CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

LOCATED IN THE COUNTRYSIDE OF MARANELLO, ITALY,

THE FERRARI HEADQUARTERS

IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART INDUSTRIAL CITY.

THE SETTING, SCALE, AND FACILITIES

ARE AS COMPELLING FOR VISITORS

AS THEY ARE FOR THE MORE THAN 3,000 EMPLOYEES

WHO WORK AT THIS PLANT DAILY.

THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE COMPANY'S STAFF IS TOP PRIORITY.

THE AUTOMAKER'S EMPLOYEES COME FIRST

AND THE AMAZING CARS THEY BUILD A CLOSE SECOND.

SINCE 1947, FERRARI HAS BEEN WORLD FAMOUS FOR SPORTS CARS

AND FOR BEING THE MOST WINNING TEAM IN FORMULA 1 RACING HISTORY

WITH MORE THAN 5,000 VICTORIES.

THE ICONIC FERRARI LOGO WAS FIRST ADOPTED

BY THE ITALIAN WAR PILOT FRANCESCO BARACCA,

WHO HAD THE PRANCING HORSE PAINTED ON HIS AIRCRAFT.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN GIVEN AS A PRESENT

FROM HIS FAMILY TO ENZO FERRARI.

THE CLASSIC RED PAINT COLOR WAS SIMPLY THE COLOR

ASSIGNED BY THE I.A.F. TO ITALIAN GRAND PRIX CARS

IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE LAST CENTURY.

IN THE LAST 20 YEARS,

FERRARI STARTED LAUNCHING MORE NEW MODELS

WHILE RETAINING ITS CORE VALUES.

FERRARI IS NOW PRODUCING

THEIR FIRST EVER FOUR-SEAT, ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE HATCHBACK --

THE FF.

THE FF HAS LARGER CABIN AND LUGGAGE SPACE,

NOT TO MENTION A PATENTED FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEM,

WHICH WEIGHS 50% LESS THAN A TRADITIONAL VERSION.

THE FIRST MAJOR COMPONENT OF THIS CAR

IS THE 12-CYLINDER ENGINE BLOCK.

MADE OF LIGHT-WEIGHT ALUMINUM,

IT IS THE CORE OF THE 660-HORSEPOWER ENGINE.

IN THE IN-HOUSE FOUNDRY OF THE FACTORY,

A WORKER USES A HIGH-PRESSURE BLOWER TO REMOVE ANY REMAINS

FROM CASTS USED TO CREATE THE ESSENTIAL MOLDS

OF THE ALUMINUM ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCKS.

USING HIGH-QUALITY CHEMICALS AND SAND,

THE COMBINATION IS PRESSED IN A GRAVITY-POWERED MOLD,

WHICH PRODUCES THE CASTS OF THE INTERNAL INTAKE

AND EXHAUST PIPES OF THE CYLINDER BLOCK HEAD.

THIS TECHNOLOGY GUARANTEES THE BEST MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE

OF THE INDIVIDUAL PIECES

AND IS ALSO USED IN DEVELOPING ENGINES OF PROTOTYPES

FOR FORMULA 1 RACE CARS.

THE WORKER MOVES THE SAND MOLDS TO ANOTHER AREA

TO REMOVE ANY UNNECESSARY PIECES.

USING A SMALL SAW, FILE, AND A SANDING SPONGE,

THE PIECES ARE REMOVED TO CONFORM TO THE CAST'S DESIGN,

NECESSARY TO CREATE THE INTERNAL PIPES OF THE BLOCK HEAD.

THE SAND MOLDS WILL ALSO UNDERGO A REGENERATION PROCESS,

WHERE THE SAND WILL BE REUSED TO CREATE FUTURE MOLDS.

THE FINISHED SAND MOLDS ARRIVE AT ANOTHER WORK STATION

WHERE THEY ARE ASSEMBLED.

