Ferrari FF: The closest thing to an SUV from Maranello - CNET (blog)
Despite its passenger and cargo space and all-wheel-drive system, the FF still drives like a Ferrari. There is no sound I have enjoyed more than the scream of the FF's 6. 3-liter V-12 engine, amplified by the optional sport exhaust, rebounding off the mountainsides of twisty valley roads. Technically, the body style of the FF is referred to as a "shooting brake," a term with a history involving English hunters and horse carts. Looking like no other Ferrari, the roofline maintains its height as it extends back from the windshield, ending in a hatch. The headlight casings and their stacked LED running lights combined with the low, wide grille make the front look like a smiling face with the skin around the eyes drawn back by sheer speed. The example delivered to CNET had a newish feature, a glass roof allowing scenic relief to rear seat passengers. That curved glass roof added a bit of space-age style to a body that, to me, has a definite 1960s modernist class. As Ferrari no longer does manual transmissions, the FF comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual. Unique among Ferrari models is the all-wheel-drive, a lightweight electronically controlled system that can send up to 20 percent of torque to the front wheels. Source: www.cnet.com
