ball out of the park. 

Purosangue also gets additional equipment to make off-road trips more enjoyable. It has a roof and rear rack to offer more storage space for a spare wheel, fuel canisters, and other luggage. Adventure lovers will also appreciate the optional rooftop tent that can turn a lonely beach or forest into a temporary home. Lastly, the vehicle has front and roof-mounted auxiliary headlights for improved visibility. 

The Purosangue draws its power to all wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, making it one of the most powerful SUVs ever created.





The "Traguardo", the Ferrari Purasangue Modified for Adventure, by Monster Garage, the American modifier has taken a Ferrari Purasangue and given it a look you wouldn't expect from a vehicle built by the Maranello house in Italy. 

This is a radical SUV version designed for off-road adventures, aptly named "Arco de San Lucas Traguardo," which is currently in the making. 

As we can see, this disruptive four-seater Ferrari, the first of its kind made by the Italian brand, has received a series of elements that make it a dream for adventure lovers. This version of the Ferrari Purasangue envisioned includes a set of modifications that make it more suitable for tough terrains. 

Among the changes are a lift kit for greater height, beadlock wheels, off-road tires for better grip, and PIAA lights on the front. They also plan to widen the wheel arches, not only to highlight the vehicle's robust character but also to improve its stability in off-road environments. 

Another radical aspect of this Ferrari Purasangue is that it offers a series of elements to place on the roof, allowing you to transport gas cans, spare wheels, and other types of luggage. However, the most eye-catching feature will be the option to include a rooftop tent. 

The tuner has yet to provide details on how many Ferrari Purasangue "Traguardo" units will be available for eager customers in the first months of 2025, just in time for the 'Road To Cabo' activities planned by the local rally operators.

The first Ferrari Purasangue "Traguardo" units will be seen during the October '25 CABO 500.

The first Ferrari F80 will be seen on the Baja peninsula during the CABO 1000 in 2026.""