A WORKER PLACES THE BOTTOM COMPONENTS TOGETHER

BEFORE USING A LIFTING DEVICE

TO DELIVER THE LARGER AND HEAVIER TOP SECTION,

COMPLETING THE CYLINDER-BLOCK MATRIX.

ONCE THE GROUPING OF MOLDS IS ALIGNED,

A SET OF TRANSPORT SPIKES FROM A LIFTING DEVICE

USHER THE GROUPING TO ANOTHER WORK STATION,

WHERE THE MOLDS ARE CURED IN A HIGH-TEMPERATURE KILN

CALLED A WEIGHTING OVEN.

THE MOLTEN METAL WILL FLOW

INTO ALL VACANT SPACES LEFT FREE BY THE SAND MOLD.

THOUSANDS OF ALUMINUM INGOTS CAN BE FOUND IN A STORAGE BAY

AT THE MARANELLO FACTORY.

THESE BLOCKS ARE MELTED AT NEARLY 1,500 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT

IN ORDER TO BECOME THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCKS.

AS MOLTEN ALUMINUM,

THE SMELTED METAL IS POURED THROUGH A FUNNEL

AND INJECTED INTO SAND CASTS,

SOON TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST INTEGRAL PARTS OF THE ENGINE.

THE WEIGHTING OVEN'S 1,400- DEGREE TEMPERATURE IS CONSISTENT

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY DEFECTS OR AIR BUBBLES WITHIN THE BLOCK.

ONCE THE MOLTEN ALUMINUM HARDENS,

THE AUTOMATED CLAMPS FROM THE KILN RELEASE THE MOLD,

ALLOWING THE NEW ALUMINUM PARTS TO COOL

BEFORE REMOVAL FROM THE MOLDS.

AN AUTOMATED LIFT REMOVES THE FINISHED CASTS

AND CYLINDER BLOCK FROM THE HEATED STATION.

A WORKER EXTRACTS THE ALUMINUM PIECES FROM THE SAND MOLD,

WHICH IS DISCARDED.

QUALITY CONTROL IS IMPERATIVE TO THE ASSEMBLY OF THE ENGINE.

AT THE FIRST WORK STATION,

A WORKER PLACES THE CYLINDER BLOCK ON A TABLE,

INSPECTING THE PART WITH A SMALL FLASHLIGHT

FOR ANY CRACKS OR IMPERFECTIONS WITHIN THE CAVITIES.

VERY LITTLE VARIATION IN THE MOLD IS TOLERATED.

FROM BEGINNING TO END,

UP TO 8,000 INSTRUMENTS ARE USED TO CONTROL DIMENSIONS

THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THE CYLINDER BLOCK.

THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK UNDERGOES A SECONDARY LOOK

IN A RADIATION-SHIELDED CABINET

OF A RADIOSCOPIC INSPECTION SYSTEM.

THIS FURTHER DETECTS ANY POSSIBLE FLAWS

IN THE CYLINDER BLOCK'S CONSTRUCTION.

AFTER GETTING THE GREEN LIGHT FROM THE X-RAY INSPECTION,

A WORKER MOUNTS THE CYLINDER BLOCK ONTO A FIXTURE,

WHERE IT TRAVELS INTO A SMALL CABINET FOR REFINEMENT.

THIS CNC DEVICE REMOVES

ANY ADDITIONAL AND UNWANTED MATERIALS

WITHIN THE BLOCK'S CENTER

USING HIGH-PRESSURE WATER AND SAND GRAINS.

AS A RESULT OF THIS REFINING PROCESS,

THE CYLINDER BLOCK LOOKS SLEEKER THAN BEFORE.

THE WORKER REMOVES THE HOLDING BOLTS,

AND THE PART IS READY FOR THE NEXT WORK STATION.

AT ANOTHER WORK TABLE IN THE METROLOGY ROOM,

A WORKER USES A COMPUTERIZED MEASURING TOOL

KNOWN AS A TOUCH PROBE TO VERIFY

THE FERRARI FF CYLINDER BLOCK'S TOLERANCE AND INTEGRITY.

