Ferrari all set to launch the FF in India on October 31

by Paul Joseph October 25, 2011 Featured

As the excitement of the first ever Indian GP is in the air, Ferrari is all set to deliver some goodies as a parting gift after the race. On 31st of October, a day after the race, Ferrari is all set to unveil the unique Ferrari FF in India at their Delhi showroom. The FF is Ferrari’s first ever four wheeled drive shooting brake model. When you look at the Ferrari FF there is an instant connect with the 458 Italia. But it’s not the sort of Ferrari that you see in your dreams because it is essentially a 4 seater hatchback. Oh yes, the FF is Ferrari’s idea of an everyday practical car. Practical it may be, but there is nothing even remotely hum drum of the performance it is capable of. Powered by a 6.2L V12 engine that generates 660 Bhp at 8,000 rpm with a peak torque of 682 Nm at 6,000 rpm, the FF hits 100km/hr in just 3.7 seconds. Keep your foot down and it will reach 335 km/hr easy peasy. But the most fascinating aspect is the 4 wheeled drive which offers tons of grip even when the going gets tough. Tarmac, gravel, snow, sand, you name it and Ferrari FF will get you there without breaking a single drop of sweat. The starting prices are expected to be around 3.5 Cr. But interestingly, Ferrari earlier made a press statement that all FF models are sold out till the summer of 2012. So expect a huge waiting period on the FF in India. Have a look at this video to get up close with the FF. Ferrari FF Motion clip [Source - Gaadi.com ]

Indian Autos Blog visits Ferrari World Abu Dhabi

by Paul Joseph June 5, 2011 Featured

Here is a little exercise that you can do for fun. Just catch any tom, dick or harry on the street and ask him what do you know about Ferrari? And 10 out of 10 times he/she would say “I would like to own one!” The weird part is that 9 out of that 10 times, the person would have never ever even seen an actually Ferrari but he would still want one. Such is the charm of the word ‘FERRARI’. For a layman it conjures up images of a red car sitting on top of the sportscar world with a crown on its head. For a thorough petrolhead, it brings images of a young racing driver who sacrificed his entire life to create the greatest Formula 1 team of all time. FERRARI – a word synonymous to speed, heritage, passion and victory. So you can imaging how chuffed we were when we got the chance to visit (what can only be defined as) Petrolhead Nirvana – Ferrari World Abu Dhabi – A one of its kind theme park dedicated to the glorious heritage of Ferrari.
