The World's GREATEST Daily Driver is a FERRARI FF
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 03. 2022
- The Ferrari FF is one of the most underrated Ferraris in my opinion. It's got a massive 6.2L V12 with over 650HP and 500ft-lb of torque! Add in 4 seats, all wheel drive, and a huge hatchback and suddenly you have a very practical daily driver that hauls!

#FerrariFF #V12 #CarReview - Auta a dopravní prostředky
My friend has been using a Lusso V12 as a daily since late 2017, what a wonderful car, it has over 80000km and is still perfect! I imagine the FF is the same!
That's awesome!
What a perfect daily for Meg! - Car seat in the back, baby stuff in the trunk! She would be THE coolest mom EVER!
Lol
Love seeing how happy and fulfilled you are man! Keep living your best life!
Thanks
I own a 458 Italia, and F12 and an FF , and you are right,its literally their greatest Ferrari and my favorite car ever !
Yup
I bought my 2012 FF in 2019 with 28k miles. I now have 53k miles. It replaced my 2007 M5 that I put 167k miles on. Ferrari says it is 661hp. I also had the DCT replaced under the powertrain warranty at 30k miles. No problems since. Perfect for Costco runs and taking the wife and dog on roadtrips
Haha nice
That's the issue with these cars. Had both transmissions replaced on my Lusso in 2020.
Also the 661 power rating is PS, 650 is bhp.
FF is a beautiful design and a truly multi use auto. It will fill a niche for the ultra wealthy.
Indeed
More and more people are waking up to the FF / Lusso V12. All the supercar thrills with family practically built in. Thanks for uploading 👍
Yup
Great video highlighting the talents of the Ferrari FF! I love this car so much, I bought two of them. What a pleasure to drive and look at this vehicle. I can only recommend it!
Very enjoyable and informative video.
I have not had the chance to drive the FF yet, but I have driven the Lusso on several occasions. A very comfortable and sporty car with plenty of power and convenience. The longer nose can be difficult to manage for some drivers used to a mid / rear engine sports car. I have to deal with parking structures and narrow roads on a daily basis. Thank goodness for the axel lifter.
Appreciate your review; always informative.
Thank you
Gorgeous spec. Bianoco Italia and that dark blue interior is beautiful. They used to be low 100's, they've went up a bit but for mileage like this can get a great deal on one of these..
@@johnnyfinance Yea pretty much. 18 months ago I was seeing them for 90k, leave it to a few youtubers to make videos with them, combine that with whats going on with this market and there up almost 50% in most cases. I just came back from Aspen as we saw one out there with skis on top flying around in a snowstorm so totally pimp car LOL.
Yup they've gone up a good $30k in the past year!
WOW! I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ it when you rip it and spin those tires!!! Great review Dan!!!!
Lol thanks Fred
The way you explain everything is so exciting, great review dude and what a car
Thanks a ton!
About time you reviewed one, love these man! Ultimate exotic kid hauler
Heck yeah
Oh Wow!!!
Thanks for that review! I thought, no I knew you would never review one of theses babies!
Much appreciated!!!
You bet
Much joy and happiness...I have loved that car since I first found out about it...I love the history of "shooting brakes." Now I'll stop typing and actually watch the video
Haha I really like hatchbacks. Especially when they have a v12.
The FF is a very long supercar and Ferrari 's winning recipes never change when speed meets precision engineering... Dan thanks for showing us this award winning spec...regards from Malaysia
You bet
Cannot wait for the Meg review of the FF as a Mini replacement.
Well it definitely won't replace the mini
Nice car Dan, I like the exhaust sound also.
The exhaust is great
Hey Dan, another fantastic video. I just bought a Ferrari California, thanks for the inspiration, it’s a 2010 however the mirror switch is not working and I believe it needs replacing (confirmed by Ferrari) Do you sell the part? if not can you recommend a reputable website to pick up the part?.
Second question, is it something that I can take to a mechanic shop or should I just fork out the big bucks and go to Ferrari.
We can get OEM parts but we can't really get them any cheaper than you can
The Ferrari FF is just a fantastic car - design, performance, practicallity, style, sound, quality., reliability. My favourite car!
Reliability? How often do you go on Ferrari chat lol
@@troystcyr3771 Mine is running fine so far ;-)
@@cobra1010 kind of reminds me of my Granturismo, a lot of guys on forums say it’s pretty reliable but I’ve had the complete opposite experience, it’s been a money pit but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I wouldn't take Ferrari chat very seriously most of the time.
@@normalguysupercar I guess Ferrari owners don’t typically work on their cars as much as Maserati owners haha the Maserati life forums are generally pretty solid.
I was driving on 360 and I knew it looked like you in there! 😂 I was headed in the opposite direction but the thing looked great.
Haha yup that was either me or the owner driving it home.
