First production Ferrari AWD system too.
It does look a CRAPLOAD better than it's German competitors
I'm pretty sure in 50 years we will all be driving the exact same car produced by 5 different companies.

an italian z3 hatchback sitting on top of a subaru outback!

i will admit i wasnt too thrilled with the looks of it until i saw it in motion. it is a very nice looking car but for $700k i could buy all the cars my heart desires and still be able to buy a nice house.

I actually like it. At first glance it looked a bit odd like a sexier BMW M coupe, but it grows on you, and once you hear the engine, you're sold.

The AWD part doesn't excite me as the overwhelming majority of Ferrari owners will not use it for commuting in bad weather. besides, practical 4 seat Ferrari's were never big sellers after the 1960's.


It would not surprise me if Ferrari eventually offers a RWD version.

The only Ferrari worth owning on the East Coast... yes please!

$700,000... Yeah, I'll buy a 599 GTO and have money left over for a down payment on a home...

I think it's beautiful, and certainly worlds nicer looking than the bland frogeyed 612. A worthy followup to the 456, 6 years late.

I wonder what the real name for it will be. FF is a s*** name for ANY car, but is entirely inadequate for a Ferrari.

Exactly my thoughts. I'm not fond of AWD and certainly don't want it in my Ferrari. Fortunately it's looking like it'll be a heavily rear-biased AWD system (15% max power up front) so it isn't a dealbreaker.

Clearly that's not priced in US Dollars, or is a typo. Even high-end Ferraris don't price anywhere near that high, and this being a Scaglietti replacement will slot right in the middle of Ferrari's dollar values. It'll probably end up in the ~$300k range, right where the Scaglietti sits.

It's better than the name of their F1 car this year, the F150th Italia (really rolls off the tongue). I think they should let Sebastian Vettel name their cars, I'd drive something called "Kate's Dirty Sister" (http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_ ... =RedBullFR)

I've driven Kate's dirty sister. She's fine on the curves, but tends to wander on the straightaways.

But was there any problem putting your junk in her trunk?

Great looking car actually but I still think a Ferrari should never be a wagon of any type.

yeah...that looks like complete rectum MoD. Add that to the fact that I abhor the 456 in the first place...
And 700k is most definitely not going to be it's price unless it's made entirely of carbon fiber and produces 1200 horsepower.

Decidedly not a wagon. The as-mentioned shooting brake, a liftback, or a hatchback.

No matter what of the three you'd call it, I want.

Would it be more polite to describe the Ferrari FF as the "Jennifer Lopez" of sports cars? As in sleek looking until you get to her big azzzz???

Eh...tastes vary. The 456 is one of my favorite Ferraris, and I thing all of its variants are beautiful.

And, once again, there's no way in Hell it will cost $700k. The article gets a big F for not clarifying the currency it's referring to, but it's definitely not USD.

I read somewhere that it was going to list at $330K American. We'll see what happens

Actually, I think it probably IS in US dollars. Probably on the low side as well!

Once it comes out, I think it will equate to about $150,000 euros. Lol. :laugh:
