The Ferrari FF is the most exclusive GT on the market, the very pinnacle of achievement in the “extreme GT” segment and it is considered the most powerful four-seater in the world. The FF has it all: exceptional, superior performance in its class that pushes its signature Ferrari thoroughbred DNA and driving pleasure, regardless of weather or terrain. Even on snow, ice and dirt. The Ferrari FF is the first four-wheel drive V12 with a rear-mounted electronic differential, the E-Diff, setting a new benchmark in terms of pure innovation.
Driving the FF is like having the world’s most intuitive driving coach with you, only powered by a V12 engine. The car knows in advance what the driver needs. Despites its size and power, the FF is really a very tractable car; not to mention incredibly supple in the way it deals with the sort of rough road conditions that would have limited an Enzo to low speed with the raised ride height in operation. The Ferrari FF is extremely comfortable even in the back seats.
There is a new multi-link rear suspension to thank for that, as well as a new wishbone design in the front suspension architecture and clever adaptive damping. The FF, like all modern Ferraris, is thoroughly useable, but still powered by one of the most astonishing engines you will ever come across. The engine is a new, 6.3 liters in capacity, it pumps out a faintly startling 660 hp and revs to a stunning 8,200 rpm. There are no turbocharges or other agents of forced induction hereabouts, and the result is a car that pulls like the proverbial freight train. The FF is a Ferrari definitive Gran Turismo, so it accelerates to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and thunder on to 320 km/h with no pause for thought. Where conditions permits it will also settle into a phenomenally relaxed motorway cruise. It should also be noted that the Ferrari FF’s V12 uses direct injection to improve its emissions and reduce fuel consumption.
The new Ferrari offers passengers their own information read-out, in a sliver of screen just above the glove box, which they can alternate between power distribution, rev counter, speed and gear ratio read-out.
For those who wish to carry four adults to the ski chalet or sample a truly world-class powertrain and some of the most dazzling chassis technology ever to appear in a motor car, the FF is arguably the most complete Ferrari ever made.
The Ferrari FF represents a technological revolution for Ferrari and the car industry. Contact Ferrari Silicon Valley for any inquiries or information about the FF or Ferrari California.
The Ferrari 458 Italia Spider made its debut online in August and will be officially released at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany.
In line with Maranello spider tradition, the new Ferrari has been calibrated to guarantee superior sportiness and absolute driving pleasure either with the top up or down. The engine soundtrack has been also improved to ensure that occupants are completely captivated by the top down driving experience. The 458 Spider accelerator pedal mapping and damping on its multilink suspension, for instance, have been calibrated to pursue maximum sportiness and driving pleasure.
The 458 Spider boasts excellent fuel efficiency with low CO2 emissions, 275 g/km. A result made possible thanks to a series of revolutionary engineering solutions incorporated into the HELE (High Emotions, Low Emissions) system, such as:
- Stop & Start, which reduces consumption by 10% on the urban cycle
- Pulse Width Modulation controlled brushless fan and low-pressure fuel pump, which reduce consumption by approximately 6%
- Electronic variable displacement A/C compressor
The 458 Italia Spider’s performance are guaranteed by Ferrari’s class-leading dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift transmission, the refined E-Diff combined with the F1-Trac traction control and high-performance ABS for maximum handling dynamics.
Entirely in aluminum, the 458 Italia Spider hard-top implies several advantages over the traditional folding soft-top, such as a 25kg weight reduction and a deployment time of just 14 seconds. Fully integrated into the styling of the car, the hard-top fits ahead of the engine bay without compromising aerodynamics or the performance of the car. The reduced space needed to house the roof enables the car to offer an exceptional internal storage space: the new 458 Italia spider features in fact a rear bench that can hold a bespoke set of luggage or a golf carry bag.

The Ferrari California and its predecessor Ferrari f430 have a unique design approach and technology innovations to achieve indisputable performance and driving experience. Inquiry about the Ferrari California and Certified Pre-Owned at Ferrari Silicon Valley.
The 599 GTO significantly benefited from Ferrari engineers’ experience in Formula One as well as from 599XX in order to optimize down force without impacting on drag. The Ferrari 599 GTO generates down force of 144 kg at 200 km/h thanks mainly to solutions transferred from the track version to the road exemplar.
In developing the 599 GTO the focus was on all the areas that have the best direct impact on aerodynamic and performance: the front, sides, rear, underbody and cooling flows. In the specific, the cooling ducts for the discs and pads have been optimized whether the wheel doughnuts reduce the energy loss caused by the rims turbulence. The front bumper has been widened to improve the fairing-in of the wheels and it is now equipped with a new wider sill design to improve the rear wheels fairing. The sill also features a more pronounced leading edge that improves the efficiency of the underbody central section.
Enhancements on the car nose are aimed to reduce drag and narrow the width of the wake generated by the front. The Ferrari 599 GTO is also equipped with a splitter, an aerodynamic surface between the front wheels, which diverts the air flow to the back of the car. At its rear, the splitter geometry guarantees an equilibrated flow contributing to maximize the efficiency of its pressure and to lower drag.
The underbody incorporates a new lower front section to optimize down force with 599XX derived diffusers. The 599 GTO has also a new double curve rear diffuser coming from the Formula One innovation and technology. Behind the wheel, the Ferrari 599 GTO gives an effect of a very short wheelbase, almost as if it was cut just behind the driver’s seat.
The 599 GTO cabin reflects its sporty character and secures functionality thanks to the significant weight saving made to boost its driving performance. Despite of its light technical material components, the 599 GTO interior is everything than bare. The floors are in aluminum and numerous carbon fiber features compliment the cabin. The standard version of the vehicle comes with cordura and 3D technical fabric trim with matching Alcantara®. Alcantara® and leather trim is also available on request.
The ergonomics of the F1 gearbox console have been completely redesigned to ensure driver to easily reach the car controls. The entire interior is trimmed in matte carbon fiber and technical fabric.
