Ferrari very nearly made a crossover.

But what did they make? The shooting brake with weird 4WD you see on the left.

And when they needed a weapons-grade machine they ditched the back seats, elongated the hood a tad more and beefed up the internals.

That’s really just an alternate FF proposal that’s raised a couple inches

I like the FF... it’s starting to come around to me.

I was on the fence before I’d seen one in person. Having now seen a few around town, I like them. A lot.

Shit, where do you live? If you “see a few around town,” I want to guess either London or Dubai... or some rich ass city.

Chicago. By “few” I mean 3, or thereabouts. I don’t see them often, but when I do, it’s glorious.

Still, that’s 3 more than I’ve ever seen!

I’m assuming it’s 3, one silver, one black and one white. Though I’ve not paid enough attention to the plates to know for sure. There’s something (to me) odd about them that just, kind of, works. I suspect that the silver one is actually one that’s for sale at a dealership near me that gets taken out every so often.

I’ve always liked the FF, honestly though, Ferrari should do a sedan. It would be SWEET.

Wow! You haven’t seen a red one? I thought people were too boring and always go red. XD kidding!

So they almost made an FF Allroad ?

Ha, surprisingly, no. Most Ferraris I see are actually not red.

Basically.

The FF is the closest we’ll ever get to a Ferrari rallycross supercar. 650 hp and 4WD, only needs some suspension work, interior stripping and a rollcage.

I think they should make cars to compete with the ariel atom - make street legal “go karts” with modern engineering, but carry the style of the cars they used to race in the 40s and 50s when they first started.

Can you imagine seeing something like this on the roads? It would blow my mind lol

And kammback. Don’t forget kammback.

I’m sure with the new kit car laws, they could do a replica F1 car pretty easily. For track use only, at the very least.

A slushbox can be fun, too! > Wheelerguy 02/03/2016 at 03:51

That rear looks like they took it off of a Prius C and grafted a Ferrari-esque front

That’s true. I’ve seen a couple of 458s in Colorado Springs and they were black and yellow. Otherwise, I’ve only seen a few red ones... I thought I’d just laugh at the stereotype of it.

I mean...

DUH?! Ferrari keeps going about F1 technology right? Here it is! Original-config engines, but everything else is all-new, with modern F1-spec engine materials, 21st century Firestones (developed with Bridgestone), new suspension materials and updated geometries to cope with the immense grip, all-carbon spaceframe, monocoque and bodies-and I mean the same carbon as their more modern F1 cars.

I saw a white FF in traffic a few weeks ago, my first reaction was “hmm, that Mazda 3 has weird taillights.” Epic sleeper in the right color, but is that what a Ferrari should be?

I love the FF, but the crossover they almost made looks like a Cadillac SRX and FF had a child..... Not soo good.

Bring em on! And ferrari should have no problems in getting their cars street legal. It’s not like money is an object for them lol

Yes! No one can possibly say no to more of this!
