Ferrari presenterar GTC4Lusso

Uppföljaren till FF är här

Vi trodde att det var den 15 februari vi först skulle få se uppföljaren till Ferraris modell FF men istället blev det i dag, vilket man såklart inte kan klaga på. Namnet FF slopar man dock, det här är GTC4Lusso. Fortfarande gäller plats för fyra plus bagage, fyrhjulsdrift och en mustig V12:a i nosen. Är det här världens mest optimala bil?V12:an på 6,2 liter är samma som sitter i FF men istället för 660 hästar har den nu 690. Vridet har ökat från 683 till 697 Nm. En sjustegad dubbelkopplingslåda driver bakhjulen och när även framhjulen behöver kraft är det det nyutvecklade fyrhjulsdriftssystemet 4RM-S som tar hand om detta. Förutom elektronisk differentialbroms och elektroniska stötdämpare bjuder även systemet för första gången på bakhjulsstyrning. Enligt Ferrari ska detta göra bilen ännu enklare att framföra på snötäckta och isiga vägar. På med skidbox på taket och dra till fjälls med andra ord! Sprinten 0-100 km/h ska gå på 3,4 sekunder (0,3 sekunder snabbare än FF), toppfarten är dock samma som tidigare - 335 km/h. Torrvikten anges till 1 790 kilo. På insidan hittar vi ett nytt infotainmentsystem som utvecklats av Delphi men som fortfarande ändå ska vara kompatibelt med Apple CarPlay. Skärmen man styr allting på är nu något större med sina 10,25 tum. Ratten har minskat lite i storlek och fått mer ergonomiska knappar. Var man ska lägga nyckeln när man är ute och kör har Ferrari också tänkt på - och gjort ett eget litet fack till den i mittarmstödet. Nytt är också att den extra lilla displayen för passageraren som visar fart och motorinformation nu även visar G-krafter.Debuten sker på bilmässan i Genève som drar igång den 1 mars. Vad bilen kommer att kosta och när de första leveranserna äger rum är oklart för tillfället. Vad som dock är väldigt klart är att undertecknad vill ha en, helst nu.

Pressmeddelande

The Ferrari GTC4Lusso debuts at the Geneva Show: class-leading performance, versatility in all driving conditions, sublime elegance. A unique car, a whole new world. Ferrari announces the addition to its range of the Ferrari GTC4Lusso, the new four-seater which hails a major evolution of the sporting Grand Tourer concept by integrating rear-wheel steering with four-wheel drive for the first time. This is a car designed for clients wanting to experience the pleasure of driving a Ferrari anywhere, anytime, be it on short spins or long journeys, snowy mountain roads or city streets, alone or in the company of three lucky passengers. Drivers who demand exceptional power but refuse to compromise on in-car comfort, sporty elegance and impeccable detailing. In short, the GTC4Lusso brings unprecedented versatility to Ferrari driving, like the FF before it which won the Prancing Horse a new, younger client base that, significantly, also makes greater use of its cars, clocking up 30% higher mileage than average. The GTC4Lusso’s name references illustrious predecessors, such as the 330 GTC or its 2+2 sister model, the 330 GT - one of Enzo Ferrari’s favourites - and the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, which represented a sublime combination of elegance and high performance. The number 4 alludes to the car’s four comfortable seats. Engine The GTC4Lusso’s 12-cylinder engine delivers smooth, consistent power, punching out a massive 690 cv at 8,000 rpm. Both its 2.6 kg/cv weight-to-power ratio and its 13.5:1 compression ratio set new records for the category. Maximum torque is 697 Nm at 5,750 rpm with 80% already available at just 1,750 rpm for superb responsiveness even at low revs. The soundtrack brilliantly reflects the car’s multifaceted personality: it is rich and powerful in performance driving and discreet yet harmonious in the city. Dynamics The Ferrari GTC4Lusso is an exceptionally versatile car in every kind of grip condition thanks to the Ferrari-patented 4RM Evo four-wheel drive system which is integrated with rear-wheel steering for the first time. The result is the newly-patented 4RM-S (four-wheel drive and steering) system which, based on yet another exclusive Prancing Horse patent, the latest evolution of the Slip Side Control (4.0) system, now incorporates the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the SCM-E dampers. All these sophisticated vehicle dynamics controls are seamlessly integrated by Ferrari’s proprietary software and enable the driver to effortlessly handle the GTC4Lusso’s extraordinary torque even on snow-covered, wet or low grip roads. The result is tremendous stability and a sensation of masterful control and security that translates into superior performance. The new-generation SCM-E damper control also contributes to improving performance on rough surfaces and, of course, to superior ride comfort. The GTC4Lusso’s high levels of performance are also due in part to new aerodynamic solutions, not least a new front grille with integrated air intakes to improve the efficiency of the radiating masses, the air vents on the wing that recall those of the 330 GTC, a roof-mounted rear spoiler and a new triple-fence diffuser. The combined effect of these features is a Cd value that is substantially lower than on the FF. Style Penned by Ferrari Design, the GTC4Lusso is a further refinement of the shooting brake coupé, reinterpreting the concept with an extremely streamlined, tapered shape that gives it an almost fastback-like silhouette. Its sporty soul is underscored by the forms and styling of the rear where the curve of the roof has been lowered whilst retaining enough volume to guarantee exceptional space and comfort for all four occupants, as well as an ample luggage compartment. Ferrari’s signature twin rear lights adorn the tail. These not only emphasise the car’s muscular shoulders and broaden it horizontally, but work visually with the tail pipes to lend a sense of imposing power to the rear. Dynamically chiselled crease lines create a diapason theme along the car’s flanks, breaking up the optical mass, accentuating the muscular wheelarch and imparting a sculpted athleticism. Interior Meticulous attention to design and carefully executed detailing has produced a cabin that is a flawless triumph of sporty luxury. Its Dual Cockpit architecture is another first, designed to enhance the shared driving experience for both driver and passenger, with the latter having their own generous optional display with a plethora of functions. That innovative architecture aside, the cabin’s most striking feature is the beautiful craftsmanship of the materials which have been painstakingly selected and combined to enrich the atmosphere on board. Generous wraparound seats guarantee all four occupants exceptional comfort and room, creating the same ambience as a luxurious living space. The GTC4Lusso also debuts the new Infotainment platform featuring a 10.25” HD screen with capacitive touch technology. The new steering wheel is more compact thanks to a smaller air bag and the integrated controls are more ergonomic than ever, making for an even sportier driving experience. The official world premiere of the GTC4Lusso will be at the Geneva International Motor Show in March, but exclusive images can be seen from today on www.ferrari.com.
