New Ferrari FF

D_BEAR

612 Replacement and the first "all weather all roads" 4 wheel drive Ferrari.
Side profile reminds me a bit of the old bmw z3 coupe.

god thats ugly.

RobAMerc

in profile it really does look like a Z3 coupe - but on the upside it also looks like a modern Jensen Interceptor - the original FF car!

Paparazzo

Horrible. Ferrari have lost a sale here

hmm, I dunno, often when a new model is released by a high profile manufacturer it's nearly cool these days to comment on how ugly it is (thanks to the likes of Clarkson etc).
I like it.

I'm pretty off put by that, doesn't look like a Ferrari looks like a flatter bmw x1 or something, it just looks off....

Lurching

The low slung side view does make it look like the old model M Coupe, but I loved them, so think I will like this too!

Absurdum

this, plus the front lights are 370Z. Does nothing for me. All they need now is a diesel SUV.

I wouldn't throw it out of bed for eating crackers.

Back end would look so much better if it was tapered down to the boot a wee bit rather than just sticking out like the back of an estate.

In truth, there are very few Ferrari's that float my boat.

Ferrari has revealed details of its first ever four-wheel drive model. The Pininfarina-designed FF (meaning four seats and four-wheel drive) is billed as the Italian manufacturer’s fastest four-seater ever and uses a front-mounted 6.2-litre direct injection V12 engine, producing 651bhp at 8,000rpm and 504lb ft of torque at 6,000rpm, mated to a transaxle dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift gearbox.

At 4.9m and 1,790kg the FF is fractionally longer and lighter than the outgoing 612 Scaglietti four-seater, and 3.5cm taller, too. Ferrari says it will accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 208mph.

Ferrari’s 4RM four-wheel drive hardware weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional set‑up, while maintaining near perfect 47:53 weight distribution. According to Ferrari, it “delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels”. Rather than proper off-roading, however, FF owners will be able to use their cars on “low grip or snow-covered surfaces”, as well as more conventional Ferrari territory such as on the track and in city driving.

The FF will also have carbon-ceramic brakes and a “magnetorheological” adaptive damping system, as featured on Ferrari’s 458 Italia.

Maranello’s latest is promised to offer levels of passenger space, comfort and equipment previously unheard of for a car of this kind. With four seats and a 450-litre boot it will, says Ferrari, “comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage”.

Interesting car and a radical departure for Ferrari.

RobAMerc

I like it - it's Ferrari's answer to the Cayenne if you ask me, they missed the boat on the SUV thing so have come up with this.
Let us wait and see how it performs and handles before we make decisions on it's merits no ?

Aint that the car that got the clown shoe nickname

love the m coupe - prices are crazy for second-hand models.

Personally I love the shooting-brake type shape.

other examples are reliant scimitar


and volvo 1800 es

I like it. It's replacing the 612, which was ugly anyhow. At least this one is ugly and seats four people and carries luggage.

sherdydan

cover the bonnet with your hand and look,

anyone else see grande punto?

mailforkev

I really like it.

The angle of the front on shot is a bit odd, makes the front look much higher than I reckon it actually is.

The back looks pretty good.

PrettyBoy

Sorry but that looks great IMO, a new edgy look for the traditional, old mans Ferrari. The front isnt perfect but the side profile and rear of the car are stunning. I definitely prefer it to the 612 that its replacing and think the design fits in nicely with the 599 and 458 models.

Also its 4WD? Ferrari are stepping out of their comfort zone with this one but I dont doubt them for a second, no one does it better.

Kintarō Hattori

A shame, I thought they were back on track style wise with the 458 Italia but from the photos above it just looks ugly. Perhaps the photos aren't doing it justice but it really doesn't look that nice.

Alanstrainor

I think it looks great.

Moses7

I like it! plus the fact that it has four wheel drive.

perfect car for skiing trips:)

unkel

Different! Can't say it's a beauty but it has a certain "je ne sais quoi" about it

Much nicer than a Porsche Panamera and an Aston Martin Rapide put together though...

I kinda like shooting break style 2 door cars

I thought it was bread van?

The Recliner

Yup it is kind of Fugly but I like it

Then again I like the X6 for being Fugly too so I am maybe not the best person to comment

Plug

I don't like this and I don't like the 458:(

robtri

maybe it will grow on me.. but it fecking one ugly car....

do paper bags come as standard?? (i think it would be like hammond testing the micra cc)

I like it.

Or maybe it might have to do with the fact that people saw the picture and are mentally competent enough to deduce that it IS in fact an ugly car??

Stevie Dakota

FFs. First Ferrari world and now this...

wayfarers

That'd last about an hour on the fekking roads up this way.

muckwarrior

I think the profile shot looks fantastic. I like the back too, but not the front.

stealthyspeeder

I think it looks great, I really like the look that the M coupe has which is not to ereryones taste, plus 650 bhp V12???? [/end cumface]

Biffo's new motor!

ToxicPaddy

I have to say I do like it.. something a little different from Ferrari, not that I could afford one..

but I could I would defo consider it..

VolvoMan

I usually don't really care much for Ferraris, but I have to say that I quite like this.

messymess

The vast majority of Ferraris I've seen would stop me dead in my tracks and almost make me a little emotional. This, not so much!

Besides, who wants three extra people and 450litres of their **** in your Ferrari?

The only thing I want in my Ferrari is my bleach blond silicon enhanced trophy bird!

alexmcred

Think it's a cracking looking car

Cookie_Monster

jasus :eek:

that looks like the got from the bonnet to the end of the door and just gave up.

It's hideous

Mr.David

Very brash and tacky.

Ferrari really have lost the plot.

This is what a Ferrari should look like.......effortlessly stylish and timeless. Its all about curves in the right places, just like the female form

They look the same almost.. infact the rear arch is a copy and paste job..

rjmf

I would say the front arch looks more like the picture, the rear arch is like a big booty (no pun intended)

What are you on about? People say they don't like it cos it cool to say? :rolleyes:

People are saying it's ugly, cos it is appalling looking.

This noveau riche, bling image is exactly what I DON'T like about Ferrari. That and all the 'Ferrari-world' theme park crap.

I like the 458, 355, LOVE the 288GTO above all cars on the planet.
Love also the 60s models like the 250GTO above and the Lusso.

I like this FF. It looks great from most angles and is better than an SUV model. And I'm a big fan of AWD... I'd have one over a boring Aston (is it just me or does every model since the DB7 look identical?) any day...

bijapos

Reminds me from the side of the 250 GTO breadvan. Designed by Bizzarrini.






Back reminds me of the Sultan of Bruenis 456 Shooting Brake.
