Ferrari FF: a name inspired by the car's four generous,
body-hugging seats, and more significantly, the Prancing
Horse-patented four-wheel drive system. Purists will be keen to
know that it is still the rear wheels that actually provide the
power, with torque being transferred only to the front axle when
required, and even then intelligently and predicatively distributed
to all four wheels
The FF was Ferrari's first four-wheel-drive supercar, and first
interpretation of a "shooting brake" body design. The shooting
brake was conceived to take country gentlemen on the hunt with
their firearms and dogs, and although its glory days came before
World War II, the body style has shown signs of a renaissance since
the mid 1960's. The most famous shooting brakes had custom two-door
bodies fitted to the chassis of pedigreed sports cars such as Aston
Martin's DB5, DB6, and DBS variants, which were custom manufactured
by coach builder Harold Radford from 1965 to 1967.
Penned by Pininfarina, the Ferrari FF's sleek profile provides room
to transport four adults, and some fitted luggage, anywhere, and in
any weather or road conditions. The 651-hp 6.3-liter V12 situated
just aft of the front wheels, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic
transmission, and standard 4RM all-wheel drive conspire to make the
FF the world's fastest grocery-getter.
In February 2019, Bruce Canepa was charged with sourcing the finest
example of an FF for friend Chip Ganassi. Canepa procured this
stunning example from its original and only owner via Ferrari
Westlake in Southern California. Delivered new on February 12,
2012, it was ordered in the striking color combination of Grigio
Silverstone over a Cioccolato leather interior. In addition, an
impressive options list totaled $72,112 on top of the base price of
$295,000; highlights of which include the suspension lift system,
sport exhaust, AFS system, yellow brake calipers, Scuderia Ferrari
shields, and numerous interior upgrades (Alcantara interior carpet,
headliner, boot, and leather dash) making for an opulent cocoon for
driver and passengers alike.
Upon arriving at Canepa, the FF was treated to the Canepa
Difference process, ensuring that all mechanical items were
inspected and serviced as needed, and the cosmetics detailed to a
show-level presentation. Clear Guard was added to all surfaces
prone to abrasion while driving, and the FF then delivered to
Ganassi.
After nearly two years of Ganassi's ownership the Ferrari shooting
brake has returned to Canepa, and is ideally suited to those that
like to drive their Prancing Horse year-round, or require an
alternative to a two-seat sibling during the winter months. Sold
complete with extensive service records from both Ferrari Westlake
and Canepa, and a fresh comprehensive Canepa Difference service and
show-level detail, it presents in pristine condition, showing just
7,864 miles since new.
