For Despite measuring almost five metres in length, the Ferrari FF handles with poise and precision. The performance from the V12 engine is truly staggering.
Against For a car costing north of a quarter of a million pounds, some of the fixtures and fittings are a little underwhelming.
Four seats, four-wheel-drive and ferociously fast; the Ferrari FF is a super-saloon for all the family.
What makes the Ferrari FF unique is the fact that this is Ferrari’s first ever four-wheel-drive car. Unlike conventional all-wheel-drive cars, though, there’s no mechanical link between the FF’s front and rear axles.
Most of the time the drive goes only to the rear wheels; it’s only when electronic sensors detect a lack of traction that a separate drivegear running off the front of the engine is called upon to power the front wheels.
That power comes from a direct-injection 651bhp 6.3-litre V12 and weighing in at just 1880kg, its not surprising that the FF’s performance is truly explosive.
Of course, Ferrari is marketing the FF as a practical everyday supercar, and it’s easy to see why. There’s a decent amount of space in the back seats, with head- and legroom to spare, while a big boot with split-fold rear seat facility means the FF is a spectacular supercar that all the family can enjoy.
