The Ferrari FF when released in 2011, become as un-Ferrari as a Ferrari may be. It had 4 seats, 4-wheel force, and the silhouette of an elongated hatchback. Those who bought into the hype of the FF, complained bitterly of how loud, extreme, and unusable it become, and so, the designers went lower back and designed a softer, more useable grand tourer. That’s the GTC4Lusso.

Exterior

A mild revision of the FF, the GTC4Lusso resembles the terrifi F12 Berlinetta from positive angles, and with its extensive haunches and extensive stance, it’s a good-looking automobile; a superb-looking car lease. Despite the dark colourations concealing its curves and contours, it turns heads no matter its colour.

Interior

Being a grand tourer and intended to seat 4 adults, Ferrari has paid cautious attention to the design and exceptional of the cabin. Inside the GTC4Lusso is gentle, stitched leather-based at the dashboard, door panels, and seats, with real metallic at the pedals and titanium on the round A/C vents.

Much like a Formula1 vehicle and most other Ferraris, there aren’t any stalks across the cabin. All essential features had been filled onto the steering wheel. The signs are managed from the guidance wheel. The headlights, from the guidance wheel. Suspension settings, from the steerage wheel. Bluetooth telephony, from the steering wheel. Drive modes, from the steering wheel. Wipers, from the steering wheel. And even though it should feel like an ergonomic disaster, it simply feels so proper.

But retaining all of that apart, the certainly awesome factor approximately the GTC4Lusso is the space it offers in the again. Far from utilitarian, there are ample quantities of headroom and legroom, there’s rear A/C vents and USB charging ports in the principal arm relaxation too. In fact, now not simplest does this sensible Ferrari offer lots of passenger room, but shipment room too, with boot area measuring in at 450-litres, which is sufficient to squeeze in a suitcase or two.

Features

Technology, in terms of entertainment and convenience functions, have in no way been at the top of Ferrari’s priority listing. Up till now this is, for within the GTC4Lusso there’s a big 10.3-inch infotainment display screen with crisp photos, Apple Car Play, and plenty more to prove it keeps up with the times.

To maintain front-seat passengers entertained, there’s an eight.Eight-inch contact screen that acts as an extension of the device cluster show and permits them to view pace, revs, and gear information, whilst also giving them get admission to to the satnav and multimedia device.

The most thrilling feature, but, is in the back of the car where on a plaque hidden in the boot Ferrari writes down the options geared up on every car. This small element works as a subtle reminder to owners that they aren’t just using any Ferrari however THEIR Ferrari, they way they selected to spec it out.

Drive

Despite being a grand tourer and being softer than its predecessor (the FF), the GTC4Lusso is a Ferrari in each manner possible. An absolute rocket, it hides a 6. Three-liter evidently aspirated V12 engine under its elongated hood, which pushes a whopping 680 horsepower and 697 Nm of torque to all four corners. What the one's numbers translate to are a 0-100 km/h time of just 3. Four-seconds, a pinnacle speed of 335 km/h, and a melodious exhaust notice at any all speeds.

Keeping numbers aside, but, the GTC4Lusso is an revel in, an enjoy this is heightened with the aid of a quick-shifting 7-pace twin grab transmission and Rear Wheel Steering. Turning the rear wheels within the equal path because the front wheels at low speeds and in the opposite direction at excessive speeds, it gives better balance and significantly reduces understeer when taking fast bends.

The Manettino transfer (that's Italian for little lever) makes subtle changes to the suspension, traction, electronic differential, and transmission, depending on which mode is chosen: Sport, Comfort, Wet, or Snow. What’s surprising is simply how speedy it changes personalities, the GTC4Lusso can go from loud and obnoxious to quiet and secure within the easy flick of a transfer and that’s what a grand tourer must do.

Verdict

The GTC4Lusso is no ordinary grand tourer, it's miles the Ferrari of grand tourers and at a starting price of AED 1,225,000, it’s high-priced but it’s additionally the embodiment of car perfection. A short notice to all other grand tourers then, the benchmark has been raised…
