If you think you know a Ferrari just by looking at one, the new Ferrari FF slated for release in 2012 will make you think again.  The company has reached beyond its signature two-seat roadsters to design a new car that’s both practical and offers the highest quality features.  Ferrari FF – named to highlight the fact that the car has four-wheel drive and four seats – will come as quite a surprise to buyers.

At first glance, you’ll immediately notice the hatchback design. Open the hatchback door and you’ll discover a large cargo space that can almost double in proportion by pushing forward the backrests of the rear seats. Front seats offer plenty of room, and the FF easily and comfortably seats four adults. The inside cabin offers Ferrari’s standard luxurious feel and the finest craftsmanship.

Ferrari spares no expense on the exterior and functions of the FF. The vehicle’s body is all aluminum and the standard V12 engine is a 485KW 6.3-litre variety, offering a high degree of flexibility.  The all-wheel drive system is a first for Ferrari and, with a seven-speed double-clutch transmission and excellent suspension, the FF provides drivers an enjoyable ride, accurate steering and easy handling.

Speed is still an option given the FF’s ability to go from zero to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds; top speed is reported to be 335 kilometers per hour. Carbon ceramic brakes, 20-inch wheels, and top-notch software to manage all functions set the FF apart from the competition.
