The official Prancing Horse web site, Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new Ferrari 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 & 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 & sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver & passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.

Designed by Pininfarina, the shape & proportions perfectly interpret the Ferrari FF’s harmonious blend of sporting DNA & 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 & in all conditions via continuous & intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels. The Ferrari 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 t&em 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 h&ling. 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 & on the track. Performance aside, Maranello’s latest model also offers st&ards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec & equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people & their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space & boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.

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

The Ferrari FF, which will make its official debut in occasion of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, is presented with the first three photos from a dedicated shoot by Giovanni Gastel.
