[[File:Ferrari_FF_Autosalon_Genf.JPG|thumb|Ferrari FF Concept presented at 2011 Geneva Motor Show]]
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]] a type of sporting [[hatchback]]/estate car with two doors. The car is a shooting brake, which was conceived to take gentlemen on the hunt with their firearms and dogs. While the name has been loosely applied to station wagons in general, the most famous shooting brakes had custom two-door bodies fitted to the chassis of pedigreed cars from the likes of Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar and Rolls-Royce.  It replaced the [[Ferrari 612 Scaglietti|612 Scaglietti]] grand tourer. The FF has a top speed of {{Convert|335|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}} and it accelerates from zero to {{Convert|100|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}} in 3.7 seconds. Ferrari states that the FF was the world's fastest four-seat automobile upon its release to the public. The FF costs US$300,000,  with 800 being produced during the first year.

==Specifications==

===Engine===
At the time of its unveiling Ferrari FF has the largest capacity road-going Ferrari engine ever produced: a [[Ferrari F140 engine|F140 EB]] {{convert|6262|cc|L cuin|abbr=on|1}} naturally aspirated direct injected 65° [[V12 engine|V12]], which produces {{Convert|660|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 8,000 rpm and {{Convert|683|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on}} of torque at 6000 rpm.

===Transmission===
The FF is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch [[Semi-automatic transmission|semi-automatic]] paddle shift system similar to the [[Ferrari California|California]], the [[Ferrari 458 Italia|458 Italia]], and the [[Ferrari F12berlinetta|F12berlinetta]].

===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. It functions only 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's first use of 4RM was in a prototype created in the end of the 80s, called 408 4RM (abbreviation of "4.0 liter, 8 cylinder, 4 [[:wiktionary:ruota|Ruote]] Motrici", meaning "four-wheel drive").

This system is based around a second, simple, gearbox (gears and other components built by [[Carraro Engineering]]), 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. The connection between this gearbox and each front wheel is via independent [[Haldex Traction|haldex]]-type [[clutch]]es, without a [[differential (mechanical device)|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===
[[File:Ferrari FF - Flickr - Alexandre Prévot (1) (cropped).jpg|thumb|Ferrari FF]]
The FF shares the design language of contemporary Ferraris, including the pulled-back headlights of the [[Ferrari 458 Italia|458 Italia]], and the twin circular taillights seen on the 458 as well as the [[Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano|599 GTB Fiorano]]. Designed under the direction of [[Lowie Vermeersch]], former Design Director at [[Pininfarina]], and [[Flavio Manzoni]], Ferrari’s Styling Centre, work on the shooting brake concept initially started following the creation of the [[Pininfarina Sintesi|Sintesi]] show car of 2007. 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 Drogo|Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo]] race car.

===Interior===
The combination of [[hatchback]]-like [[shooting-brake]] design and collapsible rear seats gives the Ferrari FF a boot capacity of between {{convert|450|L|cufoot}} to {{convert|800|L|cufoot}}.
