I was just about to ask if Ferrari had made AWD cars before, as obviously they're best known for their RWD ones.

The Gallardo Balboni edition is RWD as well, and that's pretty Lambo...

Very un-Audi though.

The same people would buy the Maserati GT if they could not get the Ferrari one ... doesn't matter which "brand" sells the cars, they are all owned by the same lot

So? Does that mean Volkswagen should only make the Touraeg while Seat make the Ibiza? Skoda should make the Octavia? Porsche make the rear wheel drive sports cars and Audi the AWD ones? Lamborghini will have to move over to motorbikes, or perhaps 3 wheelers, I guess.

Ferrari has dabbled with four-wheel drive cars before, such as the 408 Integrale

That even had four-wheel steering!

Wow! Did that inspire the Honda NSX by any chance?!

Or if they couldn't get a ferrari GT, they may buy an Aston, or a Jag or something else, and the Ferrari would become an expensive drain on resources and potentially retired.

Some like their GTs though..... Ferrari saw the need to make a new one.

Like it or Love it these will no doubt sell.

I know they sell, but it is the same as Porsche making a Cayenne ... they are both brands that I associate with sports cars, not SUVs and GTs

Then what is the problem lol

Theyre a business... Its their business to sell cars!

Side Profile = Z3MC
Front = 458 Italia
Rear = Evora

I saw this in an e-mail from AutoExpress, and thought it was one of their dodgy photoshops based on the above...

But as has been said, Ferrari have been making GTs for years and years and years... Surely it's your association that is wrong here?

What about Lamborghini Tractors and the LM002?!

All that money on the v12 yet it's still not faster than a v6 Nissan GT-R which is very similar in weight and is also 4WD?

FERRARI FF
4WD
6.2 litre v12
651BHP / 504lb ft
0-62 = 3.7s
Top speed = 209MPH
Weight = 1790KG

2011 GT-R
4WD
3.8 litre v6
520BHP / 451lb ft
0-62 = 3.0s (3.5 on paper)
Top Speed = 200MPH~
Weight = 1750KG

And it's butt ugly :S Whatever happened to the beautiful prancing horses of the olden days

Yes it is. Does over 200mph compared to the GTR which is under 200mph isnt it?

Top speed means little, acceleration and handling is what matters

He said it is not faster. I am saying it is. Top speed is a measurement used to compare fastest cars. The top speed of the ferrari is higher than the GTR.

You understand that right?

:/ Aye my wording was a bit of a goof but I meant in terms of all round speed, it's faster to 60, the FF doesn't have a confirmed 0-124MPH figure yet going by those links but I wouldn't be surprised if the GT-R beats it there too and the GT-R has max power/torque available from 3500RPM onwards but the FF according to PH is at 6000RPM.

Of course I'm happy to be wrong...someone post the videos of a side by side when it's available