Never thought I would like a Ferrari FF or a Lamborghini Urus and after seeing them in person I want to drive them. Lol.
No review is legit until Meg does a review... 👍 Matt.
Indeed!
I saw this car at the domain today around 9pm by the valet. lovely wrap looks almost like a pearl!
Yup it is a pearl paint with matte PPF
Cool review Dan….you defo get an awful lot of (S) car with an FF!….great stuff.
For sure
About time you have one on your channel. Now all I need you to do for me is make is a manual!!!
Probably not gonna happen for the manual to be honest. Not a big enough market
One of 4 really 3 Ferrari’s I’ve ever wanted.
1. 308 GTS (Magnum PI inspired)
2. Testarossa (because what kid from the 80’s didn’t like or want that and or a countach, but like the countach, I don’t want that one anymore.
3. 599 until I saw this one and was replaced by this/ the GT4
The 308 and this one I still plan on buying one day.
I really like the FF
Review at the perfect time as I am eyeing to buy an FF
Nice
wow that interior is so different from my 2014 F12 in so many ways... it's funny you can see the acceleration and deceleration by looking at the keys on a 45 degree angle at 13:40 & 18:08
but that interior is beautiful
Lol yes
Love my FF!
Heck yeah
Almost exact spec as mine, Bianco italia with Blu Semi Aniline. I don't have the blue carbon (but secretly I very much hate that) but I have passenger display and tvs. Wanted it since the day I saw it 10 years ago, glad I got to make it a reality. It didn't fully replace my 2013 Mini Clubman (with too many mods) but as a hatchback nerd, it's basically the same car but instead of a little french engine it has a V12 :)
Easily best car I've ever owned. Those who know what it is love it, otherwise here in nyc it blends in with the rest of the city.
Nice
Awesome car!! I have a 2014 and it is epic. Looking for a 812 but the asking prices have gone insane the last 12 months. When the market resets... Around town it gets 10ish mpg. Interstate at 80mph it gets 18mpg. 1,000 mile interstate trip, 72 mph average, 17.5mpg.
Does the Launch X431 pro work to read DTC and reset service indicator light on the FF?
Yes it should be able to handle the reset on the FF
@@normalguysupercar thank you
I thought that the FF stood for what you say every time you drive into the gas station. ”Fu*king Fuel!!”
Haha also accurate
The FF/Lusso is the best V12 for the family 👍
Yup
I love my 2014 FF, thinking about selling it as well. It only has 7,000 miles on it though.
They've certainly gone up a lot in the last year
400,000 plus Ferrari with a Jeep Wrangler radio. Lol
Lol
iv seen this exact car in valet parking on Rock Rose many times :)
Yup
I drive my 2012 Ferrari FF go to work everyday . The trunk space can put my tender Saxphone inside. V12 exhaust sounds also amazing.I totally agree it’s a best fast family daily drive car in the world.
Haha nice
What a beeeaaautiful interior spec, omg! The person who did the spec of this car have a great taste!
No kidding!
I love my FF, epic v12, comfortable to drive.
Yup
Another nice daily driver level but still exotic car, that is a good two steps down from this but a great DD car is the Maser GranTurismo. I know you have driven a few of those. I want an MC Sport or Sportline so bad!
I would take this over the masi any day.
@@normalguysupercar well sure! So would I but the Maser is pennies on the dollar and the Maser is also one of the worlds most beautiful cars! But yes, Ferrari > Maserati every day!
Oooh, awwe, blue carbon fiber..💙💙💙 Yes, legit rear seats. The only people who can fit in the backseats of our 2+2 Cali, are between the ages of 4-7 years old. Any full size adult, better have no legs, because it ain't happening..
No kidding. We've put adults in the back of a Cali before but we loaded them sideways. Lol
Now that you have illustrated this car's practical provenance, I wonder what Meg would think of it?
Me too
Because you said people don’t immediately know it’s a Ferrari, I’d have Ferrari put on the side like you see on Porsche 911s.
LOL!
HA! That's clever John.... I like that.
@@freddaniali hey I am not spending the money for a Ferrari and not having everyone know that it’s a Ferrari.
@@dzikijohnny 😂🤣
I would like to see meg review this platform in the future.
Someday
Ha! Loving the Chrysler radio… FCA owning part of Ferrari (but not publicly acknowledging it).😂. A minivan radio 😂
Lol yup
I may buy a GT4 Lusso one day. To me, these are very classy cars. They're in a category by themselves. Greatest daily driver in my mind, at least for now, is a Tesla Plaid even though the novelty of its speed I think will fade fast and it will become somewhat boring to drive, that wouldn't happen with this car.
