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!
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.
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!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
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
Oh God….the monstrosity.
The BMW M Coupe didn’t do too well did it……
Nice approach ferrari… but not sure the fans will accept it… anyways gorgeous front and rear view of the car…
DAMN! shooting brake ftw
yeah man shooting brake is the way to go..=P
looks really huge and the front part have the 458 slight design.. i mean the headlight
so this what Luca was saying a big ‘surprise’.. i guess.
Not a real Ferrari anymore, why wont they make it in coupe body? This is so rediculous looking!
wow…design not very eye pleasing….duh….what happen prancing horse???
speechlesssssss…..gulp…
Looks like an oversized Z3… http://paul.my/hA33aN
Panamera styling cues ??
yeah!!kinda reminds me of the 1-er too.what happened to the design??it looks behind time and not futuristic.the front is obviously 458 Italia style,but that’s it.ntg much.
For me, it looks better than expected…
quite weird. pseudo-suv perhaps?
ugly car
Listen to that GLORIOUS NOISE!!!
pseudo-suv
ferrari hatchback?? should be good to enter IRC rally.. :P
I doubt it will complete the race.
You do know how fragile ferraris are right?
C.ronaldo crashed his 599 , walked away unharmed,
They dont call them supercars for nothing…
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.
*cough.
peerrrrrhhhhh
They are replacing the 612 with this abomination?!
yeah.. they replace an abomination with another abomination
this is the red devil..!!!
Now this is what I call a great car! design and power. Not some Honda crx crap, pretentious and pathetic. You know who you are!
Wat the foo,dude.comparing honda to ferrari??come on!!apple to apple la.
the back looks so….urhhhhhmmmm…speechless..probably going to be one of those cars which u either love it or hate it..like a hummer
A Ferrari with a big boot space. Its like a Ferrari for uncles.
Wow, if you’re turning a junction on that one, you’d have to step out of the car and walk in front to check for oncoming cars before you turn. Crazy.
something is wrong with the design.. ugh ugly !
FF= f**king fast
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. ;-)
Add another pair of doors, and we have the successor to the Ferrari 456 Venice: http://goo.gl/qPLXM
As weird looking as it is, I kinda like it. :D
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.
I just hope this is a photoshop some idiot did and not really official :p
come on proton…get some design clue for your satria neo replacement from this….=D
Looks like dog bending over for a poo-poo……
Every other manufacturer tries to recreate their history. Ferrari, on the other hand, understand their history and simply move along with it.
Ferrari doesn’t want to give us a middle ground with this. Either you like it, or you hate it.
OMG!!! what happen? Lovechild of BMW 1 Coupe n 612 scaglietti ! no no no…ugliest ferrari ever
reminds the look of the old bmw z3 from side
ferrari on steroids
need some trimming on the rear end.. too bulky for a prancing horse.
That is copyright from Lotus! Proton sue Ferrari please!
They are just following Porsche whose Panamera is doing quite well especially in the US.
come on ferrari. put out a FFXX version of this! FFXX ftw~!
Yeah bring back the long lost shooting brake….it seems not many car fans knows about this body style……and this really a very good looking shooting brake…last time BMW got a cool shooting brake z3
fugly
looks ok but the front??? still have mixed feeling on the front of 458 too
powerful ugly car lol…
gosh… how i wish this car included in the GT5… :)
