Ferrari FF tested

[@CJAEY]

After a while, I actually think this car is pretty good looking , looks like a Ferrari you could actually deal with everyday driving.

[@nokadota2]

I like it, just as before I liked the Scaglietti. There's something with a grand tourer that attracts me more than let's say a 458. Probably because I enjoy long drives, beautiful(yes, I think the FF is) styled cars with power underneath and comfort.

[@ShadowFalcon]

@JayKayEightyEight The Panamera is a V8 powered 4WD saloon. The FF is a V12 powered mostly transaxel 2WD (only 4WD when you set the manetino to icy or rainy or when you absolutely arse around) Shooting-Brake.

[@lamborgboy]

the one car i've been waiting for a review of

[@lapirk]

i honestly like it a lot. a usable ferrari. everyones taken aback by the styling but thats how design is. it evolves...

[@madaigle7]

this is possibly the best ferrari ever made because you can use it everday and the looks of the car is staggering just amazing, plus the power to get you to A and B quikly.

[@MaloEdu]

The wheels looks cool. Some how it looks it does not rotate but it does rotate very fast.

[@TheStallion234]

@Boruc987 Its an opitcal illusion, sometimes when wheels are spinning they look as if they're not moving at all. The wheels are spinning there it just looks as if they aren't.

[@Jesse22H]

@MrFalconfly The similarities are in the rear, the back of both somewhat swoop over from the exhaust all the way to the grill of the car.

[@ikeaaron]

I feel like the only person on Earth that loves this. Two of my favorite things: shooting brakes & Ferrari's.

[@CollinsMbu3]

@lapirk I think it's great too. Just like you said, it is a usable Ferrari, and it still has most of what you would expect from the manufacturer. The interior is great, it's has the usual Ferrari design "awkward" prettiness. It's good to me. This is a GOOD difference.

[@MichaelStergides]

It takes more than looks for a car to make you smile. And that's why this car is very good.

[@AlternativeUses]

think this is my favorite car currently in production

[@oOoironhideoOo]

i think the front grill needs to be more on the agressive side in order to get in armony with the astonashing rear design ...

[@Fresse]

Was this filmed near St. Moritz in Switzerland?

[@Annoyingdad78]

for me this car is perfect. father, sales, long drives (in various weather), and a die hard Ferrari fan. driving clients in a Ferrari sounds fun until your client can't get out of it.... or having to go home to get my other car because I had to pick my kids up from school unexpectedly( it happens). the Scag back seat sucks.

[@Boruc987]

why doesn't the wheel at 4:09 (and other times in the video) move. is that the traction control cutting the power. -please answer?????????????

[@hosrom]

What the board at Ferrari smoke when they approved this car?

[@danthemanpatrick]

Is that a double-decker diffuser I see on the rear end of the FF?

[@ShadowFalcon]

@timtime88 Mate. How can you compare the FF to the Panamera?!? The Panamera's roof-line is much more sloping than this (essentially looking like a overgrown 911 with four doors) while the FF has a longer nose and a more aggressive and straight roof-line.

[@Rapterr15]

at first i hated the shape, but after seeing it in action, I think it looks pretty damn good.

[@TheEryk03]

660 hp and almost no slide with a full throttle. Thats AMAZING!

[@DoggysStyle]

Looks it like it had massive understear at the hair pin then the traction control massively kicked in and brought the car back online. Car looks alright. Maybe partly because i think it looks like one of the finest hatch's ever made, the Z3M. It looks huge compared to the host standing next to it.

[@lightbulbisbright]

I am 14 years old and just watching these videos makes me so sad, cause I know the chance of me ever driving one is sooo little. I get sSO excited if I see any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche.. etc

[@ratmtbola]

Absence of a direct rival? How about the Aston Martin Rapide or Maserati Quattroporte? The only differences are two more doors and a more sedan-like roofline. And the Porsche Panamera is even closer to the FF, with its hatchback / wagon-like roofline.

[@Channel4Four]

am i the only one who likes this? as I see it, its designed to be not the only ferrari you own but ferrari number 2 or 3 that can be used if you want a small amount of practicability for a change whilst keeping the badge. ignore the price tag for a second, and thats what you get! a ferrari that you can go skiing or on a very long journey with

[@Wroner94]

@rosskgilmour IMO you can put ski inside :)

[@ShadowFalcon]

@ipodkiller6 Well people who bought the previous 612 Scaglietti wanted a car that was less skittish in the wet (hence the 4WD system called 4RM), had better room for the people sitting in the back (the 612 was a 2+2 coupe and a 4 seater Shooting-Brake of-cause will be roomier), and had a larger boot (again the Shooting-Brake is better in that department than the coupe while still keeping the sporty design). That is the point of this car and needless to say I LOVE IT!!!

