Ferrari first revealed its plans was to unveil a unique shooting brake model a fornight ago. Now comes confirmation from Maranello that a new GT sports car concept will indeed be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
Dubbed Ferrari FF -- an acronym for four seats and four-wheel drive – the all-new Pininfarina designed model represents a decisive break in tradition for the Italian sports car maker. Said to combine shattering supercar performance with incredible versatility, superb comfort and sophisticated elegance, FF features the company's first ever four-wheel drive system.
The in-house developed 4RM four-wheel drive system weighs 50 per cent less than conventional rivals' systems. According to Ferrari the new system has enabled the FF to offer perfect weight distribution (53 per cent over the rear axle).
4RM also integrates all of Ferrari FF's electronically-controlled dynamic systems -- including the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3) and Brembo ceramic brakes -- allowing it to adapt to "all terrains and all conditions" via continuous and intuitive torque distribution to all four wheels.
Powered by Ferrari's direct injection 6.3-litre (492kW/683Nm ) V12 engine, FF is mated exclusively to a transaxle dual-clutch F1 transmission for 0-100km/h times of just 3.7 seconds.
The new car also promises exceptional standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment -- comfortably accommodating four people and their luggage. FF boasts a 450-litre cargo capacity that is extendable to 800-litres with the rear seats flipped forward.
As with every model in the prancing horse range, FF will offer a vast array of personalisation options and accessories including six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trims.
The FF will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show (March 3 to 13) and is scheduled to arrive in Australia early in 2012, when full local pricing and specification will be announced.
