Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt (Ferrari FF)
Members of the media finally got their first glimpse of the unusually-styled Ferrari Four concept, or "FF". Revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, the FF uses a mammoth 651-horsepower (485-kW, 660-PS) 6.3-liter V12 engine, capable of delivering up to 504 ft-lb (683 Nm) of torque.
Love it or hate it, the car is arguably Ferrari's most practical car. It features as much cargo space as a Mazda2 sedan, with 450 liters (15.9 cubic feet), a number that nearly doubles when the rear seats are folded down.
Being that it is a Ferrari, the car still has to offer exhilarating performance. On its way to a 335 km/h (208 mph) top speed, it races from the line to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, according to the automaker. A seven-speed double-clutch transmission and new Ruote Motrici four-wheel drive pretty much guarantee that every time behind the wheel will be a great time.
And your wallet won't get murdered at the gas pump, either. The FF concept reportedly travels 100 km on 15.4 liters of fuel, or 15.3 mpg US. However, the high 360 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer will boost added taxes in a number of countries.
What do you think of the car? Let us know in the comments below.

Ferrari is entering into a new segment , this car is AWD with an exclusive mechanism and maybe for the first time have 4 seats for four adults and a real trunk space
Ferrari claims that in this car can seat people of 6,39 ft (195 cm) high in front seats and 6,06 ft (185 cm) high in rear seats...
pretty a revolution for Maranello

A rich man's hot hatch, lol!
Seriously though, Ferrari had a share of 4 seaters back in the 70\80's, i'm glad they're bringing something back just to kill the panamera

With a title mending FF, I was thinking Front engine Front wheel drive
Immediately though, I'm thinking CAFE is the reason for this car.
Though I find it strange that at 18mpg the RX-8 is still decryed as having terrible mileage, but the Ferrari Four at 15mpg "doesn't murder your wallet at the pump"

this is something NEW into 4WD systems:
a 2nd gearbox, taking the torque from the front part of the engine (obiouvsely there is a RWD tranny on the rear) with 3 speeds and reverse controlled by electromagnetic clutches.
work in 4WD mode only under a certain speed, higher becomes a normal RWD car.