Yeah the V12 in these cars really adds drama to the experience
With you calling it a big car, what would you compare it to in similarly sized car ? I saw an aventador in person for the first ever and was surprised at the size of it
It's as big as a full size sedan
Sick Ferrari. I’m a buyer 80k wire ready. The front transmission is the weakness and cost like 60k to fix
Yeah you're way off on the value though
speaking of lexus, you should try the lc500. its incredible
Possibly someday
One thing on my bucket list is to ride or drive a V12 or flat 12 car. Heard (from Jay Leno and others on YT) there is nothing like it.
It's pretty impressive. The torque is outstanding.
FF and its replacement are the best kept secret solid V12 engine the sound it makes daily use 4 seats umm need I say more lol
Yup
I love his car! My favorite modern Ferrari!
It's really cool
Not sure if I like the quilted pattern or the Daytona pattern more on Ferrari seats, if I were in the position to buy a used Ferrari I’d be happy with either or
I like the quilted in some instances
Need a MT conversion for that FF
Pre-pandemic the FF was a 110k steal
Yeah they were sub $100k all over. Crazy
I think it is my current fav Ferrari for sure
It's really cool
An orthopod friend of mine bought one with the idea of making it his daily driver. It had so many mechanical problems that he gave up and got rid of it.
It happens
would love to hear Megs review of this car
May not get it soon. We didn't have time to film it
Dan, have you also driven the car that replaced the FF, the GTC4Lusso ? If so, how do they compare ? Some reviewers say the GTC4 is an improvement and some say they ruined the character when went to the GTC4. Edit: posted before watching the whole video.
Haha yup I have driven the Lusso T not the V12 Lusso. I like it. It's a better car but a lot more money right now.
Yup, I called it. Must say this is what I would actually buy.
Indeed
im taking offers but im not sure if its for sale lolol. dan you just had a baby should have showed us a car seat in the back!
Ha
It's the Ferrari Nomad !
Ha
Possibly the best modern Ferrari ever.. and so rare, simply brilliant..
It's a great car
I love the FF! Perfect for getting rid of bodies FAST.
Lol no kidding
It’s an extraordinary car, but I reckon the Lusso V12 is better😉 Btw what’s the gas mileage on the FF? In my region it’s also outdated as it hasn’t got DAB+ radio which is a must for us if you wanna listen to the airwaves since FM is axed
Yeah the Lusso is just an improved FF
I want this or a gtc4lusso. Although I think the 812 Competizion is way more attractive.. I wish it had 4 seats
Yeah these are fantastic
Dude this is the car for you.....suits you,the ultimate family man's whip
Haha
FF owner here with full Kline exhaust. Can confirm, fucking amazing car
And that probably sounds epic
@@normalguysupercar night and day versus stock. I actually briefly owned the car in the video a couple years ago...didn't realize it was the same car until I watched the rest of the video.
I’d love to have the GTC4 Lusso as a daily
Yup
Gorgeous spec....
The blue carbon is so badass
This Ferrari is BEAUTIFUL!!! OMG I'm snailtrailing. 🐌 LOL
Lol
Can the FF be manual swapped or no-go because it's not an automated manual?
It can't because it's a dct
Well, well....! I think we have winner here, good job you two ps more of Adam hair salon subscription on Video Please
Lol
This car will appreciate in value
Very under valued for less than 2400 units
Yeah
Very nice but definitely prefer the Lusso interior and the ride of the Lusso.
Sure the Lusso is certainly a nicer car
Common, you know you want it. Baby seat in back. Family hauler!
I do want it.
Beautiful car.
Thanks
Car manufacturers are getting good at getting heavy cars to go fast to 60. Even my 2018 BMW M550i can get to 60 in 3.8 seconds and it weighs in at 4400 lbs. It does get good mileage on the highway (very high 20's). I'd still rather have the FF though. (insert Italian hand kiss here).
Yup
The white looks like the GTC4 Lusso i was looking at. I think it was called glacier white.
This is not glacier white
@@normalguysupercar I know but it reminds me of it, i heard you say what color it was for your ff
@@luxuriousgreen9714 Ferrari does not have a colour called Glacier White.
Most common whites are Bianco Avus, Bianco Italia, Bianco Fuji and Bianco Cervino.
If it's a Lusso you've seen in a metallic white, chances are that it was Bianco Italia.
@@AB-80X I’m not going to argue this & In my original comment i said I think. Thank you for telling me what ever you typed.
@@luxuriousgreen9714
Wow, I bet you are fun at parties...
Nobody was arguing with you. You were just given a bit of general info in an open forum.
"I'm late picking up the kids! " NO PROBLEM with this car. The kids are screaming in fear or screaming for more.
No kidding!
Next Thursday be prepared to talk about buying a car that’s wrapped.
Well, it's technically a wrap, it's a matte PPF.
I absolutely LOVE my FF
Heck yeah
Just subbed ..
