The FF is a three-door shooting brake with four seats and replaced the 612 Scaglietti in 2011. Its name stands for "Ferrari Four": four seats and, for the first time in a production Ferrari, all-wheel drive. The 6.3-liter V12 delivers 660 PS, and the top speed is 335 km/h. Lowie Vermeersch at Pininfarina and Flavio Manzoni at the Ferrari Styling Centre shaped its lines; at launch, it was the fastest four-seater in the world.

Good to know
- Ferrari had never built a production shooting brake before; only the custom 250 GT Bread Van followed a similar path, developed by breakaway Ferrari engineers.
- The dual-clutch transmission is positioned at the rear of the car, resulting in a 47-to-53 percent weight distribution.
- The all-wheel-drive system, called "4RM," weighs only half as much as conventional systems and helps keep the center of gravity low.
- At the presentation, Ferrari announced that the entire first production run was already sold out; 800 FF units per year had been planned.

Origins
Development of a successor to the 612 Scaglietti began in 2007, led by Flavio Manzoni and Lowie Vermeersch, former design director at Pininfarina. Ferrari initially wanted to derive the car from the Pininfarina Sintesi concept car; then Italdesign took over and submitted an angular proposal. Ultimately, the project returned to Pininfarina, with further work carried out at the Ferrari Styling Centre. The body was produced by supplier Fontana.
Technology
The body is predominantly an aluminum spaceframe construction. Compared to its predecessor, it reduces weight by five percent while increasing torsional rigidity by six percent. The electronic rear differential sits inside the transmission housing, and all chassis and powertrain systems—including magnetorheological dampers and stability control—are integrated into a single control module. The FF essentially shares its V12 with the F12berlinetta, which followed one year later.
Design and aerodynamics
The swept-back headlights evoke the 458 Italia, while the two round taillights are shared with the 458 and 599 GTB Fiorano. Great effort went into aerodynamic management: the two-stage rear diffuser features an airfoil center section, and vents on the flanks and rear expel air from the wheel wells, cutting lift and drag.
Market and accolades
At its launch, the FF was the fastest four-seater in the world and, after the 599 GTO, Ferrari's second-fastest grand tourer. Critics praised its design, but noted its high price tag. In 2011, it was named Top Gear's "Estate Car of the Year." A total of 2291 units were built until production ended in 2016; it was succeeded by the GTC4Lusso.
