Ferrari Four 1

The FF is Ferrari's latest four-door, four-wheel wonder to arrive Hong Kong

The sound of a Grand Tourer motor engine rings loud when one mentions the car brand Ferrari. Famous for its dedication to creating high-end sports cars and converting its expertise from the racetrack to city roads, Ferrari marks a significant mark with its latest launch of the Ferrari Four designed by Pininfarina this year.

The FF notably has two significant alterations from your everyday Ferrari. First, we’re seeing its first four-seater automobile; and second, it explores the world of four-wheel drives. And true to the Ferrari spirit, this latest model boasts innovation and design creativity and yet melding extreme sports car performance.

This four-door model promises a groundbreaking performance as it features the first GDI V12 engine alongside a seven-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox. This translates to a high power output and outstanding fuel efficiency. In fact, the engine performs 660CV at 8,000rpm, and to turn those sharp corners with ultimate precision, a maximum torque of 683Nm at 6,000rpm is achieved by the four-wheel wonder.

Utmost effort has been put into making this automobile light as a feather to create a weight-power ratio of 2.7kg/CV, thus, the car has been engineered with new castings and a new bodyshell, it also adopts the third generation Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes which has been enhanced for better durability.

There is no doubt that this car is no small potato in the sack, in fact, even Road Runner would be given a run for his money next to this car as it triumphs a top speed of 335km/h; and accelerates from 0 to 200 km/h in an astounding 11 seconds.

With this bigger car from Ferrari, suspension and stability is not compromised in any way with the introduction of its custom formulised four-wheel drive system, 4RM. The impressive system gives each wheel a brain of its own to distribute torque individually, and vehicle controls E-Diff, F1-Trac and PTU have been combined into a single CPU.