[@mrpeopleonfire]

@tinaalwayswins People will still come up and talk to you about the FF, because it still has the essence of what a Ferrari is

[@MrDexter9i3]

@Boruc987 And it has something to do with the camera recording at about 24 frames per second, so at certain speeds every frame (image) catches the wheel at the same position as on the frame before... :D ...as simple as that... ;)

[@mrpeopleonfire]

@tinaalwayswins Yes they do, but how would people feel about the F40 if it had been made 20 years later?

[@Commentcrusader]

My dad owns a 458.. I had to get used to the design.. But still beautiful But once you drive one.. You'll know what passion is.. It's an awesome car.. And when you buy one, they make you part of the "family". (it's a marketing thing) Godfather style :) Pretty cool

[@SammyJ21]

Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera???

[@ztunelover]

I don't care what people say this is the first shooting brake design besides the mercedes shooting brake that I like. I think it looks absolutely great. The engine sounds better than most past gt ferraris as well. The interior looks sumptous. Amazing vehicle, the awd is a new innovation, I'm sorry I won't argue with people, it is the first 100% year round usable ferrari in canada. Haters can screw right off.

[@Slipstream0001]

No rivals? What about the panamera?

[@droppinsumfudge]

if youre going to get a high performance 4 seater with everyday usability, why wouldnt you choose the bentley continental gt speed or maybe even the supersports? at least those cars are comfortable and look good...

[@kouznetsov]

i hope they make a rear wheel drive version!!

[@SidandCoke]

@Jamzkangster Is that before or after the gearbox fucked up on the GTR?

[@TomHeuving]

Of course Ferrari made sure the journalists got to experience the FF at a wonderful place in the best conditions possible, to give the new 4WD a try. And this 4WD, is alone enough reason to love the FF.

[@temidget2]

@shobin05 i think you're wrong on that. the 365 daytona is a 4 seater and my god that thing is beautiful

[@haydendmorrison]

I love all the negative comments. A real car fan would understand the appeal of this car, the performance is stunning, the detailing is gorgeous and the usability makes it a lot more practical. For the Ferrari owner with friends! Not the first time they have made a 4 seater either ;)

[@ROCKSOLID19]

That bloke is right, let the customers answer. I placed an order for an FF because of the driving dynamics, the sharp response time of the throttle and unlike the previous 4 seaters, especially the arse ugly 612, it is more practical, would be able to replace 3 vehicles for me and is much better looking, not as better looking as the 458 Italia but it is from the ground up a good Ferrari. Who cares what old man Enzo would say about it, he said that the people who buys his cars are "idiots".

[@15melmb]

@lapirk: For the price, is it really usable though?

[@MultiTopgearfan]

@SHIFTERnight totally agree... and the noise is even better...

[@kibcubed]

Its ok-looking, really. Looks a bit like a 250 GT SWB Breadvan. I've read on the secondary front-wheel drive gearbox and it seems like quite a clever engineering compromise between weight, CoG and power delivery.

[@rogefedwon]

As the review got under way I was very optimistic about the final result. However when more and more positives started appearing I began to love the car. But there is one BIG but and that is that it looks like a 458 Italia that has been left in the sun for too long and has melted. But the sound of 651 rampant Italian horsepower may must push me to like it even more!

[@ShadowFalcon]

@PreludeH22A5 Eh?!? By the same token the Aston Martin DB9 would be a Ferrari 599 with an Aston Martin Badge (They are both 2-seater coupes with RWD and a V12 engine).

[@hteverow]

@cayetanoluis ferrari has a long line of gt four seater cars. and have you heard of the 250 drogo, or the 456 venice? not at all the first time there's been an estate/shooting brake ferrari. besides, turn the traction control off/into race mode, and you have a rear wheel drive ferrari. no problem. perfect car.

[@superandy456]

@jamesjr934 sorry I meant why 3 door not 5. to me having an estate which is only 3 door seems to slighty defeat the point but I dunno i probabaly wrong.

[@acidrain55]

I really like the look of it to be honest I would love one.

[@The70srockfan]

how much does it cost?

[@CJM44.41]

@AudiABTr8 i agree with you i think ferrari could have spent more time designing the front end rather than taking if off the 458

[@TurboLag23]

@vitessemeister Exactly; it's like the GT-R's super-rich younger brother! If anything, it's actually even more useful than the GT-R given how big the rear seats look and how big the boot is. If I was given the choice between the two, I really don't know which I'd choose (and the GT-R's my favorite car in the world, by the way).

[@Sj1bby]

One of the very VERY few Ferraris on my wish list. That means Ferrari has gone different.

[@SCSI1888]

@BiggWormdpg yeah, I know that too. They fine-tune everything which is not what you get when you buy the same car. That's ridiculous.

[@Magnak]

Z4 M Coupe much?

[@ShadowFalcon]

@MisterGasMan More like BMW Z3 M Coupe (Shooting-Brake, not Hatchback. There's a major difference here).

[@MachXX2]

@simonwongyh All the lightweight Ferraris and the limited editions are definitely in that market.

