Ferrari strive for innovation in every car they produce and their latest offering is unlike anything they have shown us before. The new Ferrari FF debuted on the official Ferrari website, along with some pretty pictures of a car that Ferrari claim is their most powerful and versatile 4-seater, ever. It also happens to be their first 4-wheel drive car and will officially debut at the Geneva Motor Show which goes down later this year.
The new Ferrari FF, which stands for Ferrari Four, uses continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all 4 wheels, which allows it to produce impressive performance on a number of different terrains. The V12 6,262 cc direct injection engine in combination with a transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox mean that the FF is capable of 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 335km/h.
In terms of handling, the new Ferrari FF is equally impressive, largely thanks to its ideal weight distribution, which means the FF is equally equipped to handle city driving, low-grip surfaces or the track.. Once again hinting at the FFs versatility, the cabin space and boot capacity clock in at 450 litres, extendable to 800 litres, which is impressive for its category. The versatility of the new Ferrari FF is something to take note of, considering that it can comfortably seat 4 people and their luggage, although that remains to be seen.
Thirsty at the pumps
Ferrari doesnt often take versatility, cabin space and comfort into consideration when developing their vehicles and it is a pleasant change. The fuel consumption clocks in at 15.4 litres / 100km with a CO2 emissions rating of 360 g/km which is in the range of most Ferraris and more than likely not a factor to anyone looking to buy a Ferrari. That said though it is exciting to see Ferrari broadening the range of vehicle categories that are catering for and it can only be a good thing for the motor industry.
