    Ferrari FF: First official video.

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkYzxSW5hn4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkYzxSW5hn4[/ame]

    We know the FF as an ugly four wheel drive flappy paddle station wagon. After seeing this, how do you feel of the Ferrari FF?

    After seeing several more angles of the car, I must say it looks better than the factory photos would suggest. I can't comment on its dynamics though, but seeing it run through snow is disheartening at best.

    I still don't like the look of the front, but I do like everything else looks wise. It sounds very nice, as expected. Seeing it go through snow like that was interesting.

    If it was rear wheel drive, manual and not a Ferrari, then yes.

    Also can't see the point of the snow part.

    I'm with cmc, but hey.. I've been saying good things about this from the beginning. What's disheartening about the snow? Before you say anything about SUVs, let me cut you off - the AWD system in this is not applicable to an off-roader.

    The silly grinning front is a downside though.

    I don't see the point of putting a Ferrari through a snowy hill.

    Surely that must be like buying an off-roader to do the school run.

    Oh wait...

    Sure there is, but if there's a bunch of snow on it and you have 660bhp, some AWD is a good idea. The video on the snowy hill is a little overkill, but it makes the point. Being annoyed at that is just being picky.

    I rather enjoyed the video, and actually began to like the car -- until about 01:47 when I came to my senses.

    I loved it until I saw the part with the roller coster at Ferrari World. I just might love the Ferrari marque more than anyone else on this page, so you can imagine how much that pains me.

    I love the 612 too. I think the ones after 2008 with the bigger wheels and lower suspension look fantastic. Of course the car looked it's best as the 612 Kappa.

    I detest a supercar with a manuel clutch. Almost as much as I detest a hatchback with automatic.

    Probably in the same way as being annoyed because Jaguar fitted a silly rear spoiler to the XKR-S...

    I agree, you’re not going to buy the FF because you live in a snowy area and you need 4WD. If that was the case you would buy a proper 4WD which will be much better on snow than the FF anyway. This is no excuse for the 4WD, I am not saying I hate the 4WD but if you did want a 4WD Ferrari you would want it for handling maybe better acceleration. Not because it’s good on the snow. This is Ferrari way of making the 4WD look ok. but it does't work because if you buy one you will never take it out in the snow because you will be to scard of crashing it.
