I like it, well it looks good from the back.
yeah i think it looks cool. i believe you guys just arent digging it because its not the typical ferrari.
looks way better then a panamera, that thing is an abortion.
It looks much better than BMW and people who can afford to drive theirs Maseratti’s or Ferrari’s in winter (and you’ll be surprised how many actually does) will buy it for sure. It’s an all season, all weather Ferrari. I like it.
Meh
It’s ugly and is only getting a pass because “omg it’s a ferrari!!!”. If this was any other main stream auto company you guys would be shitting all over it for looking gross.
has anybody read about how the AWD setup works… this is just crazy!!!
Well, the FF doesn’t actually have a normal heavy 4WD system with a centre diff and an extra prop shaft. It has a normal Ferrari configuration, with the drive going from the V12 back to a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox driving the rear wheels. This is good for weight distribution, and in the dry the FF is as fast around a track as a 599 (it’s only a little heavier, yet usefully more powerful). Felisa swears it feels like a proper front-engined RWD V12 Ferrari, too. And he has spoken the truth to me in these matters all the 16 years I’ve been interviewing him.
Ferrari FFSo what about the four-wheel drive, then? Uniquely, power is also taken off the front of the engine, which is behind the front wheel centres. It’s fed to a compact lightweight unit containing a set of clutches that can progressively feed in torque to a tiny integrated gearbox and front diff. It has only two gears, roughly the equivalent of third and seventh in the main box. How can this be? Because the clutches are always slipping under electronic control, and the front tyres would never be able to make use of all the V12’s torque in first or second.
What this means is the car’s electronics can smoothly dial up a portion of drive to the fronts if they predict a loss of traction at the back. Yes, they’re predictive as well as reactive. And they only do this in the road and slippery-road settings of the steering-wheel manettino. In the more hardcore modes, you can still run it as pretty well entirely rear-drive.
Separated at birth?
innocent enough crash… he just popped a rock or something gay.
sorry, but both those cars look great. you ever heard of function? this is like the STI hatch of ferrari’s.
