Jason Cammisa on the 2017 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso - Vintage Motor Trend Ignition Ep.173

Spaghetti-Western, meet the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. Lovely V-12, beautiful deer in the woods, and an idiot at 8000 rpm on a gorgeous back road.
Full review of the GTC4 Lusso including tech explanation of the 4RM awd system.

They only call them SUVs. They are all in fact Station Wagons if they are Rear-Wheel-Drive, and Minivans with Front-Wheel-Drive.

[@thegirthquake8574]

If anyone is curious, he mocked the GTC4 for having massively uncomfortable seats, stating that the seats in the colosseum are more comfortable. That's the rough translation of the Italian bit in the beginning.

[@joeteasley155]

Their not uncomfortable at all...

@@thegirthquake8574 Thx. I speak very basic Portuguese and my first impression was something to do with a turtle as in as comfortable as the back of one. Well, at the dealership showroom the Lusso seats did not seem bad….

[@beauxr.benoit1374]

There is nothing wrong with a Station Wagon. A Shooting Brake for this. It is the cross between a Musclecar, (Sportscar in this case) and an Utility vehicle. The only thing better is a truck.

So are some Ferrari V8s like the 458 Italia.

[@darius2640]

the design was ahead of its time you could tell me it was released today and I would believe you

[@LOLHICRONO]

2016 is barely "another time".

[@coreygolphenee9633]

No it's timeless as in if you realized it in any era of design it would be pretty

[@beauxr.benoit1374]

This car is ahead of its time. This term is a curse to a car, and Companies do not use it. If it is used to describe a car in ads, no one usually buys it.

[@Tential1]

@@LOLHICRONO it still is though. Tastes changed, and shooting break/wagon/hatchback looks are in. Just look at the love for the rs6 now. So I really think if ferrari released this design again today, they would finally get sales enough to justify it. I understand why they felt they should move to an suv like design, but I don't think they should have killed off this. I know it's one extra model, and ferrari is small, but the suv is 4 doors. It's different than this. 2 doors on this really changes it.

[@vjaneczko]

Absolutely THE BEST 60-second intro to any video clip EVER! HELL YEAH!

[@blakslee720]

I seriously wish I could pay Jason for 1 hour of his time, sit down and discuss "what should I buy" because he find so many golden nuggets of info/character of a car that just isn't available during a 30 minute test drive

...gloriously balanced engine, gentle gear shifts, sound proofing, awesome shocks, space grade steering and sound proofing. All that tech just to focus the driver on one important thing... ...those uncomfortable seats that obey any ergonomy that GT cruiser should stand for...:P

[@LarryKippings]

The seats are fine, maybe feel hard when you first get in, but really comfortable over long distances. Firm, but supportive, and more give than you’d think.

[@davidperry4013]

Ive sat in an Lamborghini Aventador with comfort seats and I wouldn’t call the seats hard but, I call them firm and they are actually very comfortable. A hard seat would be a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo but even those are comfortable.

[@artysanmobile]

It’s ironic that, without their technical prowess in racing, Ferrari could not have built this GT car. Getting all this mind-bogglingly complicated tech absolutely perfect in a very limited run is antithetical to engineering in general and nearly impossible in practice. Phenomenal work.

I own a Lusso, and the seats are fine, really comfortable on long journeys. No pain at all, and I suffer historically from a bad back. Mine have alcantara centres and leather sides, which may be more comfortable than all leather?

[@josephjewellers]

Love Lusso

[@UOTDF]

I own one of these (and I’m not 95 - not even close). You are completely unfair saying there are bugs/glitches in the infotainment software. The only thing I have encountered is that there is occasionally an odd way of dismissing the seat heater overlay. Everything else has been 100% fine and working. And I’ve just brought it home from a 5 day tarmac rally… the seats felt great for the trip, but honestly, you don’t spend much time thinking about seats in an event like that!

[@5abivt]

There is no way there is a gas station close enough to drive that car like that !! 😅

[@ruk2023--]

I change my mind about my three car garage all the time but a GTC4 never shifts from the number one slot.

[@markcarter9476]

Amazing scenery. Personally I like the looks of the GTC4 (especially as it not in Ferari red) but the looks are probably challenging to most. I would cut this car from my wish list only on the grounds that the 'unique' four wheel drive system will probably break at some point and be crippling expensive to return to working order.

[@superchargedsteve3411]

Why on earth did Ferrari mess up the seats on a grand touring luxury vehicle? I have a 2007 599 with the Daytona carbon buckets and they are incredibly comfortable.

[@UOTDF]

They didn’t mess up the seats. I’ve got one. The seats are perfectly fine

[@LarryKippings]

@@UOTDF Yeah, me too. My Lusso seats are really comfortable. Now the Roma seats…… that’s a different story.

[@davidperry4013]

Lamborghini Gallardos have extremely firm seats but they are actually comfortable. The Lamborghini Aventador comfort seats on the other hand are less firm and it is very comfortable and possibly the comfiest seat I’ve ever sat on. Never sat in a Ferrari though.
