sad sad day in the car world when Ferrari makes a hatchback

 

[footie]

Is it known as yet how this transfer box works, does it direct engine power to the front wheels or is it battery powered, meaning electric motors? Also is this Ferrari see the benefits of awd, or is it a reaction to Lamborghini steadily becoming a serious threat to them?

Either way it's very exciting.

P.S.
As for it's looks or should I say the lack of them, bummer.

FF flagship - Press Release!

The new Ferrari is about to arrive
The FF unveiled on The FF revealed to the world - Svelata la nuova FFour

A revolutionary four-seater, four-wheel drive V12 Ferrari: exceptional performance and versatility

Maranello, 21st January 2011 – The official Prancing Horse web site, Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new FF, the company's most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first ever four-wheel drive car.

The FF - an acronym for Ferrari Four (four seats and four-wheel drive) - ushers in an entirely new GT sports car concept. A decisive break with the past, the new car represents not so much an evolution as a true revolution.

This new V12 melds to an unprecedented level an extremely sporty, high-performance character with incredible versatility, superb comfort and sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.

Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the FF's harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.

The FF features the company's first ever four-wheel drive system. Ferrari's exclusive, patented 4RM (four-wheel drive) weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional four-wheel drive system, maintaining perfect weight distribution (53 per cent over the rear axle). Completely integrated with the car's electronic dynamic control systems, the four-wheel drive technology delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and in all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels. The FF is also equipped with the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), as well as the most recent development in carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.

Exceptional performance levels come courtesy of the new 6,262 cc direct injection engine which develops 660 CV at 8,000 rpm. In tandem with its transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox, stunning acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 sec.) are guaranteed. The new model's class-leading weight-to-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, along with its ideal weight distribution, ensures exceptionally responsive handling. The result is that owners will be able to enjoy the FF's prowess over a wide range of uses: city driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track. Performance aside, Maranello's latest model also offers standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.

A vast array of personalisation options and accessories has been developed for the FF. These include six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trim incorporating specially selected and treated aniline leather.

The FF, which will make its official debut in occasion of the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, is presented today with the first three photos from a dedicated shoot by Giovanni Gastel.

Why in the world would they make it a hatchback? I will be trying to answer that all weekend...

I used to cringe when dissenters categorized the Panamera as a hatchback. What will the cynics call the FF, a two door station wagon?

*ahem*

And judging by the roof rails and the luggage, this one is ready for the holiday.

True campers use Lambos:

Nothing is what it used to be
Ferrari making wagons..
Lambos are 4 wheel drive
BMW claiming they are the ultimate driving machine while making SUV´s of diffrent sort..
MB making small cars..

First when I saw the pic I was said: "OMG, what is this f***ing new Ferrari?".
Then after reading that it was 4WD, was instead of 612 Scaglieti and after seeing it had bin-parts on it, 458 Italia headlights and taillights, I said: "OMG, not only BMW M, but even Ferrari is dying. Clearly this is the END OF THE WORLD."

They trying to make that money! My problem is why would they make a flagship into a hatch/wagon makes no sense.

If they were going to just to this they might as well just took this time and focused on an Enzo replacement. Just because VW is getting ready to take the Veyron in the back yard and let off a few rounds to end production doesn't mean Ferrari needs to slack off like this. My goodness.

C'mon people let's show some sophistication here... This isn't a hatchback - it's a Shooting Brake: one of the classiest and most exclusive body shell types. There's a long history of Shooting Brakes being purveyed to only the most select and discerning of buyers. Something us plebs just wouldn't get.

This thing is aimed at the absolute upper echelon. It's heavy because it's not a supercar - Ferrari has enough of those.

Sheer drama, pure excess - a Ferrari as it's meant to be.

^Sure but they arent exactly poor..
they made the california..which in itself is just play ****** ugly and gay..
But i could live with that..
But wtf is this?
and it replaces a legendary line up car from ferrari..
They could have made it seperate new modell instead then..

God..so damn ugly..
And its a half assed effort.. it has the head and rear lights of a 458 italia..
And will probably cost twice..

Hah!!
Drama.. a wagon? no thats grocery shopping and soccer practice..not drama..
And it wont do that good either..as it probably has a tiny back seat and not enough room in the back..

They can call it a Shooting Bus for all I care. The problem isn't what it's called hatchback, wagon or shooting brake the issues is that it's not a coupe.

Sure it is probably well engineering is loads of fun to drive, but it's just not what some of us expect for a Flagship Ferrari.

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised considering all the spy shots that had it looking "big in the butt", but still I never thought this would happen.

Either way as long as the 458 is available, I'm still a Ferrari fan.

No words needed

Nooow i get it martin

WOW I'm speechless!!!

Amazing car. Striking looks, lots of power, AWD to transmit it to the road, spacious interior...

The interior design is a bit of a disappointment for me though - california interior with 458 steering wheel and instrument cluster..
