The Ferrari FF was launched at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show as the company’s first production all-wheel-drive model. Essentially developed as a successor to the 612 Scaglietti, the FF is a rather unusual grand tourer, sporting a shooting-brake-like rear end instead of Ferrari’s traditional coupe styling. Often compared to the 250 GT SWB Breadvan because of its appearance, the FF features foldable rear seats and a trunk capacity of up to 28 cubic feet, a rare feat for both a Ferrari and grand tourer that posts near-supercar performance numbers. The combination of hatchback-like design, a powerful V-12 engine and all-wheel drive made the FF an exotic among exotics.
In its fourth model year as of 2015, the FF is set to receive a much-deserved facelift, with the updated model to hit showrooms for the 2016 model year. The upgrades Ferrari is working on are still a mystery as of February 2015, but the fact that the FF is getting a refresh has become a fact now that our spy photographers spotted a prototype during testing in Europe. Check out the details in my speculative review below.
Updated 11/30/2015: A new report on the next Ferrari FF indicates that the facelift will come with a "surprise" for its fans. Speaking to Indian Autos Blog, Enrico Galliera, Senior Vice-President Commercial & Marketing, Ferrari SpA, said: "we’re working to further innovate the car, it’s too early to say when and how. But our clients will have surprise in the future." While he did not offered any other details, it is believed that the car’s output will be increased to about 700 horsepower, while the 7-speed double-clutch transmission will be replaced by a new 8-speed unit.