LATER IN THE SHOW, WE'LL SEE MUCH MORE OF THIS ENGINE.

Narrator: THE MOST POPULAR FERRARIS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN

THE TWO-SEATER GRAN TURISMOS.

ONLY 7,000 CARS ARE PRODUCED YEARLY.

THE FF IS VERY UNIQUE TO THE LINEUP,

BUT IT STILL MAINTAINS THAT FASHIONABLE TRADITION.

WITH EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO FERRARI'S FACTORY,

WE UNCOVER THE FORMULA BEHIND ITS RACING-INSPIRED FAMILY CAR.

SHUTTLING TO A WORK STATION,

THE CHASSIS LOWERS INTO A SECTION

WHERE A WORKER LOADS PILLAR PARTS INTO WELD BRACES.

THESE FIXTURES WILL ASSIST IN THE INSTALLATION

OF THE SIDE PANELS AND THE ROOFING.

WORKERS PLACE AND TIGHTLY FASTEN

EVERY PILLAR AND SKELETAL BRANCH OF THE BASE FRAME

WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF WELDING CLAMPS.

ONCE LOCKED IN THE CLAMPS,

WORKERS HAND-WELD THE FRAME PARTS TOGETHER.

UNLIKE OTHER SPORTS CAR MANUFACTURERS,

THIS COMPANY DOES NOT USE WELD ROBOTS

TO PUT THEIR CHASSIS TOGETHER.

THE AUTOMAKER BOASTS HAVING SOME OF THE BEST WELDERS

IN THE WORLD.

IN THE NEXT STEP,

A WORKER INSTALLS SKIN PARTS OF THE BASE FRAME

TO THE SIDE- AND ROOF-SUPPORT PILLARS.

THE WORKER LOWERS A LARGE SUPPORT FIXTURE

WITH SUPPORT CLAMPS TO HOLD THE BODY PARTS IN POSITION.

THIS IS SO HE CAN WELD THE PIECES TO THE SUPPORT BEAMS

WITH EASE AND PRECISION.

ONCE AGAIN, THE WELDING IS DONE BY HAND,

FURTHER DISPLAYING THE COMPANY'S ALLEGIANCE TO FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP

AND ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL.

WHEN WELDING IS COMPLETE AND COOLED,

THE REMAINING RESIDUE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED

TO CREATE A FINISHED APPEARANCE.

A WORKER GRINDS THE EXCESS METAL WITH A HEAVY-DUTY GRINDER.

USING A FLEXIBLE FILER HOLDER AND MILL-CUT FILE,

WHICH CUTS AWAY UNWANTED RESIDUE ON THE BARE METAL,

THE WORKER SHAPES AND SMOOTHES THE BODY'S SURFACE.

IN THIS PART OF THE PROCESS,

HE PREPARES THE WELDED AREAS FOR MACHINE-SANDING

AND FEATHER-EDGING FOR A SMOOTH AND GLOSSY FINISH.

USING A HIGH-POWERED SANDER, THE WORKER POLISHES THE WELDED AREA,

CREATING A PERFECTLY SMOOTH FINISH,

MAKING ANY WELDING UNNOTICEABLE.

WITH MOST BODY PARTS ON BOARD, WORKERS INSPECT THE SHELL

IN A ROOM WITH SPECIALLY ENHANCED LIGHTING,

WHICH HELPS IDENTIFY ANY ERRORS.

A WORKER MARKS THE AREAS THAT REQUIRE MORE FINESSING

BEFORE ENTERING THE PLANT'S PAINT SHOP.

THE PAINT SHOP IS ONE LARGE SECTION

WITH THREE STAGGERED ROOMS FOR DIFFERENT OPERATIONS.

THE PAINTING PROCESS TAKES ROUGHLY TWO AND A HALF DAYS.

