Ferrari FF


O novo Ferrari FF (Ferrari Four) é o primeiro modelo da marca de Maranello a possuir tração nas quatro rodas. O substituto do 612 Scaglietti é um shooting brake quatro lugares autêntico. O design do veículo foi desenvolvido pela Pininfarina e mescla itens dos 458 Italia, California e 599 GTB Fiorano.

O motor V12 possui 6262 cm³ de capacidade cúbica, com injeção direta, produzindo 651 CV de potência a 8.000 RPM e 504 lb-ft de torque. A transmissão é sequencial de sete velocidades com dupla embreagem, com trocas por meio de borboletas, velha conhecida da marca italiana.

O carro, que pesa 1790 Kg, acelera de zero a 100 Km/h em 3,7 segundos e atinge 334 Km/h de velocidade máxima. Com o sistema stop-start HELE, criado pela própria Ferrari, que estreou no Ferrari California, as emissões de monóxido de carbono são de 360 g/km.

O primeiro sistema de tração permanente nas quatro rodas da Ferrari, patenteado com o nome 4RM, tem metade do peso de um sistema convencional, ajudando a criar uma distribuição de peso entre-eixos na ordem de 47% na frente e 53% na traseira.

Em conjunto com os diversos sistemas eletrônicos de controle de estabilidade presentes no Ferrari FF, o 4RM ajusta a distribuição de torque entre as quatro rodas para garantir o máximo de desempenho e segurança, de acordo com as condições do terreno. Além disso, o Ferrari FF tem um sistema suspensão com regulagem magnetoreológica de altura, chamado SCM3, e freios Brembo de carbono-cerâmica.

O porta-malas do Ferrari Four é bastante generoso para um supercarro, com 450 litros de capacidade, maior que o de um Renault Scenic. Com os assentos traseiros rebatidos, então, o espaço quase duplica, chegando a 800 litros.

O Ferrari FF fará sua estreia no Salão de Genebra, em março, quando serão revelados o preço e o início das vendas. A produção em série do modelo é esperada a começar em 2012.

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


Maranello, 21st January 2011 – The official Prancing Horse web site, Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new FF, the company's most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first ever four-wheel drive car.

The 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 FF's harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.

The 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 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 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 FF. These include six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trim incorporating specially selected and treated aniline leather.

The 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.
