Forca ferrari = FF, well not exactly but i do feel like that, but it does not seem like i have anything to worry about as a Ferrari fan. Launching a new car the first ever to have four wheel drive, how should we do that??? well lets get the car up on a mountain where it is all covered in snow to show off its four wheel drive system, hmm but you cant drive a car up there, well lets call in the Italian armed forces to help us fly it up there in one of their massive helicopters. So that is what they did and what a success.
So what have they brought to the top of a mountain the new Ferrari FF, it has a 6.3 litre V12 producing 660 bhp which shoots it of from 0 - 62 (0-100) in 3,7 sec. The revolutionary thing about this car is its 4x4 system which is now patented by Ferrari. The system is much lighter than a regular system because it uses a second gearbox for the front wheels where it only has a couple of gears rather than having the full 7 gears like the gearbox for the rear wheels. This can be done because you don't need the 4 wheel drive permanently, so it only kicks in when traction is need, which works really well and keep weight down.
Now the looks, first of i thought that it was only a concept to try the water for what people would think of the styling. I did not like it at all, it looked way to much like an even more ugly Impreza. But now having seen the real pictures and not just the computer drawing im coming around to the concept. I would still by a Maserati Granturismo for its looks but it cannot keep up with the Ferrari's performance and technology, but buying a Ferrari for its practicality just seam a bit wrong to me?
