This animated video explains how the Ferrari FF engine and all-wheel drive technology works. On seeing this, we wonder if we didn’t get a little distracted by the radical shooting brake design and miss the point slightly. The Ferrari FF has a new 4RM all-wheel drive system that only works part-time. Amongst the video explanation is the key to the system - torque is individually distributed to each of the four wheels.

That means that this should be the best handling Ferrari for certain road conditions that previously the supercar manufacturer couldn’t hope to meet. The four-seater, four-door FF with its shooting brake rear (and corresponding boot space), might bring Ferrari into a new segment in terms of its family-friendliness. But as we’ve said before, and Ferrari itself has revealed, given the innovative drivetrain, this could finally bring the world famous Italian supercar brand to new markets where weather conditions previously prohibited the purchase of a Ferrari.
