For the money there are a LOT more sensible, or even endless, options out there as regards 4 seater option. Really I agree with OP. Who wants a 4 seat Ferrari?
If you are going to drop the cash on a Ferrari you really don;t want 4 seats, IMO.

If you want 4 Seats go the whole hog and get a 4 door super car. Audi S8, M5. CTS-V, Range Rover V8. Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide ETC ETC. NOT the
Porsche though!!! :oops: :lol:

That been say..... four wheel drive 651bhp V12 sounds good :drool: :D

Any way just the rambling thoughts of a dreamer!

Back to the real world...

Do you really think many people will take a Caddy over a Ferrari????? Sure the CTS-V handles well, and has plenty of power, but really :poke:

Probably not but I guess it would depend on who is paying :oops: CTSV around $65K the FF 700K++++ TBA. But the price does not reflex the difference IMO and in the current world that counts. Which one would you go for given 3 options? A 2 seater Ferrari(any one), the FF or one of what I mentioned ?

Thankfully you did not play down the the all mighty, Ferrari eater, M5 :poke: . :lol: :lol:

Of that choice I would take the 2 seat Ferrari - because I have no need for back seats and would be buying a fun summer car - a sports car would make more sense for me, but I can see why others would choose the Ferrari.

I almost bought a 911 last year, for the same reason (sure it technically has 4 seats, but.........)

Looks wise I think its ok to good and the first 4 wheeled drive Farriari, I Think.

I am just looking at it from the point of way below ever owning/affording one EVER. But if I could I Really don't think I'd have one. like you and your Porsche, I bet you did not go into the show room and ask for a fun summer sports car, can I see the Porsche Panamera please!. I think you know what I mean. It means nothing to make a big deal that its a 4 seater. No one Is going to book one on the premise of that. Make more of the fact its 600+ Hp and the first 4wheel and is NOT a funny Z3 :lol:

I"m gonna guess that's someone's gonna buy one just because they can and nobody else will have it. Kinda a douche-y reason, but hey. I'm more curious how they didn't come up with a better name than "FF", that's just lazy.

I still like the Panamera, but like you said, if I wanted a bad-ass 4 door, I'm gonna have to go with the A8, that thing is just sick.

Two seats or four doesn't come into it for me. I just reckon the FF is ugly as sin.

I do like it...however I think the design could be more original and not compare so much to the BMW M-Coupe.

Everyones itching of this design these days for some strange reason....the porshe and now this? :roll: Come on people!

I hate the Panemera, but I actually don't mind this FF. Obviously it's not like the typical mid-engined beasts that Ferrari are mostly famous for these days, but I certainly don't hate it.


Of course you like it, especially compared to your new "tractor", right? :nana:

I have nothing to say except - :guns: :guns: :guns: :guns: :guns: :guns:

:wink:


Come now D8, no driving impressions of the tractor? How about some pics? :) :wink:
