Meet the Ferrari GTC4Lusso. It"s at once an updated version of the FF, and a stake to the heart of grammar fans the world over.It continues Ferrari"s somewhat sporadic naming structure, then, recalling classic Ferraris with its GTC" and Lusso" elements and conjoining them with a 4", alluding to the amount of seats inside.Like the F12tdf that"s gone before it, we"ll likely forgive a clunky name for what lies beneath, though. The GTC4Lusso is a compilation of all of Ferrari"s current technological boasts; it takes the FF"s four-wheel drive and combines it with rear-wheel steering like you"ll find on that hardcore F12, while there"s a new evolution of the Side Slip Control that makes the 488 GTB so enthralling.So while the four-wheel drive and four-seat layout make this the GT car of Ferrari"s range, it also sounds like it"ll be a good laugh to drive.Its naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 is evidence: it produces 680bhp, up nearly 30bhp on the FF, and while much of its 514lb ft of torque is available below 2,000rpm, you"ll need to be nudging 6,000 revs to unearth the whole lot. Good.Do so and you"ll find a 208mph top speed, via a 3.4 second 0-62mph time. While the former is unchanged on an FF, the latter is nearly half a second down.
