That shooting brake interpretation of the 612 looks like a far more cohesive design/shape. Lovely. And the Lambo 4 seater (sorry can't remember the name) really works too. The FF is just a bit challenging as a shape-like a lot of recent Ferraris.

Going to look mighty imposing on the road though. Black with yellow calipers please.

Finally could that 4wd be something we'll be seeing on the Enzo replacement?

All sport cars going SUV ?
And electric too I suppose.

What fun.

Oh yes, you can also have huuuuge slippers like the Panamera, Rapide, Citroen-whatever... enormous impossible to park and ugly monsters!

But the running costs the parts , repairs, service, insurance, tyres, tax, and fuel consumption will always remain pro-rata to a customer who could afford a quarter of a million pound motor car in the first place. Unless of course you buy it after about 10 years just to keep it under a blanket.....and many people do.

Looks like a Z3M Coupe from the side. How can Ferrari produce cars like the stunning 458 Italia, then produce this dogs dinner. Bobbins.

Heavens! I didn't realise the Alfa looked so very much better than the Ferrari!
The side window is divine on the Alfa, and rather uncertain on the new breadvan.
erm, the actual Alfa Brera looks st, and mostly because they *didn't* do the side windows / doors anything like that Giugiaro concept Brera above.

I know the side windows on the Brera concept look better than the Ferrari FF, but looking at it practically the rear passengers can't see out from the Alfa but can from the Ferrari. I know which my kids would rather sit in the back and see out from.

I wish Alfa had made the Brera a bit more like the concept frown Basically in those ways.. the doors/glass/windows, and the rear hatch. I'd be all over one if they had.

Do you think they are trying to capture a piece of the market from that Porsche pannawhatever you call it?

Totally different prices? Panamera is £100k tops isn't it, this will be over twice that. Probably.

I quite like it, the idea of a 4 seat ferrari appeals, but the 612 was ugly. 4WD makes sense too, it's probably quicker on track and in the real world.

That front end has a bit of a satanic look about it. Not pretty, but then I dont think any recent Ferrari has looked good but its definately interesting and yes I agree that it looks very like the first M coupe.

Anyone manage to grab the exterior shots of the car above? Looked quite nice in Grigio Silverstone grey, can't find the pics now though! They've only left the red Fezza FF on there;

Has anyone mentioned that this looks very much like the BMW M Coupe in profile?









Jokes! smile

I like it, a lot. Much more cohesive design than the 458 which I find fussy and lacking in elegance.

When was the last time Ferrari did a 4WD car?

Wow, that Citroen could almost have been the blueprint for the Ferrari front end. Maybe if the FF is launched, Citroen will think again about making that, it's a stunner (and I haven't said that about a modern car for years and years).
