The Ferrari FF makes its eagerly-waited debut at Geneva after the huge
build-up of expectation and interest created by the client premiere at Maranello.
The revolutionary Ferrari FF offers
a completely new take on the sporting Grand Tourer theme. It is not only the
first Ferrari with four-wheel drive, but, more significantly, a model that hails
a major break with the past, effortlessly melding extreme sports car performance
with the versatility and usability of a genuine GT and boasting an extremely
innovative design.
Ferrari FF Style and Design
Styled by
Pininfarina, the FF's lines effortlessly reflect its signature uncompromising
balance of sportiness and versatility. It can comfortably accommodate four in
its body-hugging seats and spacious cabin. Its 450 liter boot can also be
extended to 800 liters as the rear seats fold down independently. This means
that the FF offers more luggage space not only than any other car in its
category, but also many four-door saloons, too.
Everything aboard the FF
is tailored specifically to the needs and tastes of its driver with a choice of
six exclusive colors and the finest Frau aniline leathers specially treated to
enhance their natural softness. The FF's exceptional specification enhances
in-car enjoyment for all four occupants. Features include a new rear-seat
infotainment system with two screens for watching TV and DVD and a 1,280 Watt,
16-channel stereo system with Dolby Surround Sound.
The interior has also
been optimized weight-wise through the use of high-tech materials such as
magnesium for the seats.
V12 Engine with
7-Speed Transmission
Every single area of the FF brims with
innovation, not least its engine, the first GDI V12 to be coupled with the
seven-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox. The V12 unleashes a massive 660 hp at 8,000
rpm, and maximum torque of 504 lb-ft (683 Nm) at 6,000 rpm with 369 lb-ft (500
Nm) already available at just 1,000 rpm. This ensures the performance figures of
an extreme sports car, with the 0-60 mph sprint covered in 3.6 seconds and a top
speed of 208 mph (335 km/h). Efficiency has been significantly boosted too, with
fuel consumption now standing at just 15.4 liters per 100 km, and CO2 emissions
at 360 g/km, a 25 per cent reduction compared to the previous V12s, thanks in
part to the HELE (High Emotions- Low Emissions) System which incorporates
Stop&Start technology.