THE CAR ENTERS A ROOM FOR ELECTROCOATING,

THE PRIMARY CORROSION-PROTECTION LAYER.

IN A TUNNEL, THE CAR'S BODY IS IMMERSED IN 11 LIQUID TANKS

WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION.

AFTER THE ELECTROCOATING PROCESS,

WORKERS APPLY A CLEANING AGENT TO THE BODY TO CLEAN, DEGREASE,

AND REMOVE ANY RESIDUE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VEHICLE,

PREPARING IT FOR THE NEXT PAINTING STAGE.

ANY DIRT OR IMPURITIES CAN BE AN ENEMY IN THE PAINTING PROCESS.

IN THIS PHASE,

WEARING PROTECTIVE GARMENTS, WORKERS MIST A TOP COAT

THROUGHOUT THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF THE BODY.

THIS LAYER ACTS AS A TRANSLUCENT COAT OF PAINT AND SEALER,

PREVENTING CORROSION AND RUST AND ALLOWING BETTER ADHESION

FOR THE CHOSEN PAINT COLOR TO THE BODY.

MOVING AHEAD, TWO ROBOTS CONTINUE THE PROCESS,

COATING THE ENTIRE BODY WITH A CLEAR COAT

OF A CUSTOMER-DESIRED PAINT COLOR.

EACH ROBOTIC ARM MISTS THE FRAME

WITH TIMELY PRECISION AND MAXIMUM UNIFORMITY.

CLEAR-COATING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART

OF THE PAINTING PROCESS.

THIS LAYER OF PAINT IS DESIGNED TO RESIST ENVIRONMENTAL MARKS,

BIRD DROPPINGS, CAR WASHES, AND OTHER OUTSIDE INFLUENCES.

THE CLEAR COAT, COMBINED WITH THE ELECTROCOAT,

FORMS THE BODY'S TOP COAT,

WHICH GIVES THE CAR'S SHELL ITS OVERALL APPEARANCE.

ONCE THE BODY RECEIVES ALL OF ITS PROTECTIVE PAINT LAYERS,

IT MOVES TO A SPECIALIZED COMPARTMENT FOR CURING.

UNIFORM HEATING OF 285 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT FOR 24 MINUTES

CREATES THE IDEAL DRYING CONDITIONS

BEFORE CONTINUING TO THE NEXT STEP.

TWO ROBOTS SPRAY THE LAST TRANSPARENT COAT OF PAINT,

PERFECTLY COVERING THE BODY.

ONCE THE PROCESS IS FINISHED,

THE BODY WILL MEET ITS MOTORIZED COUNTERPART

AND BECOME THE UNIQUE FOUR- WHEEL-DRIVE FERRARI SPORTS CAR.

Narrator: THE GAS DIRECT-INJECTION V-12 ENGINE

IS THE HAND-CRAFTED HEART OF THE FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE FERRARI FF.

ONE ENGINE TAKES FIVE DAYS TO ASSEMBLE

BY AN EXPERIENCED WORKER WHO SIGNS AN ASSEMBLY CERTIFICATE

DELIVERED TO CUSTOMERS.

FERRARI'S MECHANICAL WORKSHOP IS COMPRISED OF 15 AREAS

CONTAINING WORK STATIONS WITH MACHINE TOOLS,

OFFICES, AND TWO GREEN AREAS.

IT'S A SPACE WHERE TECHNOLOGY

AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY COEXIST.

IN THIS PARTICULAR ROOM, TWO ASSEMBLY ROBOTS

AFFECTIONATELY NAMED ROMEO AND JULIET

INSTALL VALVE-SET INSERTS INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD --

AN OPERATION KNOWN AS THE THERMAL INTERFACE PROCESS.

ONE ROBOT PASSES THE RING TO THE OTHER ROBOT,

WHICH PLACES THE RING INTO THE HEAD.

