Prior to 2011, if you asked most enthusiasts if Ferrari should build a shooting brake grand tourer, they would have welcomed the idea, ludicrous, though it was. And then, out of nowhere, Ferrari presented the FF shooting brake as the successor to the 612 Scaglietti. And threw in a brand new AWD system to boot. Our suspicion? All of the Enzo owners were tired of wheeling their Range Rovers to the slopes and needed a ski rig from Maranello.

The powertrain solution to the new largest Ferrari is quite interesting. First, the old F133 V12 from the 612 Scaglietti is replaced by the F 140 EB V12, a variant of the Enzo's 65 degree V12. Displacement and peak torque are up over the Enzo, which the FF matches on power. As for the AWD system, Ferrari left the front engine, rear transaxle layout intact. To that, they added a small power take-off to the front of the engine, providing two speeds of power to the front axles. The design consolidated the development to a single mechanism and allowed Ferrari to adapt much of their existing hardware, all while saving weight over a more typical AWD system.

We dig this color combo, and appreciate the lack of Daytona seats. Look, the Daytona seats add a welcomed texture to the otherwise unadorned interior, but for the long drives we'd expect to take in an FF, the standard seats would be our choice. And speaking of long drives, we're inclined to believe that transporting 4 individuals, driver included, in this machine is a real possibility. 651hp. 4 real seats. A useable rear hatch. Yes, please.

We wish that Ferrari had offered a traditional manual with its gated shifter, but as far as automated manuals go, the 7-speed dual clutch unit offered is acceptable. The customer base for these certainly prefers the automating shifting, now that the jerky shifts of early F1 boxes are a thing of the past. We also wish that the styling team had done more to reduce the visual heft of the FF, as they did on the successor, the Ferrari GTC4Lusso. All in all though, the FF is still our top pick for an all-weather grand tourer.
