CAR Magazine drives the new Ferrari FF.... and crashes

[zo6dude]

Probably for the best, the car is ugly in my opinion. But theres no denying that it sounds incredible. Any who heres the video.

Yes, for this alone I am renewing my subscription!

Maybe that was their intention? Maybe this whole thing was staged... hmm:p

[t.]

Dunno, he sounded pretty terrified lol.

[Eudemon]

Oh man imagine if it was in response to the games they play with journalists.

[Ryzza5]

Any pics of the damage? He did look terrified, eh? :p

 

 

I like how they make the crash seem like a good thing by saying "We crash the Ferrari FF' at the start.

There will inevitably be mixed reactions toward this, as the Ferrari Four is a "love it or hate it" car (I love it, personally). At any rate, I hope the reviewer doesn't suffer too much from this. I hate seeing stuff that's caused by driver error - it just makes me feel bad. :(

Watching the start of the video I thought it was quite alright (although didn't get a good profile shot of the car) ;)

 

Damage looks minimal - who cares :p

[Eudemon]

Looks a BMW M Coupe to be honest. See it coming from the front and it's a 612, from the rear or side it's a BMW. Also has very striking resemblance from the rear quarter of an RX-8.

[Ryzza5]

So they've based the car on 3 other cars which don't look very nice? :lol:

[gingervette]

It looks awful.

[eXile]

I personally love that car, the look and especially the sound :/ I guess its just up to people's opinions eh ?

[iLLGT3]

It looks awful.

 

You looks awful. :taz:

[Ryzza5]

He has a point there :nuts:

[Camel]

Damage didn't look too bad, but I bet it still cost a few grand to sort out.

If its only the wheel then yeah maybe 1k will sort it out, but I think there was more done to it than that.

They are press cars anyway, Ferrari are prepared for the fact that some may take a knock and I believe the magazines and or Ferrari have insurance for just such an occurrence. Embarrassing for him but not that bad tbh.

How to lose an awesome job.

[Sponge]

TBH, I don't think it was his fault really. From what I can see, he hit a pothole.

 

Proves how "cheap?" the rims are made though, silly little pothole totalling a £1k+ rim? :hmmm:

[zo6dude]

I hope this thing doesn't grow on me.. but listen to that sound! Possibly the best sounding Ferrari in years!

 

 

[GhostPL]

In how many years? 2? It sounds great but come on, the Scuderia for example sounds way better.

[Eudemon]

Sounds ok, nothing special if I'm honest. Has a hint of the rawness of a 360 CS though. :)

[Sponge]

Yeah, it does sound very raw.

 

But to be honest, I think the FF is more of a "grand tourer" rather than an expensive sports car. I don't think it should be Scuderia loud/sounding.

[Ryzza5]

It sounds more like those noises are 'generated' rather than being the actual consequence of how it's driven (you'd think that guy was scared to crash it or something) :p

 

It looks ok as well, until you see it from the side and puke. ;)
