Ferrari Four V12 – Scaglietti replacement with 4WD power!

Ferrari Four V12 – Scaglietti replacement with 4WD power!

These are the first three shots of Ferrari’s first ever four-wheel drive car – the Ferrari Four, also known by its acronym FF. It has a shooting brake-like body style, with a long front bonnet that clearly says this Ferrari is front engined!

Ferrari Four V12 – Scaglietti replacement with 4WD power!

The Four in its name refers to its four seats and four wheel drive. Ferrari’s implementation is called 4RM, and Ferrari claims it’s weighs on average half the weight of a conventional four wheel drive system. We all know what a properly tuned system can do – just look at how the Nissan GT-R goes around the ‘Ring. Ferrari’s implementation is tied in to its electronic dynamic control systems to make sure the system doesn’t only just deliver power to a wheel for grip, but for maximum velocity around a corner as well.

Ferrari Four V12 – Scaglietti replacement with 4WD power!

The Ferrari Four is powered by a new 6,252cc V12 engine with direct injection, revving high to make 660 horsepower at 8,000rpm and 683Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. It is mated to a dual clutch transmission mounted at the rear axle. The combination of the engine, gearbox and 4RM takes the car up to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Other less exciting specs include 450 litres of boot space extendable to 800 litres. There’s also the option for the HELE system which includes various ‘green’ features like auto start-stop.

More details when the FF makes its debut at Geneva!

    My God…what is this???? This is closer to ‘sickening’ than ‘seductive’. The styling, I mean. Specs are still wonderful for Ferrari…But gosh, my eyes..

      I think if they want to have a front engined super car, they should design it something like the new lotus elite.

      This ferrari looked like 1 series bmw :-p

          Yeah. Good crafsh resistance. Good!!

          But try to use it off road. The suspension go haywire before you even know it.

          These cars are not designed for less than perfect roads.

    We Malaysian do have a distorted view of what Ferrari should look like, don’t we? I mean, we can only imagine Ferrari to look as like a sport coupe, nothing more.

    Try Ferrari 250 GT Drogo. ;-)

    Looks like they could a very good balance on this car. 50:50 weight distribution with rear axle and cabin weight offset rearward. good potential to be a good drift, race or rally car! not too bad from my view point. something new, which in any way is a good move. keep it coming Ferrari.

    Every other manufacturer tries to recreate their history. Ferrari, on the other hand, understand their history and simply move along with it.