THE VALVE SETS COOL AND SHRINK 40 TO 60 MICRONS

IN LIQUID NITROGEN COOLED AT -320 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

WHEN THE VALVES ARE WARMED UP TO ROOM TEMPERATURE,

WHICH INCREASES ITS VOLUME BY 0.12 TO 0.15 SQUARE MILLIMETERS,

THEY CLASP TIGHTLY INTO PLACE.

THIS AREA IS KNOWN AS THE 12-CYLINDER ASSEMBLY LINE,

COMPOSED OF FIVE SECTIONS.

IN THE FIRST SECTION,

A WORKER MOVES THE 12-CYLINDER ENGINE BLOCK TO A TABLE

TO INSTALL THE CYLINDER SLEEVES.

USING A RUBBER MALLET, SHE HAMMERS THE SLEEVES INTO PLACE

WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A SUPPORT FIXTURE,

WHICH LIFTS AND RELEASES EACH SLEEVE INTO THE BLOCK PIPES.

THAT ACTION IS REPEATED UNTIL SHE INSTALLS THE 12 LINERS.

THE CYLINDER LINERS SERVE AS THE INNER WALL OF THE CYLINDER,

FORMING A SLIDING SURFACE FOR THE PISTON RINGS

WHILE RETAINING THE LUBRICANT WITHIN.

A WORKER DOUBLE CHECKS

THAT THE SLEEVES ARE ALIGNED WITH THE BLOCK'S PIPES

BY TAPPING THE ENDS WITH A RUBBER MALLET.

A WORKER ROTATES THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK ON A LIFT,

OILING THE CAM BEARINGS

BEFORE PLACING THE CRANKSHAFT INTO POSITION.

ONCE THE CRANKSHAFT IS IN PLACE,

THE WORKER INSTALLS CONTAINMENT CLAMPS

TO KEEP THE ROTATING PART IN POSITION.

HE ROTATES THE ENTIRE CYLINDER BLOCK

IN PREPARATION

FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE ENGINE'S PISTONS.

THE ENGINE PISTONS ARE MADE FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY,

USING THE SAME RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

FOR FERRARI'S FORMULA 1 RACING CARS.

A WORKER INSTALLS EACH OF THE 12 PISTONS BY HAND

AND VERIFIES THAT THEY ARE INSERTED CORRECTLY

WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A CYLINDRICAL GUIDE.

ONCE FINISHED, THIS 12-CYLINDER ENGINE,

ALONG WITH ITS OTHER RUNNING COMPONENTS,

WILL ALLOW THE CAR

TO REACH A TOP SPEED OF OVER 200 MILES AN HOUR.

THE 12-CYLINDER ENGINE SPENDS ROUGHLY 62 MINUTES

AT EACH STATION.

IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY FIVE DAYS FOR ASSEMBLY.

ALMOST COMPLETE, THE ENGINE REQUIRES

THE PROPER ELECTRICAL WIRING AND MECHANICAL TUBING.

A WORKER METICULOUSLY PLACES A WEB OF TUBES

ONTO THEIR PROPER OUTLETS.

ONCE THE WIRES AND TUBES ARE CONNECTED,

HE SECURES THEM WITH HIGH- STRENGTH SCREWS AND FASTENERS.

THE VELOCITY STACK IS PART OF THE ENGINE'S AIR-INTAKE SYSTEM,

WHICH ALLOWS FOR A SMOOTH AND EVEN FLOW OF AIR

AT HIGH VELOCITIES.

THE WORKER ADDS THE STACK

AND BOLTS IT ON EACH SIDE USING AN AIR-IMPACT WRENCH.

THIS CAR'S ENGINE DELIVERS A SENSATIONAL TONE

BECAUSE THE INTAKE NOISE IS CHANNELED

FROM FILTER CASINGS INTO THE CABIN,

MAKING AN UNMISTAKABLE SOUND WITHOUT BEING LOUD.

