GTC4Lusso (2016–)

Like the FF it replaces, the GTC4Lusso is a 3-door shooting-brake with all-wheel drivetrain, and is powered by a front-mid mounted 6.3-litre V12.

The GTC4Lusso's 6,262 cc (382.1 cu in) Ferrari F140 65° V12 engine rated 690 PS (507 kW; 681 hp) at 8000 rpm and 697 N·m (514 lb·ft) at 5750rpm, also thanks to a compression ratio raised to 13.5:1. Ferrari claims a top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph), unchanged from the FF, and a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 3.4 seconds.

The car uses an improved version (dubbed 4RM Evo) of Ferrari's patented four-wheel drive system introduced on the FF, integrated with four-wheel steering into 4RM-S.

It was unveiled in the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

GTC4Lusso T (2017–)

The GTC4Lusso T is a rear wheel drive only version of GTC4Lusso with 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and with rear-wheel drive, but retains the 4WS four-wheel steering system.

The GTC4Lusso T contains a 3,855 cc (235.2 cu in) Ferrari F154 twin turbocharged V8 engine rated 610 PS (449 kW; 602 hp) at 7,500 rpm and 760 N·m (561 lb·ft) at 3,000–5,250 rpm. According to the manufacturer the car can reach a top speed of over 320 km/h (199 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.

The vehicle was unveiled in the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

Design

The GTC4Lusso has a similar body style like the Ferrari FF. The rear features Ferrari's signature Quad Circular Rear Lights (last seen on the Ferrari F430) & its interior contains a Dual Cockpit Concept Design, separating the Driver Cockpit & Passenger Cockpit by a central divider. The front of the vehicle is presented with a single grille that not only provides all the necessary cooling for the car but gives it a sense of imposing power.

The GTC4Lusso is a further refinement of the shooting-brake coupe, reinterpreting the concept with an extremely streamlined, tapered shape that gives it an almost fastback-like silhouette.

Reports

The 2016–2017 models of GTC4Lusso were reported to be sold with faulty Takata airbags.
