Ferrari FF: The Family-Friendly Speedster You Never Knew You Needed

When you think of family cars, what comes to mind?

A minivan splattered with juice stains, a station wagon that somehow moonlights as a mobile snack bar, or a good old reliable SUV? Well, hold onto your juice boxes because Ferrari has thrown that mundane reality out the window with the introduction of the Ferrari FF, the “Ferrari Four.” Forget cramped backseats and dodgy entertainment systems; this bad boy is the ultimate way to chauffeur the kiddos around—if you can keep them from spilling their Happy Meals in the back, of course!

Debuting at the prestigious Geneva International Motor Show in 2011, the FF transformed our idea of a family car with its sleek shooting brake design, proving that practicality doesn’t have to come at the expense of style—or speed, for that matter! With a heart-pounding 6.3-liter V12 engine producing a staggering 660 horsepower, this grand tourer can leave the competition eating its dust and still have plenty of room for the kids’ soccer gear.

Imagine cruising through town at a jaw-dropping top speed of 208 mph (or 335 km/h for our metric friends) while your kids lounge comfortably in the back, probably arguing about which one of them gets to use the last of the in-car candy stash. With a mere 3.7 seconds to go from zero to 62 mph, you could realistically consider this ride as the perfect pick-up solution for a last-minute playdate or a surprise trip to the ice cream shop.

Critics have showered the FF with praise, dubbing it a “Ferrari for the whole family.” It’s as if Enzo Ferrari woke up one day and thought, “You know what the world needs? A sports car that doesn’t require a Maserati-sized ego to drive!” It’s earned accolades, including Top Gear’s Estate Car of the Year. Yes, you read that right: an award for being the best estate car. In theory, calling it an estate car is a bit of a stretch, given that most estates don’t come with an engine that sounds like a lion’s roar. But in the world of Ferraris, they must have meant it affectionately!

So, if you find yourself yearning for a vehicle that melds thrilling performance with family comfort, look no further than the Ferrari FF. The idea of a luxury sports car can be as rare as a unicorn in a school parking lot, but here is your four-seater steed ready to gallop into the sunset at breakneck speed—while keeping your kids in check (at least until they hit their teenage years).

As your family grows, you might find that the FF is the perfect solution for those better days when the ordinary simply won’t do. Because who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too… as long as your cake comes with a side of roaring horsepower? Buckle up, because this Ferrari brings new meaning to “family-friendly.”
