Ferrai 2013

As Ferrari follows the recent super car maker trend of expanding beyond typical fare such as their signature new V12 flagship, we’re hoping that the company doesn’t go so far as to produce their rumored SUV concep. However, with the now two-year-old FF, the company is on the right track in appealing to the luxury market with not only the world’s fastest four-seater but also the company’s first ever four-wheel drive production vehicle4

Successor to the 612 Scaglietti with coincidental design hints from the 1961-2 with Short Wheel Base (SWB) from the racing division, the 12-cylinder FF produces an awe-inspiring 650-plus horsepower (or, as the Italians say it, 660 Cavalli Vapores or CVs) when achieving a total rpm of 8000, with maximum torque of approximately 504 lb.-ft. at around 6000 rpm. The FF has a top speed of about 208 miles per hour and can hit zero to 62 in 3.7 seconds. However, if you’re really trying to impress your three passengers, we’d suggest attempting Ferrari’s stated zero to 124 mph, which can apparently take just 11 seconds. Not bad for the upscale equivalent of a station wagon
