225 or dare I say 200 MSRP would make sense here. Wheels look good. This car makes complete sense to me. And as I said in the long Lusso review ... design by committee: Adler Instrument Panel & Door Trim, others Dr.Schneider Air Vents, Center Console Kss Steering wheel Lear Seats Str Bumpers and light clusters FONTANA Body in White
Absolutely ... 5 years tops. The quality, uniqueness, and design integrity as the last of PF. Ferrari has changed, that era is over.
Another criticism of the FF is the tiny fuel tank. With this V8, if they keep a reasonably sized tank it would save multiple visits to the pump. Being a Ferrari, I'm not so bothered about fuel economy. However, it is boring having to fill up all the time because the tank holds next to nothing.
I think I would consider it if it was a 4wd but with no 4wd the car does not seem that useful to people in the northern part of the country. Might as well buy a M5 for 1/3 of the price. I think they might be sacred if they make it 4wd they no one would buy the v12.
The real issue with this car.... Are posts about it going in this forum? Or in the 458/488 or Cali forums? Or does it get a forum all to itself? An existential moment for Ferrarichat!
These are called "automotive suppliers", used for the GTC4 and just about every other Ferrari. Including your beloved FF, body panels by Fontana as well...
Ferrari targets new market with GTC4 Lusso T - Business Insider In this article they said first 4 seat "Turbo" v8 - that was a proper description. I've always liked the FF. I think this is all just part of Sergio's march to 9,999
I think this is a good move from Ferrari. Makes sense and I would have done it too. I reckon a 4x4 version will eventually come, once they are sure about the way the two engines sell and what impact on the market the new format has. I think the V8 could drive a little better, or at least handle better. It won't have that V12 though, and for some, that will be enough to keep them in the bigger engined car. I would still be a V12 buyer rather than a V8 in this car, most likely. Two seat 8s and four seat 12s seem to go well together in the garage and offer a different enough experience. If the V8 Lusso was significantly better handling, that might cause me to think again but I would probably miss that V12 wail and the smoothness a 12 has over an 8 (being a multiple of three engine rather than four).
I think this car heralds a first for Ferrari: instead of selling racing cars you can use on the road, now they sell high performance road cars. But this is it crowded field: Bentley and Porsche offer similar cars with much better options especially if you want four-wheel-drive. We have not seen pricing, but if the price is not less than about 75% of the GTC4, I think they're going to have trouble moving this one.
I got an email from Ferrari.com where they announce this as Discover the new GTC4Lusso T FERRARI’S NEW TAKE ON THE GT CONCEPT AIMED AT DRIVERS DEMANDING SPORTING DRIVING AND VERSATILITY. After the huge success of GTC4Lusso which raised the performance bar for Ferrari’s signature four-seater 12-cylinder GTs, the Prancing Horse now announces the arrival of the new GTC4Lusso T, the first four-seater to sport a V8 engine. I must miss the seat count on the GT4 and the Mondial--I count 4 seats on my 82. And only 8 spark plugs.
I'll take one a year after the depreciation hit if I can get it for around $150k. Like the idea very much.
The fuel range on every single contemporary Ferrari I´ve driven is sad. Matters made annoyingly worse when the fuel gauge just goes to limited and refuses to read out range, but at seemingly random intervals suddenly jumps back to low with 30-100 miles indicated range. Then you park the car with 2 or 3 "lines" of fuel, when you start it up half an hour later the gauge reads one red line, aka reserve tank level..... Happened to me several times in the 488, Cali T and FF. Maybe just me being peculiar, but the fact that the car will not read out indicated range at all times is something that irritates me much more than it probably should. What is "low range", considering the gauge jumps (flicks) up and down like a wild kangaroo? Compare it to the Bentley CGT, you see the indicated range in miles all the way down to 0. Peace of mind.
