Official FF World Premiere

His dad drove V12 2+2s, I think he'd be in favor of these.

 

Enzo would have supported any project that helped fund the race cars.

 

Yes, I saw the car yesterday in Maranello in various colours. It is absolutely stunning live! Options include glass roof, video screens in the head rests, 4 cm additional height below 30 km/h, an extra display for the front passenger with speed, rpms etc.

This thing has more HP than a 599, more torque than a 599, less fuel consumption than a 599, sounds like a beast, 4WD, looks sensational and drives 4 people + some luggage. I couldn't ask for more (before actually driving it).

 

It really is a tour de force, thanks for the information

Don't forget, Bentley has already sold over 10k Continental GTs, that is clearly the target audience and there is a market for this car.

 

Very well said, all the Ferrari passion and emotion is there, and you can take that just about anywhere

 

It will be interesting to see what production numbers are like, I can definitely see more than the 612 accomplished

 

The fact that launch control works in the snow is pretty cool.

 

It looks like there was extensive testing on the snow, I believe the figure was 8 and a bit seconds to 60 on the snow

 

I still don't get it; what is the reason to put 660 hp in an SUV that is really a utility car that you can drive the kids to school at 190+mph.And an interior that really doesn't deserve the kind of wear and tear a functional SUV gets.

Notice how all the promo pictures feature mostly the front end and avoid the bulbous rearend.

Other than the performance, and Bentley- like interior, what makes this car worth 300k more than say a nice Land Rover or similar luxury SUV.

Well before everyone piles on me I will admit it is a terrific car but I still don't like the rear end and practical is not what Ferrari is all about. Ferrari has not "broken with tradition",they have joined it.

 

If you don't get it then it probably isn't for you. I actually think Felipe did a pretty good job in the presentation of explaining it. It's a Ferrari to spread the magic, passion and emotions to not only weather/terrain but also with the entire family. To me it's incredible that this car can do that, others feel differently, to each his own

 

Anyone else notice at 46 mins in. There was a few ferrari movie clips playing on the rear seat head rest tvs. They were ferris buellers day of and Vanilla Skys. Both replicas, does this mean Ferrari now recognise replicas God knows i dont recognise ferrari these days.

 

Glass roof will be avail after Oct production. Will not be like 612 were you can vary the darkness of the glass, but it will have some heat reflective and power saving features.

 

I watched the video, certainly one of the most boring presentation I could ever see. Poor Di Montezemolo selling the FF like a VW Sharan. Both Massa and Alonso are absolutely ridiculous.

 

Certainly your opinion, care to share why?

 

Well, there is a lot to say but to summarize, it's 53 minutes of blabla without a single sign of enthusiasm for the car...

 

I must have seen a different presentation then.

What would you have wanted them to do? A big happy dance?

 

I have to agree with this, I could sense a real passion and excitement about the car. The official video for the car was really well done too, the CGI one was dumb but other than that I thought it was great

 

I simply have to agree.I almost turned it off but having been such a critic I felt I should stick it out to see if my opinion changed. To my knowledge this is the first time Ferrari's marketing program has had to "explain " a car to us.

 

But that's the whole idea of the car, it's meant to be driven everyday year round. Previous Ferrari's only really worked during a sunny day, that restricts a GT car of it's purposes. Now the Ferrari passion can be accessible whenever the mood takes, even if the day is sour

 

OK, OK, you're exactly right.Perhaps a pickup next, no?

To your credit Tifosi, your passion for all things Ferrari is very apparent and I dare say you would have done a better job introducing this model to us "regular Ferrari guys" than the stuffed shirts who tried so pathetically to convince us we needed a new understanding of what Ferrari..er,Fiat was all about.

Did Liybia have anything to do with this since Quadafi owns a big piece of Fiat ( I just read )?

 

I think this is as far as Ferrari will push the envelope, maybe that would explain why they were "explaining" the car. There were probably a lot of new members in the audience as well, it is a totally new market.

I thank you for your kind words, and possibly I would have been Yes I do have a passion for Ferrari, perhaps with this car I could be considered a "fanboy" but in all honesty I haven't had a Ferrari excite me as much as this car has. Of course I love most of the Ferrari models, though there are some I really don't care for, but I love the fact that this car is so capable. Ferrari says it best on it's website "Emotion without limits," I personally would want to drive my Ferrari as often as I could. I wouldn't want rain or even snow to be able to deflate my passion as I walk to the car with keys in hand. To me it makes perfect sense, but of course I haven't exactly experienced what past and current owners expect and want in their drive. Maybe it's partly my love for the WRC and the Lancia Stratos (the only really successful "Ferrari" rally car).

I guess that's a brief summation of my thoughts toward this car. It's a car I could enjoy with the whole family, and drive up to the mountains on a week long getaway and not worry about the weather. I have a real passion for this car, especially since it will depreciate like all the 4 seaters

 

Tifosi you said it well and if you get an FF I will be the last person to criticize you.

For what it's designed to be it is unquestionably the final step up.
