The Ferrari FF
The Ferrari FF is a luxury car Type F151 the meaning of two FF is: Ferrari Four, for four seats and four-wheel drive is a large full-size roadster presented by the Italian automaker Ferrari on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the large roadster 612 Scaglietti. It is Ferrari's first four-wheel drive production model. [The body style has been described as a shooting-brake, a type of two-door hatchback/estate sports car. The FF has a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. Ferrari claims that the FF was the fastest four-seat automobile in the world when it was released to the public. The FF cost US$300,000, with 800 produced in the first year.
1 Engine
At the time of its launch, the Ferrari FF was equipped with the largest Ferrari road-going engine ever produced: a naturally aspirated 6,262 cc (6.3 L; 382.1 cu in) F140 EB V12 with 65° direct injection, producing 485 kW (659 PS; 650 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 683 N⋅m (504 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
2 Transmission
The FF is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a paddle-shift system similar to the California, 458 Italia, and F12berlinetta.
3 Four-wheel drive system
The FF's suspension and braking system, as well as the V12 engine.
The new four-wheel drive system, designed and patented by Ferrari, is called 4WD: it is about 50 percent lighter than a conventional system, and delivers power intelligently to all four wheels as needed. It only works when the steering wheel knob is in the "comfort" or "snow" position, leaving the car mostly in the traditional rear-wheel drive configuration.
Ferrari's first use of 4WD was on a prototype developed in the late 1980s, called the 408 4WD (short for "4.0 liter, 8 cylinder, 4 Ruote Motrici", which means "four wheel drive").
This system is based on a simple second gearbox (gears and other components built by Carraro Engineering), taking power from the front of the engine. This gearbox (called the "power take off unit", or PTU) has only two forward gears (2nd and 4th) plus reverse (with ratios 6% higher than the corresponding ratios of the main gearbox), so the system is only active from 1st to 4th gear. The connection between this gearbox and each front wheel is via independent Haldex clutches, without a differential. Due to the difference in gear ratios, "the clutches slip continuously" and transmit, at most, only 20% of the engine torque. A detailed description of the system (based on a conversation with Roberto Fedeli, Ferrari's technical director) has been published.
4 Design
1 Exterior
The FF shares the styling language of contemporary Ferraris, including the 458 Italia's pulled-back headlights, and the dual circular taillights found on the 458 as well as the 599 GTB Fiorano. Conceived under the direction of Lowie Vermeersch, former design director at Pininfarina, and Flavio Manzoni of Ferrari's styling center, work on the shooting brake concept began after the creation of the 2007 Sintesi show car Distinctive styling elements include a large "egg carton" grille, defined side skirts and four exhaust tips. The handbrake configuration deviates from the conventional wedge shape of modern Ferraris, and the FF has been compared to the similarly shaped 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo. The FF's exterior design produced a drag coefficient of Cd=0.329.
2 Interior
The combination of a hatchback design and folding rear seats gives the Ferrari FF a trunk capacity of 450 to 800 liters (16 to 28 cu ft). Luxury is the main feature of the interior and the use of leather is incorporated throughout, just like the FF's predecessors. Comfort features such as premium air conditioning, GPS navigation system, carpeting and audio system are also used.
