The throttle response is immediate, as though the car anticipates your next move. At full chat, the V12 screams through the rev range with a crescendo worthy of La Scala, yet it transitions into a composed, comfortable cruiser when called upon.The magic lies in the 4RM all-wheel drive system. Under normal conditions, power is sent almost exclusively to the rear wheels, maintaining that classic Ferrari RWD balance. But should rain, snow, or gravel arise? The system subtly engages the front wheels with surgical precision, providing traction without ever diluting the driving purity.It's astounding in corners, staying flat and composed thanks to its adaptive suspension. With carbon-ceramic brakesand a perfect seating position, you're not just drivingyou're wearing the car like a tailored suit.EVERYDAY USABILITY: The Gentleman's FerrariUnlike the mid-engine monsters in Ferrari's stable, the FF was built with long-distance comfort and real-world usability in mind. You get ample interior space, real adult-sized rear seats, and a ride that's supple without sacrificing sharpness.You could take it to the opera, the ski chalet, the grocery storeor all three in one day. Ferrari even tested this car on snow with special winter tires, and yes, it performed beautifully. It's the only Ferrari you could drive in a blizzard without fear, yet still unleash on a racetrack with total authority.COMFORT & LUXURY: Italian Craft with Modern EleganceThe cabin is trimmed in supple leather, with an interior design that feels bespoke, not mass-produced. The sound system is crisp, the infotainment system usable (by 2012 standards), and ride comfort is better than most GT rivals. Dual-zone climate, custom stitching, optional Alcantarait's more Aston Martin inside than raw racer, but in a way that enhances the Ferrari ethos rather than dulls it.THE COMPETITION - AND WHY THE FF WINSAston Martin RapideLooks el
