Fast Four

2012 Ferrari FF
And here it is: Ferrari's new flagship GT car. They call it the FF which is an acronym for "Fast Four", and I think four is the keyword here. This car, like it's predecessor, the 612  Scaglietti, has four seats so you can seat your friends or your grandchildren. And, new for Ferrari, those rear seats flip down for more trunk space if you are doing some grocery shopping. This is one fast shopping cart though. It features the same 6.2-liter V12 engine that you get in a 599 GTO, only the power goes up to 651. 0 to 60 is done in an astonishing 3.7 seconds on its way to a catastrophic top speed of 208 MPH. This could possibly be the fastest GT car on earth. Also, that engine is mated to Ferrari's 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission for seamless gear changes as your driving along. As for design, this car borrows the front facial look of the beautiful Ferrari 458 Italia. 

That's no Photoshop. That's real.
The rest of car was designed in a shooting brake type of style. As for drivetrain, this, ladies and gentlemen, is the first Ferrari in history to be fitted with, wait for it.....FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE! That's right! So, for the first time ever in a Ferrari, you can confidently drive fast on snow, dirt, or wet surfaces and not worry about a thing. This car is an exciting move up for Ferrari in terms of design and technology. Well done, Modena! Look for the new FF later this year.
