When the Ferrari FF launched it took the storied Italian marque to a place we've never seen before. Looking similar to a Sultan of Brunei one-off car, the FF was the first Ferrari hatchback and it was the first all-wheel driver F car.
It was crazy!
While its styling may have not bowled over some and others were apprehensive about an AWD Ferrari, after I drove it that was all put aside. There's something magical about a Ferrari V12 that just stirs the soul. And, boy, does this big dog like to perform.
Now that the FF has aged a bit the Ferrari team decided to spruce it up a bit. While the motor remains largely the same in its naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 form — it now makes 680 horsepower and 514 lb.-ft. of torque — its exterior and interior have been revamped extensively. You'll note the more classical and sharp lines on the outside. On the inside the vehicle appears way more futuristic with its 10+-inch infotainment screen and updated steering wheel.
But, what does this add up to, ultimately? Find out with this video review of the new GTC4 Lusso.
Here at Autocar we were always big fans of the Ferrari FF: Ferrari's quirky 'breadvan' shaped four-seater. Now, the FF has been updated, revised and refreshed, and gets a new name. This is the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso.
And this is our drive on it, on some of the most beautiful - if busy - mountain roads that Europe has to offer. We find out how four-wheel steer combines with four-wheel drive and a sonorous 6.3-litre, naturally-aspirated V12 engine that revs to 8250rpm.
But, what do you reckon: a GTC4 Lusso? Or a Bentley Continental GT, Rolls-Royce Wraith or Aston Martin DB11? Comment below!
