The Ferrari FF

With its official launch in Malaysia just days ago,The Ferrari FF certainly has been making waves in the Malaysian autoblog scene,so let me take a crack at it!Its a four-seat Ferrari, which replaces the 612 Scaglietti and the first production Ferrari to feature four-wheel drive. And if that wasn’t enough to be contending with, the FF is also an "shooting brake"/Estate.

While the FF retains an aluminium spaceframe, the wheelbase is 40mm longer than the 612, to help increase cabin space. Power is provided by a 651bhp 6.3-litre V12 engine;which gives it an impressive 0-200km/h time of 11 sec!


 What is particularly interesting about the FF is the absence of a direct rival and how it delivers drive to the road, because unlike a conventional all-wheel drive system, there is no centre differential. Instead, for the majority of the time, the FF is effectively a regular rear-wheel-drive Ferrari, with the power directed to the back wheels via a seven-speed, dual clutch transaxle gearbox.
