The 81st Geneva International Motor Show will play host to
the unveiling of two major new Prancing Horse innovations: the revolutionary FF, a
four-wheel drive four-seater with a mid-front V12 that is the most powerful and
versatile car Ferrari has ever built, and the 458 Italia sporting the HELE (High Emotions
Low Emissions) System which cuts CO2 to just 275 g/km.
This new emissions figure represents a reduction of 15 per cent and is another
remarkable achievement for the 458 Italia which has already received over 20 awards
from the world’s most prestigious car magazines. The 458 Italia now boasts the lowest
emissions of any sports car in its class on the market.

The FF also makes its eagerly-waited debut at Geneva after the huge build-up of
expectation and interest created by the client premiere at Maranello broadcast online
by www.ferrari.com.
The revolutionary FF offers a completely new take on the sporting Grand Tourer theme.
It is not only the first Ferrari with four-wheel drive, but, more significantly, a model that
hails a major break with the past, effortlessly melding extreme sports car performance
with the versatility and usability of a genuine GT and boasting an extremely innovative
design.



Every single area of the FF brims with innovation, not least its engine, the first GDI V12
to be coupled with the seven-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox. The V12 unleashes a
massive 660 CV at 8,000 rpm, and maximum torque of 683 Nm at 6,000 rpm with 500
Nm already available at just 1,000 rpm. This ensures the performance figures of an
extreme sports car, with the 0-100 km/h sprint covered in 3.7 seconds and a top speed
of 335 km/h. Efficiency has been significantly boosted too, with fuel consumption now
standing at just 15.4 litres per 100 km, and CO2 emissions at 360 g/km, a 25 per cent
reduction compared to the previous V12s, thanks in part to the HELE (High Emotions-
Low Emissions) System which incorporates Stop&Start technology.

Uniquely, the FF also guarantees this exceptional performance on terrain with very low
grip coefficients, thanks to Ferrari’s own patented 4RM four-wheel drive system.
Torque is still delivered by the rear wheels, but the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) ensures
that as much as is required is also transferred to the front wheels when necessary on
low grip surfaces. The FF intelligently distributes torque to each of the four wheels
individually, thanks to the fact that all of the dynamic vehicle controls (E-Diff, F1-Trac
and PTU) have been integrated into a single CPU.
Exceptional sporty driving is guaranteed by the FF’s transaxle architecture (mid-front
engine with gearbox over the rear axle) and the positioning of 53% of weight to the rear
of the car. Meticulous attention has been taken in lightening the engine (new castings),
bodyshell (new aluminium alloys and production processes) and a host of other
components. The interior has also been optimised through the use of high-tech
materials such as magnesium for the seats. Third generation Brembo carbon-ceramic
brakes are now lighter and longer-lasting, with virtually negligible wear during normal
use on the road. All of these innovations have combined to produce an absolutely
exceptional weight-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, a new benchmark for this kind of car.
Styled by Pininfarina, the FF’s lines effortlessly reflect its signature uncompromising
balance of sportiness and versatility. It can comfortably accommodate four in its bodyhugging
seats and spacious cabin. Its 450 litre boot can also be extended to 800 litres
as the rear seats fold down independently. This means that the FF offers more luggage
space not only than any other car in its category, but also many four-door saloons,
too.

Everything aboard the FF is tailored specifically to the needs and tastes of its driver with
a choice of six exclusive colours and the finest Frau aniline leathers specially treated to
enhance their natural softness. The FF’s exceptional specification enhances in-car
enjoyment for all four occupants. Features include a new rear-seat infotainment system
with two screens for watching TV and DVD and a 1,280 Watt, 16-channel stereo
system with Dolby Surround Sound.
The three FFs on the stand are joined by a 458 Italia, the 599 GTB Fiorano with the
sporting HGTE package, and a Ferrari California in an elegant Blu Tour De France
finish. The Ferrari California is enjoying incredible sales success and is also the model
subject to the widest range of personalisation requests in Ferrari’s line-up. The V8-
engined convertible is, in fact, very popular in the special two-tone and three-layer
paint option finishes, with additional original interior combinations of materials,
colours and trim solutions. The extraordinary success of the Ferrari California testifies
to its enduring and sophisticated appeal