Thank you
You lost me at the two transmissions. Silly me.....I thought one was enough.
Man....thats a lot of car.
You should upgrade to have the front transmission eject when put in race mode. Lol.👍👍👍
Lol
Finally got my Tributo!! Unfortunately I couldn't afford all the extras but it is still a awesome car for a entry level Supercar. Sadly this will be my only Supercar ever because it took me ages to finally afford one and with the gas prices and part prices that will soon be going through the roof I must admit that it will be only used on weekends. A huge thanks to Viglieti motors for their awesome help and updates. Now to go wipe off all the lip marks on the car because this was a life long dream for me. Love how you can fit dead bodies in the back of your friend's car. Is he in organized crime? Just a joke and if he is then let's not talk about it 🤣🤣
Lol congrats!
I would like to know what the differnece is between the FF and the Lusso...wait the Lusso was available with a V8?
Yes the Lusso T is a V8 twin turbo. The Lusso is a V12. The Lusso series is just the evolution of the FF.
There's actually a pretty significant difference when it comes to how the Lusso and FF feels.
The Lusso suspension in the bumpy road mode is a lot more GT like. I'd go as far as to say that the FF is a bit too stiff to be a really good GT, especially at lower speeds. The interior in the Lusso is a big step up in terms of feel and noise comfort. The FF has quite a bit more rattles and squeaks compared to the Lusso, and especially in the back seat, the tyre noise is a bit much. The engine in the Lusso is a bit more like the F12 engine in part because they share intake technology and they have the same type of exhaust headers.
The 4RM system in the Lusso is a lot more refined and it feels a lot less intrusive. And obviously as the last point, the Lusso V12 has the rear wheel steering which is a god-sent in a car that big. The turning radius and agility is far superior to the FF because of that steering.
@@AB-80X thank you for sharing.
When is Meg's review?
Not sure. We didn't have time to film it
@@normalguysupercar lame
Trying to message you on ngsupercars but getting error message about invalid nonce?
Just send an email to sales@ngsupercars.com
Meg gonna review?
Not sure. We didn't have time that day
What's the price of this FF Ferrari?
www.ngsupercars.com/2013-ferrari-ff/
Aren't these a 6.3 V12?
Well it says 6.2.
Biased but the greatest 4 seat daily driver is the Aston Martin Rapide. Two more doors for easy entry and exit and the silhouette is much sleeker and prettier. The front wheel system would be a long term worry for me on the FF.
Those are very pretty cars
Saw both of you at Ferrari of Austin, FF sounded mean
Yeah it's an awesome engine in there
Its also 4 wheel steering
Ya
No it does not have four wheel steering. That was introduced in the Lusso.
....also remember when these 'bottomed out' under $100k. Sigh.....
Yup. Hindsight
Dan, does driving a Ferrari make you miss owning a ferrari?
I still own one. I just haven't gotten to drive it in 2 years. Lol
How much?
Don't know, make an offer
@@normalguysupercar would he consider cash and trade?
@@petertsai1627 he wants a Ferrari Lusso... So he's willing to trade on one of those
@@normalguysupercar what about a 2017 Maserati quattroporte gran lusso with 23300 miles in perfect condition grey with brown and black interior with 100k cash? If he wants he can sell the Maserati to get extra cash. You might even help! Lol.
@@petertsai1627 email him. Maybe he'll take the trade for the dealership and payout to the owner.
Even if its a v12,it drinks the same amount as my M5 E60..
Yeah it's thirsty
PTU go 💥
Ok
@@normalguysupercar favorite car but that PTU failure and the risk of it back blowing into the crank case is just an abysmal design choice by Ferrari, it’s literally all I can ever think about with this car. Gotta have SS Auto tech rebuild it.
@@troystcyr3771 i was eying FFs before the inflation, low mile FFs were between 105k-130k but i did research and saw a PTU failure will cost 30k or slightly cheaper with a rebuild. Sane issues with the Lusso. Also the AWD failure can happen, so many cases of those on the forums. Would never own one out of warranty, best bet is to spend more for F12.
@@paladin3116 yeah they’re a basket case but I still love them
@@troystcyr3771 Same, even with all the mechanical failures that can happen and the awkward styling i love them. Maybe when the car market returns to normal. I looked on the forums and i saw the PTU and DCT transmissions have rebuild kits now that independent shops can do that are half of dealer prices. Never knew about the rebuild kits. The AWD systems can fail on the FF and i havent seen any aftermarket fixes for it
I wouldn't be happy if I bought a real Ferrari (V12, not a lame V8, according to Enzo) and it shared a bunch of components with the cheap 458, and some aspects of it are not as good.
Indeed.
I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work! @@normalguysupercar
60k? The owner of this thing is a freakin hero. Why doe s Meg still drive that pos when this thing is available? Lol
Lol
