An epic 4WD gran tourer |
The FF name in the Ferrari FF refers that the first F is a four-seater and the other F stands for 4WD. This is exactly known as Ferrari's first four-seater 4WD grand tourer. It is equipped with Ferrari-developed 4WD system codenamed 4RM and this bespoke 4WD system is 50% lighter than convenient 4WD drivetrains, giving this FF some classic Ferrari handling while tackling through tarmac, gravel, snow, and other road conditions. It is equipped with the 6.3L V12 gasoline direct injection engine that produces 660PS of power and 683Nm of torque. This helps the car reach 0-100kph in 3.7 seconds and 335kph of top speed. It comes with a 7-speed paddle shift transmission.
With such technology and power, perhaps no wonder this $300,000 toy had all of the customers asked for it. In other terms, Ferrari builds 800 FF models for the year and a full-year supply has already been sold out. Don't worry though that all hope is not lost despite the Ferrari FF is sold out because you can now try the Ferrari FF on Forza Motorsport 4.
About the Ferrari FF, I like its handling because of its 4RM all wheel drive system developed specifically for the FF. It handles just like any other Ferrari cars even though that this is a 4WD shooting brake that throws the curve on the Ferrari brand. In straight lines, I think I found its weakness. It would be difficult for the Ferrari FF to overtake against rivals in a straight line like the Circuit de la Sarthe's Mulsanne corner at a full speed. Slipstreaming isn't a very good idea for this car and it will overtake its rivals if they were on the curves.
But still, it was great for me to try out the Ferrari FF on Forza Motorsport 4. What I like is its handling but what I don't like about the FF is its slipstreaming ability because in straight lines, you can't catch up with high speed rivals right before you overtake them on the corners. Perhaps handling really was the Ferrari FF's top priority...
