Four Seats – Ferrari FF
The Ferrari FF (FF meaning "Ferrari
Four", for four seats and four-wheel drive) is a grand
tourer presented
by Ferrari on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show.It is Ferrari's
first production four-wheel drive model.The body style has been described as a shooting-brake, a type of
sporting station wagon/estate car with two
doors.It replaced the 612
Scaglietti grand
tourer. By : Jccollbox.
The FF has a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph) and it accelerates from
zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. Ferrari states that
the FF is the world's fastest four-seat automobile. The FF sells for
$300,000 USD, with 800 being produced during the first year.
Specifications
Engine
Transmission
The FF is
equipped with a 7-speed double-clutch semi-automatic paddle shift system similar
to the California and 458 Italia.
Four
wheel drive system
The new four-wheel drive system,
engineered and patented by Ferrari, is called 4RM: it is around 50%
lighter than a conventional system, and provides power intelligently to each of
the four wheels as needed.[3] It
only functions when the manettino dial on the steering wheel is in the
"comfort" or "snow" positions, leaving the car most often
in the traditional rear wheel drive layout.

Specifications
Engine
The Ferrari FF has the largest
capacity road-going Ferrari engine ever produced: a 6,262 cc (6.3 L;
382.1 cu in) naturally aspirated direct injected 65° V12, which produces 660 PS
(485 kW; 651 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 683 N·m (504 lb·ft) of
torque at 6000 rpm.By
: Jccollbox.

Four
wheel drive system
The new four-wheel drive system,
engineered and patented by Ferrari, is called 4RM: it is around 50%
lighter than a conventional system, and provides power intelligently to each of
the four wheels as needed.[3] It
only functions when the manettino dial on the steering wheel is in the
"comfort" or "snow" positions, leaving the car most often
in the traditional rear wheel drive layout.
Ferrari first use of 4RM was in a
prototype created in the end of the 80s, called 408 4RM (4.0 liter, 8 cylinder, 4 Ruote Motrici,
four-wheel drive).
This system is based around a
second, simple, gearbox (gears and other components built by Carraro), taking power from the front of
the engine. This gearbox (designated "power take off unit", or PTU)
has only two forward gears (2nd and 4th) plus reverse (with gear ratios 6%
taller than the corresponding ratios in the main gearbox), so the system is
only active in 1st to 4th gears.By:Jccollbox. The connection between this
gearbox and each front wheel is via independenthaldex-type clutches, without a differential. Due to the difference in ratios
"the clutches continually slip" and only transmit, at most, 20%
of the engine's torque. A detailed description of the system (based on a
conversation with Roberto Fedeli, Ferrari's technical director) has been
published.
Design
Exterior
The FF
shares the design language of contemporary Ferraris, including the pulled-back
headlights of the 458 Italia, and the twin circular
taillights seen on the 458 as well as the 599 GTB Fiorano. Designed under the direction ofLowie Vermeersch, former Design Director at Pininfarina, work on the shooting brake concept initially
started following the creation of the Sintesi show car of 2007.By:Jccollbox. Distinctive styling elements include a large
egg-crate grille, defined side skirts, and four exhaust tips. The shooting brake configuration is a departure from the
conventional wedge shape of modern Ferraris, and the FF has been likened to the
similarly-shaped 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB
