The 2012 Ferrari FF "Fastback" = A Perfect "Prancing Stallion" For Mom x Dad!

"200 mph Ferrari FF four seater to debut at Geneva Motor Show

I keep looking at the photos of this new Ferrari and am thinking: "this can't be real?" A Ferrari with seating for more than 2 and also four wheel drive?

It is real though and there is a V12 under the hood my fellow petrol heads so don't think for one minute this Prancing Horse can't tear up the tarmac.

Called the Ferrari FF it is the first Ferrari with four wheel drive and a V12. More specifically the V12 is good for 651 horsepower (no that is not a typo) and 504 lb ft of torque. When rang out to the top speed all occupants of this Ferrari can experience speeds over 200 mph at 208. The zero to sixty is healthy too with the speed ringing in at 3.7 seconds according to Ferrari.

With other brands like Porsche offering a four seat super car, and Lamborghini on the way with one as well, it was a no brainer for Ferrari to step into this car category. Now I am just wondering when the Ferrari SUV will be confirmed? If you did not know there is already a Maserati SUV in the works!

As much as it is a departure from traditional Ferrari , there is no doubt this car is a performer. I want to drive from Milan to Naples , Italy. One can always dream though...

The Ferrari will amaze the public first at the Geneva Motor Show coming up soon."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Long the toast of young men and women whom actually DID plan their parenthood roles, the decidedly chaste hatchback has finally received a sleek and sexy makeover courtesy of the masters of luxury sports car innovation @ Ferrari.

The 2012 Ferrari FF (NOTE: Ferrari Four) "fastback" (NOTE: Yes, the hyperbole DOES have to match the lofty ambitions of this bold new automobile as well ... lol) is a V12 all wheel drive monster that does NOT quite look the part. I mean, when was the last time that Y.O.U. saw a soccer mom of means straddling a 651 horsepower pumping engine 4-seater and topping out @ 208 mph on her way to pick up Becky from practice? Huh? Exactly. Good shit!

Keychain Vain.

"You make a statement with the Bentley you own, and sometimes it just feels as if you own the road as well. Such is the impact of anything that spells big money and how would it feel to carry your Bentley every where with you just to show off? Now you can flaunt your status even without driving into the hallway in your Bentley, just flash your Bentley car key!

A diamond-studded Bentley continental car key from Alexander Amosu is just what you need to drive others crazy. The key is handset with 101 diamonds on the Bentley famous wings with a total of 1.09 carats. A perfect gift this Christmas for anyone with a Bentley in their driveway. And if their auto line-up includes a Lamborghini, Mercedes or a Ferrari then Amosu has created their luxury keys as well."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In no way am I suggesting that Y.O.U. put the cart before the horse or, in this case, the keychain before the actual keys and the accompanying horsepower ... lol. This opulent accessory should simply serve as more motivation to get that Bentley, Mercedes (don't play yourself C-Class ... lol), Ferarri or Lamborghini. This keychain designed by young Nigerian self-made millionaire Alexander Amosu makes a bold statement without venturing into "Tacky-Land". Good shit.

As If Simply Owning A Lamborghini Wasn't Already Cool Enough.

Now niggas got personal parking lots that come out of the ground! What more can I say?

I Place My Bid On The Lamborghini Estoque 4-Door Hybrid, Kid!

"Lamborghini's 'New World' May Be a Hybrid
By Chuck Squatriglia October 01, 2008 | 5:48:09 PM Categories: Exotics, Hybrids, Paris Auto Show


After taunting us for weeks with teaser pics of the four-seater it's bringing to the Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini has pulled the wraps of the Estoque and suggested it could be -- get this -- a hybrid.

That's right, a hybrid. The company that last spring said it couldn't possibly meet Europe's tightening emissions rules may jump on the gas-electric bandwagon with a car it's been saying "is not just a new Lamborghini. It's a whole new world." Sant'Agata insists the car is just a concept at this point -- though everything it says suggests the car will be built -- but makes it clear it takes the company in a new direction.

"It is a concept that provides a clear indication of the future," the company says. "This applies to the new, elegant self-confidence of the lines themselves, but even more to the concept of the vehicle."

Lamborghini calls the Estoque an "everyday sports car," albeit one that will probably carry a $200,000 price tag, that combines the performance of the Gallardo with the convenience and comfort of a sedan. "With our existing cars, there is day-to-day usability, but they are not used every day," company president Stephan Winkelmann told AutoWeek. "Most of them are used for less than 5,000 kilometers a year. This car is something different. It's for every day use."

The Estoque -- the name refers to the sword matadors use to kill bulls -- is the first four-door to roll out of Sant'Agata since the company built the abominable Portofino for the Frankfurt auto show in 1987. Whereas the Porotfino looked like a Chrysler with scissor doors, the Estoque looks like a Murcielago or Reventon with four doors. It's all sharp angles and long lines, coming in at almost 17 feet long. Those 23-inch wheels are nearly 10 feet apart. Unlike the Gallardo and Murcielago, the all-wheel-drive Estoque carries its engine just behind the front axle. Lamborghini claims the car's weight distribution approaches 50-50, providing "unparalleled agility and handling precision."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: This is just a prototype, but it definitely looks like a very plausible and functional model ... basically, this shit looks ready to go. Dammit man! I see this car giving the Aston Martin "Rapide" a particularly hard time once they both hit the market. The waiting list starts NOW - make your appropriate calls.
