A family-car Ferrari sounds like a contradiction from a brand famed for F1 ultra-performance. But that’s exactly what the Prancing Horse has done in building the Ferrari FF. And they’ve made it four-wheel drive … perfect for battling the rough terrain of the private school drop-off zone.
The $625,000 car - the first of which landed in Australia this week on its world trip to entice potential customers - is the successor to the 612 Scaglietti. It carries a 486kW/683Nm direct-injection 6.3-litre V12 with its block modified from the 612, mated to a dual-clutch seven-speed transmission with steering wheel paddle-shifters.
The engine sits behind the front axle line so the drive out to the front wheels comes off the nose of a new crankshaft. There are three transmission/engine management modes: automatic, sport and race. The traction system is switchable from wet, ice and snow to - for the brave - ESC completely off.
It gets to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and the massive carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes on the 20-in wheels it back from that speed to a dead stop in 2.7 seconds - and 35m.
