The GTC4Lusso’s name references illustrious predecessors, such as the 330 GTC or its 2+2 sister model, the 330 GT - one of Enzo Ferrari’s favourites - and the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso.
The number 4 alludes to the car’s four seats.
Penned by Ferrari Design, 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.
The GTC4Lusso’s 6.3-litre V12 engine punches out a massive 680hp at 8,000rpm.
Maximum torque is 697Nm at 5,750rpm with 80% already available at just 1,750rpm for superb responsiveness even at low revs.
The GTC4Lusso has the Ferrari-patented 4RM Evo four-wheel drive system which is integrated with rear-wheel steering for the first time.
The result is the newly-patented 4RM-S (four-wheel drive and steering) system which, based on yet another exclusive Prancing Horse patent, the latest evolution of the Slip Side Control (4.0) system, now incorporates the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the SCM-E dampers.
The result is tremendous stability and a sensation of masterful control and security that translates into superior performance.
The GTC4Lusso also has new aerodynamic solutions, not least a new front grille with integrated air intakes to improve the efficiency of the radiating masses, the air vents on the wing that recall those of the 330 GTC, a roof-mounted rear spoiler and a new triple-fence diffuser.
The combined effect of these features is a Cd value that is substantially lower than on the FF.
Its Dual Cockpit architecture is another first, with the passenger having an optional display with a plethora of functions.
The GTC4Lusso also debuts the new Infotainment platform featuring a 10.25-inch HD touchscreen.
