Ferrari FF

[StuntmanMike]

I actually came here to tell you about that Harry’s Garage video not only do you know about it, you bought the car.

I wish you well with it, it’s stunning.

[jontysafe]

Gorgeous, tip of the hat to you.

is it just me and my eyes, but do the seats look really dirty to everyone else?

The leather has a patina from new, and the centres are Alcantara which looks different depending on how its pile has been brushed.

Nice grand tourer. Imagine ...

Roof box, whole family, Europe

That’s spot on mate, really really nice. If I ever won the lottery I’d get one. Fair play for using it properly too.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I’ll keep this thread updated with how I find the car. I’ve done 500 miles in it so far, furthest journey was to Brands Hatch and back for BSB (managed to fit a full set of carbon bike fairings in the boot!) The one thing that astounds me is just how quiet and comfortable it is! If anything in sport mode it’s a bit too quiet at low revs so I am going to add a Capirosto valve controller at some point soon. Also the sat nav is a bit st but I can forgive that! The bumpy road setting is mega, in the Chris Harris review he was bang on, sport mode with bumpy road setting on is the way forward! Haven’t driven it in the wet yet but will be interested to see what the wet and snow modes are like

Yeah it’s got a gearbox at both sides of the crank, except the front one doesn’t really apply that much power to the front wheels, also I think it disengages above 5th gear.

The chassis number from the one on Harry's Garage is 184587, you can see it 14:01 in the video.

OP, it does look stunning and I hope you enjoy it to the max. It's a lovely looking car, great colour combination and that engine...

Yep that’s the exact car! Thanks

[George29]

I’ve done approx 1500 miles in the car so far, used it every day. It just gets better and better!

It’s the split personality that it has that amazes me the most. It’s so quiet/comfortable on the motorway, but flick it into sport mode and start using the paddles and it’s an animal. Something this big shouldn’t be that fast! Oh and the noise is incredible. Never was a fan of modern Ferrari’s but this has changed my mind.

I think it looks better all dirty too.



Used it in the icy conditions this morning in snow mode. Worked perfectly. But I think some winter tyres are needed soon.

Lovely car, one of my favourite recent Ferraris. Versatile and a fantastic engine!

I much prefer this and the GTC 4 Lusso to the 812 Superfast.

[TurbosandTwelves]

Glad you're enjoying it, I've ran mine for a year and they're fantastic cars. Country lanes are interesting due to the width but otherwise nothing bad to report.

OP,

It's nice to see a car like this being used every day.

Keep on enjoying it.

Loving this thread. I put some sottozeros on my 599 last winter, cost a packet and took ages to arrive. Recommend Oponeo for them

Yeah the size is a bit of a pain down the roads where I live. That’s why I had an M2 over an M4 beforehand, didn’t actually check the size of the Ferrari until after I bought it though. But I’ll make do!

How did you find them? I’m not sure if it’s just the standard pirellis that are poor (I’ll be replacing with Michelin’s when they’re worn out!) or if it’s due to the temps. I drove a Vanquish with winters on once and I found that the tyres moved around a lot due to them being so soft, so on dry but cold tarmac it felt like I had less grip!

[Leemcd]

Gorgeous car! Being used as it was intended 👍🏻

[g3org3y]

One of my favourite Ferraris. Big respect for using it as a daily.

[Col 666]

That is stunning, perfect daily driver!

[catfood12]

Nice car OP, I've seen this one up a few times over the years. I bought one last year, and have seen you on the V12 thread. They're a great package.

184587 was the Ferrari press car, here at Goodwood 2011....

[hyphen]

Not the most attractive looking Ferrari engine.

Should keep the bonnet shut

[Terminator X]

M2C to FF! Some top man maths there! And a daily too. Love it.

TX.

Like a totally different car to normal (run mine on P Zeros in the summer), but i think i'm gonna move away from Pirelli next year on both the 599 and V12V as have heard some great reviews about Michelins,
