Maranello-based Ferrari has officially retired the four-wheel-drive Ferrari FF. Instead, it will be replaced by the GTC4 Lusso.

The new GTC4Lusso is essentially a facelifted FF. It adopts an evolutionary design and a variety of subtle cosmetic tweaks to match the name change. The redesigned front bumper features built-in air intakes and rear vents. There are also double circular taillights. Ferrari also modified the rear diffuser. It claims that all body modifications help improve the supercar’s aerodynamic efficiency.

The GTC4 Lusso’s new infotainment system features a 10.25-inch screen. A compact airbag allows for a smaller steering wheel. The package includes new buttons and a revised Manettino dial, as well as a handy recess between seats that can hold the key.

FF’s naturally-aspirated 6.2 liter V12 engine has been lowered to 651 horsepower (486 kilowatts), 504 poundfeet (683 Newton meters) of torque, and to 680 hp (507 kW), and 515 lbft (697 Nm). This added punch has reduced the sprint time to 0.3 seconds (100 km/h). It has maintained its top speed at a respectable 208 mph (335 km/h).

The GTC4Lusso also has rear-wheel steering with the Slip Side Control setup, which works in conjunction with the electronic differentials and dampers. Ferrari claims that the technology allows Ferrari to achieve “extraordinary torque” even on wet, snowy, or low-grip roads.

The Ferrari GTC4Lusso, which will be unveiled to the public in March in Geneva, will likely be more expensive than the defunct FF due to its upgrades.