[@Desmonddd2002]

@yAngI2ico I think what he meant was Enzo Ferrari like V12, Front engined Ferraris. lol

[@KaguyaRyuuji]

@JohnyGuidzz ...Derprarri?

[@TRDSpecs]

@Jeccidah you bit we are! with the 4WD and the back seat. Jakepot

[@ayman151985]

originally Mr. Enzo is not pleased with the idea that his cars being sold to public but he said he had done that to provide money to his racing team and keep in competition so i don think he would like any of the new production cars that are not made for racing

[@Mr83an]

1. April?

[@Foxtrotfreddy]

@yAngI2ico so what you are saying is that he used to drive a Lamborghini? :)

[@fraser77777]

how much is it

[@amaan08051994]

Who would've thought that one fine day, we all would be interested in knowing about the boot space in a Ferrari... :D

[@ShadowFalcon]

@MisterGasMan Well I think that the FF pulled it off. I think it looks good. And I think the ANGRYFACE of the 458 looks better on this.

[@youtoobization]

Hideous!! What IS that thing?? A compact station wagon?

[@RTWUROTTS]

Nick Mason was telling me he was taking one for a test drive!

[@HesteBremse]

Well its not my favorite, but i think it is clever, sounds great, looks ok - Rich people in the mountains going for outdoor activity and wanting something special but yet practical will consider this car for shure. Good job Ferrari

[@tttpietje560]

The rear is brilliant

[@Lakefield_]

yup, the press-car is always good

[@starlandliu]

Unlike lamborghini which looks almost the same with all of its models, Ferrari's design is distinctive. From F430 to California to F458 and now this FF, I don't see them sharing the same design platform.

[@jamesclery9809]

Genius like 10 years ahead!!

[@grandviewguy18]

I'd like to see a comparo of this vs the Porsche Panamera Turbo

[@groovy4]

It mean's their exploring. Doesn't mean they'll stop making world-class thoroughbred stallions

[@lestatelvampir69]

Don't you think it is really ugly from the back? I love the front, but honestly, they could have done a much better work at the rear of the car in design terms...

[@dcengland]

Ferrari doesnt want to build a SUV or a four door car like every other company is doing so this is the next best thing and i think it was a good compromise really.

[@Reddylion]

nice review. i am not at all fan of these big engined fuel guzzlers but atleast this one is little bit more practical with boot space !!

[@alphanuevo]

It's not a looker but it still sounds great!

[@MrGTR1988]

love to have one after GTR of course.

[@luedriver]

@aerlingus18 I meant that car sompanies call station wagons a different name, (maybe not touring) but they are still station wagons, much the same with this car, I hate it, ferrari makes super cars, so now I guess under the influence of bmw gt version of cars, they made this, which from the side looks like a z3 M coupe, only more "aero dynamic"? I dont think you can call it a lift back, although the truck lid does open like a hatch back...

[@vicdark0]

I actually like it, it's diferent, sounds and looks good in my opinion :)

[@nismo007]

I can hear clarkson saying, "they looked at the z3 and said hmmm nice car"

[@SummerTheFuzzy]

@shobin05 I can name one for starters, ferrari 330 GTC was beautiful.

[@simonwongyh]

@tinaalwayswins absolutely, Ferrari's in the past decade aren't just...mad enough. They have too much science in them and although they are all quick, there isn't enough madness in it, even the F50 and the Enzo can't match the status of the legendary F40. Maybe it's time for Ferrari to produce such a car.

[@CarloMartinini]

@yAngI2ico why?

[@LubosGames]

@SHIFTERnight And practical(not like the f430,360,458)

[@tepeke88]

So this is their "answer" to the porsche panamera right? Haha looks cool just maybe too similar to a panamera in my opinion!

[@JROD9496]

@horilazar ?

[@TomHeuving]

@r1sh12 Are you aware of the existence of the Ferrari 212 Berlinetta Le Mans? You should recognize the shapes of the body.

[@zanthus7]

The only thing I wish about this car is that it was afordable. Sticker price is over $300K.

[@PINGPAZ]

The back is just beautiful

[@billyjohnson777]

@seanymo scag and california are 4 seaters, but myself personally id rather drive a 458 everyday and have another car with 4 seats if i really needed it.

[@JesperMovies]

the sound

[@Nickomfacc]

Engine sounds good

[@renehsuperstar]

I´ve got nearly the same wheels on my Golf 3, without the ferrarilogo of course

[@ShadowFalcon]

@Jesse22H I still think the rear of the FF looks way more chiseled and edgy than the basic 911 form of the Panamera.

[@paco111ification]

@McLarenMercedes Well if they just made it a coupe, and cut the back off a little bit, it would be much better. But when you build a car company on racing and GT cars for many years, you cant just introduce a hacthback or this and not expect some uproar. Just like porshe when they released the cayenne.

[@NikoBell12]

I agree with you, shobin xD! I just saw one today and it's one gorgeous Ferrari. Definitely better looking than the 612 Scaglietti
