Quote:

Much credit goes to Ferrari for having the courage to release a relatively practical 4-seat AWD hatchback supercar. Now you and three of your friends can experience 0-60 in under 4 seconds on your way to the golf course.

The new Ferrari is about to arrive

A revolutionary four-seater, four-wheel drive V12 Ferrari: exceptional performance and versatility

Maranello, 21st January 2011 – The official Prancing Horse web site, Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new FF, the company’s most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first ever four-wheel drive car.

The FF - an acronym for Ferrari Four (four seats and four-wheel drive) - ushers in an entirely new GT sports car concept. A decisive break with the past, the new car represents not so much an evolution as a true revolution.

This new V12 melds to an unprecedented level an extremely sporty, high-performance character with incredible versatility, superb comfort and sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.

Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the FF’s harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.

The FF features the company’s first ever four-wheel drive system. Ferrari’s exclusive, patented 4RM (four-wheel drive) weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional four-wheel drive system, maintaining perfect weight distribution (53 per cent over the rear axle). Completely integrated with the car’s electronic dynamic control systems, the four-wheel drive technology delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and in all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels. The FF is also equipped with the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), as well as the most recent development in carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.

Exceptional performance levels come courtesy of the new 6,262 cc direct injection engine which develops 660 CV at 8,000 rpm. In tandem with its transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox, stunning acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 sec.) are guaranteed. The new model’s class-leading weight-to-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, along with its ideal weight distribution, ensures exceptionally responsive handling. The result is that owners will be able to enjoy the FF’s prowess over a wide range of uses: city driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track. Performance aside, Maranello’s latest model also offers standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.

A vast array of personalisation options and accessories has been developed for the FF. These include six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trim incorporating specially selected and treated aniline leather.

The FF, which will make its official debut in occasion of the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, is presented today with the first three photos from a dedicated shoot by Giovanni Gastel.

lol when i read the thread title "Ferrari FF" i thought ferrari came out with a fwd model.. was gonna facepalm big but good

Looks too much like a BMW Z....

FF stands for ferrari four

Love the shooting brake idea. Not sure about sales though with that kind of specification this will be an expensive hatch and is a niche within a niche.

for a ferrari, its kinda strange looking..........

only ferrari that i think its kinda ugly ...

i do like the videos, exotic riding on snow always make me happy

I can see some c-lias in Richmond dropping their kids off at school in this

car actually looks pretty good.

Why are car companies like Ferrari and Porsche making these four wheel cars? If you make great sports cars, stick to that business model and make the cars that you are known for.

First, Porsche produces that four wheel drive monstrosity, the Panamera. Now Ferrari wants to get into the game to make more money from people who want the Ferrari brand, but need more interior room from a hatchback.

Do Ferrari owners actually want a hatchback from the exotic car maker??

These companies have sold their souls all in the name of more money. :mad:

i acutaly like the soundtrack haha

I dig this. But why don't they build their 4 door models to compete with panamera, Lamborghini Estoque and Aston Martin Rapide already?

This is a pretty niche market they are treading into.....Just like how the Z4 Coupe is pretty niche...

did a 458 have a threesome with a Fiorano and a Z4?

Would look great if some other company made it, but doesn't work as a Ferrari.

Front looks great.
Back looks nice.
But both together looks meh.

Wow a daily driver from Ferrari. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell a lot of these.

Not all have 4 wheels.

Ugly ... very ugly. No Ferrari owner drives their car on a rainy day let alone in snow.

So the next in line is either Ferrari SUV or Sport sedan like Panamera? -.-?

I like it! Now imagine if Ferrari entered WRC

Wow was not expecting Ferrari to release a 4 seater like this.. Reminds me of the Panemera minus 2 doors and somewhat like a Z4.

Totally different direction they are taking, but I'm sure there are rich people out there who want a Ferrari and need an extra seat or two
