The first ever Ferrari All-wheel drive ... The Ferrari FF

As announced, Ferrari has revealed today the new Ferrari FF, or Ferrari Four, which is the company's first four-seater ever and... wait for it... its first ever four-wheel drive car. Yup, the Ferrari FF is all-wheel-drive! At this point, the Ferrari FF is in a concept stage, but it will spawn a new GT production model soon.

The Ferrari FF measures 4907 mm in length, 1953 mm in width, 1379 mm in height and has a dry weight of 1790 kg. The company says the Ferrari FF has a weight distribution of 47% front, 53% rear and a 2.7 kg/hp power-to-weight ratio.

Here comes the fun part. The Ferrari FF is powered by a 6,262 cc 65-degree V12 engine developing 660 hp at 8,000 rpm and 683 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Ferrari has also released the Ferrari FF's performance figures. The top speed of the Ferrari FF is rated at 335 km/h (208 mph) and the preliminary figures say it can rocket you and three of your buddies from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.

Although most Ferrari owners do not really care about efficiency figures, here they are. The estimated fuel consumption of the Ferrari FF is rated at 15.4 l/100 km and the CO2 emissions at 360 g/km.

The Ferrari FF was designed by Pininfarina and comes with the latest technology developed by the Prancing Horse. The equipment list of the Ferrari FF includes carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo, the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution system. The power of the Ferrari FF is sent to all four wheels via a transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox.

Here's another first for Forza Rossa. The Ferrari FF has foldable rear seats and promises to offer 450 liters of luggage space which can be extended to 800 liters.

The world debut of the Ferrari FF will take place at the Geneva auto show in March this year. Watch the first Ferrari FF video after the jump.

Ferrari Press Release:

A revolutionary four-seater, four-wheel drive V12 Ferrari: exceptional performance and versatility

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 Ferrari FF - an acronym for Ferrari Four (four seats and 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 and sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.

Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the Ferrari FF’s harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.

The Ferrari 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 and in all conditions via continuous and 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 tandem 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 handling. The result is that owners will be able to enjoy the Ferrari FF’s prowess over a wide range of uses: city driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track.

Performance aside, Maranello’s latest model also offers standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.

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

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