Ferrari FF
Revolutionary 12-cylinder
Ferrari FF
The
FF: the Ferrari Four. Four as in four-wheel drive. Four as in the four
comfortable seats that cocoon driver and occupants alike. A four-seater
that utterly changes the whole GT sports car concept, hailing nothing
short of a revolution in the automotive world. Even the most cursory
glance at the FF’s sleek, Pininfarina-penned super model profile will
tell you that. Drive it - anywhere, any time, in any weather or road
conditions – and you’ll know why it’s so radical. It may be a car that
has elegance, beauty and art in its soul, but there’s much, much more to
the FF than sophisticated allure. It was, in fact, designed
specifically to tackle the toughest, most complex and ambitious of
driving challenges. The kind of challenges that the most uncompromising
and discerning drivers will want to set it. Drivers that demand their
cars give of their all. Effortlessly. Regardless of weather or surface.
The FF will more than match anything that’s asked of it because it is
quite simply the most versatile car ever produced by the pens,
computers, wrenches and milling machines used by the Prancing Horse
technicians, engineers, designers and mechanics.
The FF: a name, as we said, inspired by the car’s four generous, body-hugging seats and, more significantly, the new Prancing Horse-patented four-wheel drive system. Purists will be overjoyed to know that it is still the rear wheels that actually provide the power, with torque being transferred only to the front axle when required and even then intelligently and predicatively distributed to all four wheels. Yet another reason why this is the most versatile Ferrari ever built.

But take note:
the FF is also the most exclusive GT on the market, the very pinnacle
of achievement in the “extreme GT” segment, the most powerful
four-seater in the world. It has it all: exceptional, class-topping
performance that pushes its signature Ferrari thoroughbred DNA and
driving pleasure to the utmost, regardless of weather or terrain. Even
on snow, ice and dirt. The FF also sets a new benchmark in terms of
sheer innovation: it is the first four-wheel drive V12 with a
rear-mounted electronic differential, the E-Diff. The Ferrari-patented
four-wheel drive system is unique and is also integrated with the new
generation F1-Trac traction control developed specifically for the
track. The FF is also the first and only V12 in the world to sport a
seven-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox and it boasts a 20 per cent increase
in power with a 25 per cent reduction in fuel consumption. The FF offers
four occupants superb comfort with body-hugging seats and absolutely
unprecedented cabin and luggage space for a car in its category.
Unparalleled chassis engineering gives authentic sports car dynamics,
with powerful brakes and an uncompromising suspension set-up. It also
boasts the best weight-power ratio ever achieved, thanks in part to the
fact that its patented four-wheel drive system is just 50 per cent the
weight of a traditional version. Style-wise, the FF is sculptural yet
streamlined: it has an innovative shooting brake shape, modern styling
cues, and third millennium aerodynamic and conceptual solutions to
underscore its sporty stance. It is also unique on several levels: for
instance, special exterior colours were specifically designed for the FF
and the leather that adorns the interior has been subject to an
innovative treatment to enhance its natural beauty. The FF is tailored
to perfection to suit the exclusive style of its owner. It’s as much a
car for day-to-day driving as it is for extraordinarily unique
occasions. A car you can drive alone or share on a road trip with three
other occupants. A car to take it easy in or really push to the limits. A
Ferrari that demands to be driven. A Ferrari to test your skills in. A
dream car.
The FF: the Ferrari Four.
Four as in four-wheel drive. Four as in the four comfortable seats that
cocoon driver and occupants alike.
