After months of speculation, Ferrari has officially unveiled the new Four concept ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Essentially a preview of the 612 Scaglietti replacement, the FF features a bold Pininfarina design that mixes elements from the 458 Italia, California, and 599 GTB Fiorano. Most notably, the car is a shooting brake which affords 450 liters (15.9 cubic feet) of cargo capacity with the rear seats up and 800 liters (28.3 cubic feet) with the rear seats down.

Underpinned by an all-new chassis, the Four has an independent suspension with magnetically adjustable dampers and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes. More importantly, the car is equipped, for the first time ever in a Ferrari, with an advanced Ruote Motrici (4RM) four-wheel drive system that is heavily rear-biased and "delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and in all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels."

Under the hood, power is provided by a 6.3-liter (6,262 cc) V12 engine with 660 PS (485 kW / 651 hp) and 683 Nm (504 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a double-clutch transmission which enables the 1790 kg (3946 lb) concept to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed 335 km/h (208 mph). Furthermore, the FF has a combined fuel consumption of 15.4 L/100 km (15.3 mpg US) and CO2 emissions of 360 g/km.

After getting used to the Panamera (and eventually liking it), I LOVE THIS. It reminds me of the Z3M clownshoe but more importantly... look at that ass.

Thought the same with that side view but I love it!! I almost like anything Ferrari does but this is really good.

Panamera killer!!! Bye bye Porsche.

I can't wait to hear more specs on the four wheel drive system, if Ferrari developed it we'll see others imitating it soon.

its only 2 door vs 4 door

In the first pic, it looks like an old M Coupe and an 8C had a drunken fling one night, the 8C was too drunk to remember, and had to go on Maury to figure out who the daddy was. I really hate those headlights though, I hate them on the 458 too. The back, oddly enough, looks sick! At least it does in that last pic. I give it props for the exhaust note though, that sounds epic.

That and you would be able to buy just about any 2 door Porsche to go along with the Pan Turbo for the price this rascal will come in at. Strange comparison indeed.

Like it but would look just about any where else in a Ferrari store before this.

[330CIZHP]

I agree, it has design cues from the old Z3 M coupe.

Awesome car nonetheless. Looks like a new 6.3 V12 and I am so happy Ferrari is staying with the pure N/A, high-revving engines. None of that turbo or supercharged steroids short cut cr*p!

[Hula-Hula]

I really dig this! It looks unique!

[Red Bread]

Oh my dear god, it's like my Clown Shoe with two motors and 132k fewer miles! Anyone want a kidney?

[graider]

wow, if they stretch this a bit more into a 4 doors version. i seriously think this will make the panamera real ugly. this rear is similar in shape, but much hotter than the panamera rear.

[Garduna]

What is a panamera? xD
My god the FF looks fantastic!!!

[Mprofiler]

The rear looks nice, but the side view and the front grill is terrible. Wish it was a 4 door design instead of a 2 door hatch.

[GregTheStig]

Sorry, I don't like it that much. The shooting brake design is alright, but does Ferrari really need to make an AWD Z3M? I want cars like the 458 or the 599 GTO.

Or a car like THIS:

[FStop7]

Because what the world needs is a $400,000 hatchback.

[KingOfJericho]

rear reminds me of the Elise:

[BMW269]

4WD Ferrari, and no more legendery GT line up. BMW M is dying, who could ever guess Ferrari would die?

[Boost Gomez]

This thing is awesome!

Agreed, the car is Fugly and since when does Ferrari need to compete with Porsche? As much as I like the 458 this abomination couldn't be any further from it.

It's better than a Panamera for sure in terms of design. Although that isnt entirely fair because the Ferrari wouldnt look as sleek with 4 doors but I still think it would overall be better than the Panamera. Looking at specs, both are clearly high performance AWD 4 seaters but the edge goes to the Ferrari which is much more powerful and has a screamer of an engine (8000rpm). It also breaks the 200mph barrier. Any word on price?

I'm not entirely happy with the way Ferrari and Porsche have went with these hatchback designs. While I love the cars inside and out I just cant get over the hatch designs because I know the cars could look so much better. Take the Rapide for example, whilst it is predictable it does have a beautiful shape.

[hks786]

You know something else, this car could have made a really good replacement for the 612. When Ferrari release better pics I'll make a chop of a proper coupe. I really like the features even the rear design looks great. It's just that hatch rear that doesnt suit a Ferrari.
