Ferrari has lifted the lid on its 612 Scaglietti replacement and it's sure to inspire some heated debates among the Tifosi.
The new four-seater is the prancing horse's most powerful and versatile four-seater ever and not only does it sport a strange shooting brake body style but it's also Ferrari's first four-wheel drive car ever.
Hence the car's name, FF = four-seater, four-wheel drive.
Said to usher in an entirely new GT sports car concept, it was designed by Pininfarina with the aim of fusing the marque's sporting dynamics with “extraordinary usability.”
Of course, the design is bound to split opinions and even though early sentiment towards it in this office has been mostly positive, the words 'BMW M Coupe' and 'Alfa Mito' have already been thrown around while deciphering the design.
Now let's explore the other radical aspect of the FF - its four-wheel drive, which was designed to keep owners safely planted to the road whether they're in the snow or on a race track.
According to Ferrari, the FF's exclusive and patented 4RM system weighs 50 percent less than a conventional AWD system, while also maintaining perfect weight distribution, with 53 per cent falling over the rear axle.
Completely integrated with the car's electronic dynamic control systems, the technology delivers continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels.
The wizardry continues in the suspension where the car uses Ferrari's latest magnetorheological damping system, called SCM3, in addition to the very latest (and greatest) Brembo carbon-ceramic anchors.
It's sure gonna need them, with the new engine pushing out 485kW. The 65-degree, 6262cc direct injection V12 pushes out its maximum power at 8000rpm and produces 683Nm of twist at 6000rpm.
And the numbers? Quite stunning for a 'practical' car, with Ferrari claiming a 0-100km/h catapult of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 337km/h - if you're an MEC I suggest you start preparing your apology to the court.
As mentioned, this ride can be enjoyed by more than just two people, with Ferrari claiming that it'll comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, with a saloon-like standard boot capacity of 450 litres, which can even extend to 800 litres.
And there's more to this equation than just space - Ferrari has thrown a few toys into the equation, with a high level of interior specification and a vast array of personalisation options and accessories.
The FF will be shown in the flesh for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in early March before going on sale in key markets during the course of the year.
