Ferrari is finally doing what Porsche has been doing for what... 10 years now ? I mean making other things then 2-seaters. Its a nice change, now beauty is in the eye of the beholder <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/smile.gif"></A>
well, i am really happy to see this car is made for two reasons, 1. i really like shooting brakes, and this car will bring this type of cars into life. i hope other car makers make shooting brakes also (like aston martin and maserati). 2. ferrari using 4wd system. no-one can deny ferrari effort in the cars technologies, and using the 4wd will bring intersting competetions with others in terms of design, i am still disapointed with this car and i still belive ferrari/piininfarina can do better. soon i will post my idea of ferrari shooting brkae which i did 1 year back (basd on 550/575)
It's better because it is significantly lighter as it has no drive shafts connecting the frontwheels with the gearbox. The front wheels are disconnected unless there is really a need for them to drive. This makes the FF feel exactly like a RWD car 99% of the time driving it. The steering feel is better than other AWD because the car has no traditional front diff but and seperate clutches on each front drive shafts allowing the fron wheels to run free. It is a totally different experience from driving any other AWD car.
Finally making other things than 2 seaters? What planet do you live on? A few ferrari 4 seaters/2+2: 612 Scaglietti 456 GT 412 400GT/i 365 GTC/4 365 GT4 2+2 365 GT 2+2 330 GT 2+2 330 GTC 250 GT Berlinetta ”Lusso” 400 SuperAmerica 250 GTE 2+2 250 GT Ellena 250 GT Boano 250 Europa 166 Inter
It's an amzing looking piece of art! Why? Because you can carry four adults so that all of them can have fun with the car experience! It's something new that we all have to get use to it, same with the panamera...
I thought it was sort of established that what makes it look like shit is not the fact that it'a a shooting brake, but it's uugly front and chinese looking details
