Ferrari FF: full revolution

The wait is over: Ferrari unveils its website the first pictures and specifications of the new FF, the awaited successor to the 612 Scaglietti launches a new course in the history of the Prancing Horse, thanks to new solutions for the design and mechanics. What strikes at first sight is definitely the new line to the tail cut off, but under the skin is no less the presence of four-wheel drive, which also gives its name to the model: Ferrari Four (The name, however, also refers to the four seats available).

While remaining a Ferrari at 100%, the new FF comes with a new form of bodywork, designed by Centro Stile Pininfarina and Ferrari. This is a shooting-brake, which is characterized by a long hood and a short tail, a solution used by the British sporting anno'60. The second new era is found in the type of traction for the first time Ferrari abandons rear-wheel drive to take the four-wheel called 4WD (4 Wheel Drive).

The new drive allows a weight saving of approximately 50% compared to the traditional rear weight distribution that improves on this model has a ratio of 47/53 between the front and rear. In normal use the power to the rear axle has completely drained, but in case of need is allocated 30% to the front wheels.

Traction is aided by the innovative suspension system magnetorheological damping, while the braking system is one entrusted to the powerful carbon-ceramic brakes by Brembo signed. The heart of the red is the miraculous 6.3-liter V12 derived from the 599 GTO and capable of 660 hp delivered at 8000 rpm, mated to a dual-clutch automatic transmission with seven gears.

The brutal performances from the House are a top speed of 335 km / h and a sprint from 0 to 100 km / h "burned" in just 3.7 seconds. The interior is perhaps the most classic of the car for the dashboard and control panel solutions are many times of the Ferrari California, and can comfortably accommodate up to four people.

The particular shape of the body trunk is wide and smooth, there is talk of 485 liters which can be over 800 cutting down the rear seats. The debut of the new Ferrari FF is expected for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March), also will be revealed new and exciting details.
