Ferrari FF: First Look

The FF, which is an acronym for Ferrari Four, will seat four and has part-time all-wheel drive. That’s a big deal; it’s the first time a Ferrari has ever had an all-wheel-drive system. It’s lightweight, according to the automaker, enough so that the FF has nearly perfect weight distribution (47/53).

Overall, the look stands out compared with Ferrari’s five other models. The FF replaces the 612 Scaglietti and looks like a cross between the 599 in the rear and the 458 Italia up front, except with a hatchback-like rear.

The FF features Ferrari’s new V-12 powertrain, which produces an estimated 651 horsepower and 504 pounds-feet of torque. It’s mated to a Getrag dual-clutch F1 gearbox. The powertrain is capable of propelling the car from zero to 62 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds.

The FF will officially debut at the 2011 Geneva International Motor Show in March. In the meantime, check out more photos below. We’ll have more U.S.-specific information once Ferrari makes it available.
