THE first photographs of the new Ferrari FF, the company’s most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first four-wheel drive car, have been revealed.
The FF – 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 revolution.
This new V12 melds to a sporty, high-performance character with versatility, comfort and elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers a unique driving experience.
Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the FF’s harmonious blend of sporting DNA and usability.
The FF features the company’s first four-wheel drive system, which weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional system, maintaining perfect weight distribution – 53 per cent over the rear axle.
Completely integrated with the car’s electronic dynamic control systems, the 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 equipped with the latest damping system, as well as the carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.
Exceptional performance levels come courtesy of the new 6,262cc direct injection engine which develops 660 CV at 8,000 rpm.
In tandem with its transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox, acceleration figures of 0 to 60 mph are set at 3.7 seconds, while its weight-to-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, along with its weight distribution, ensures exceptionally responsive handling.
The result is that owners can enjoy the FF’s prowess over a wide range of uses: City driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track.
It can comfortably accommodate four people and luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.
An array of personalisation options and accessories has been developed for the FF, which will make its official debut at Geneva Motor Show in March.
