On the weekend of the weekend we left the Venetian town and came to the Dolomite mountains in Italy to test the new Ferrari FF. Just a few days ago there had just been snow, and now the sun is coming out. Ferrari has been stuck with the three season models, but the new Ferrari FF we are driving uses a four-wheel drive system.
Ferrari's patented unique 4RM (four-wheel-drive) system maintains a perfect weight ratio (53% of the vehicle weight is distributed on the rear axle), and this four-wheel drive technology is fully integrated with the dynamic electronic control system of the sports car, which is available at all Continuous, intelligent and predictable torque distribution on all four wheels. In the words of the director of power design of the Ferrari: FF can bring unprecedented performance in any terrain and climate.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti uses a traditional V12 engine and a 2+2coupe layout, and the new Ferrari FF is considered to replace the model. The new Ferrari FF is 13 pounds heavier than the original 612 Scaglietti, and its 193.2inch is only 0.2 inches long. The four-seater seat layout has increased the roof by 1.4 inches over the 612, but it is still 1.5 inches shorter than the Porsche Panamera.
On the driver's side, a large number of buttons, such as headlight adjustment buttons, are integrated on the steering wheel, ensuring that the driver's hands do not leave the steering wheel in normal operation. And at the bottom right of the steering wheel, Ferrari can increase its driving model to five, adding the Snow and Wet models to the original Comfort, Sport and Track.
Another button can adjust the magnetic coil shock absorber. When the driving mode is set in the Snow, Wet and Comfort modes, the continuously adjustable suspension system can control the shock absorber within a certain range while in the Sport and Track modes. It will be very hard, but when we are on the bumpy road, the driving mode will automatically ignore the hard suspension mode of Sport and Track. In addition there is a more important button on the steering wheel, the red button in the lower left corner, for the engine a key to start the system.
The F140EB is the Ferrari FF brand new 6.3L V12 engine, which can deliver 651 horsepower and 687 Nm of torque, 119 more horsepower than the 612. The direct injection technology of the engine is one of the reasons for high horsepower. The compression ratio of the engine is 12.3:1. Continuously variable intake system and exhaust timing system also play a role in increasing the torque.
The Ferrari FF moved very lightly and still had enough torque even when climbing into the corner. From one turn to the other, the multi-link rear suspension maintains a firm, easy-to-manage feel from start to finish. The third-generation ceramic brake system can also provide timely response and perfect feeling.
The V12 engine is in full swing, and it is a new 7-speed automatic manual transmission. It is an upgraded version of the Ferrari 458 transmission. However, the lack of a third pedal made us feel some regrets. It is a rare AMT gearbox, but it is fun to drive, the shifts are crisp and fast, and there is no hesitation in shifting gears even at high speeds, and shifting gears. The moments are all within easy reach. The steering ratio of 11.5:1 also provides a great help. A slight rotation of the steering wheel can bring about a sufficient turning tendency, and the steering feedback can be direct and accurate.
The Ferrari FF is named from the abbreviation of four-wheel four seats, and the so-called 4RM four-wheel drive system, but it is not the same as other four-wheel drive systems. If used as a typical rear-wheel drive Ferrari, the gearbox transmits engine power to the rear wheels via an electronic differential. This electronic differential applies a pair of wet clutches. Which tire has more friction will have more power input here.
And it is a 4RM four-wheel drive system, so the 4RM is designed on the front of the vehicle and requires a transfer box to transmit power to the front wheels, but it will increase the weight of the vehicle and will also occupy the front space, thus affecting FF's Final design goals. So instead of FF, a second set of gearboxes was applied in front of the engine. The electronic differential distributes the left and right torques at the rear, and the torque can be transmitted to the front wheels through front-rear engagement. Whether it is the adjustment of the electronic suspension or the output of the four-wheel-drive dual-clutch continuous torque, it needs to be judged by the wheel sensor, and finally transferred to the central computer for reasonable distribution.
There is a lot of snow on the top of the mountain, Ferrari FF's snow tires, 4RM four-wheel drive system and five driving modes will all play a role, and each kind of driving allows a certain degree of skidding, when it starts uphill, it It's easy to move forward. There is no trace of tire idling and the power output can be better distributed. Ferrari's 4RM system does add some new content, so long as the snow is not too deep, it can be driven throughout the year. Not only that, Ferrari also has an optional suspension system that can lift the front and rear suspensions with one button, increasing the ground clearance by 1.6 inches.
The Ferrari official announced that its acceleration time of one hundred kilometers is 3.7s. We will not doubt this. For comparison, the 612 Scaglietti's 100km performance is within 4s. Ferrari's tires come standard with the 245/35ZR20 and 295/35ZR20 summer tires, and they also have 10mm thin winter tires. Ferrari FF's navigation system is the same as Dodge RAM's navigation, it can drink Bluetooth and iPod match.
Among them, the GT version of the hatchback version has the best appearance. The change in the driver's seat is the visibility of the rear passengers, and the rear headroom is very compact. Of course, we can adjust according to what we want, and the rear seats can only be one. The average size of adults.
Although the official price has not yet been released, various tips suggest that the price of this model will be around $300,000. It is entirely based on the positioning of the Ferrari FF. But regardless of pricing, the Ferrari FF had already scheduled all of its first two years out, probably because its four-seat four-wheel drive concept was pure enough.