THE WORKER USES A MOTORIZED ASSEMBLY SHUTTLE

TO TRANSPORT THE ENGINE JUST A FEW FEET AWAY,

WHERE THE VELOCITY STACK WILL RECEIVE ITS STYLISH COVERS.

THIS COMPLETES THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HIGH-END V-12 ENGINE.

THE 6.3-LITER, V-12, DIRECT- INJECTION, 6,262-cc ENGINE,

DELIVERS A POWER OUTPUT OF 660 HORSEPOWER AT 8,000 RPM,

WITH MAXIMUM TORQUE OF 504 POUND-FEET AT 6,000 RPM.

BUILT FOR IMPRESSIVE RESPONSE AND UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE,

THIS ENGINE IS SOLELY MADE FOR THE FF MODEL.

AFTER THE ASSEMBLY,

THE ENGINE UNDERGOES A SERIES OF DRIVING AND EMISSION TESTS.

Narrator: WITHIN FERRARI'S ASSEMBLY-LINE BUILDING,

THE OVERHEAD TRANSPORT CAROUSEL

IS COMPLETELY ERGONOMICALLY ADVANCED.

IT'S PROGRAMMED TO ROTATE AND ADJUST FF BODY SHELLS

TO EASILY FACE WORKERS OF ANY HEIGHT.

THIS SECTION OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE

IS WHERE WORKERS INSTALL MOBILE PARTS,

LIKE DOORS AND TRUNK LIDS, AS WELL AS INTERIOR PARTS.

OPERATION AND QUALITY-CONTROL TESTS ARE EXECUTED

BEFORE THE BODY MOVES TO THE NEXT LINE.

PREPARED AND WAITING,

THE HATCHBACK BODY SHELL HANGS IN AN OVERHEAD CAROUSEL BRACKET

BEFORE THE NEXT ASSEMBLY PHASE.

THE DASHBOARD MAY SEEM UNFAMILIAR,

BUT THIS IS A CRUCIAL STEP

IN INSTALLING ITS SWITCHES AND DIALS.

IN THE UPHOLSTERY DEPARTMENT,

NEARLY 75% OF ALL INTERIOR CABIN WORK IS DONE BY HAND.

THE CAR'S CHASSIS IS ABOUT HIGHER CABIN COMFORT,

SPACE REQUIREMENTS, AND SAFETY STANDARDS.

USING A SPACE-FRAME DESIGN AND MADE FROM ALUMINUM,

THE CAR'S CHASSIS IS MUCH LIGHTER

THAN ANY OTHER ROAD CAR IN THE AUTOMAKER'S HISTORY,

AND WITH GREATER TORSIONAL RIGIDITY.

THE INTERIORS ARE ALWAYS PERSONALIZED

WITH OPTIONS LIKE MATCHING OR CONTRASTING STITCHING,

ACCENTS LIKE CARBON FIBER,

OR FABRICS WITH ALUMINUM EFFECT OR TITANIUM EFFECT.

WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A LIFTING DEVICE,

WORKERS INSTALL THE DASHBOARD,

ENSURING THAT THE CONSOLE PARTS FIT SECURELY.

ONCE THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MOUNTED,

THE STEERING WHEEL, EQUIPPED WITH THE MAIN CONTROLS,

WILL BE ADDED, OFFERING DIFFERENT VEHICLE DYNAMICS.

A WORKER INSPECTS THE RUNNING GEAR,

WHICH INCLUDES THE ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

FOR INSTALLATION BELOW THE BODY SHELL.

THIS CAR'S ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEM IS 50% LIGHTER

THAN THE AVERAGE SYSTEM,

WITH TWO INDEPENDENT TRACTION SYSTEMS.

THE REAR WHEELS PROVIDE THE POWER,

WITH TORQUE TRANSFERRED ONLY TO THE FRONT AXLE WHEN REQUIRED.

USING A MECHANIZED DOLLY,

THE WORKER MOVES THE RUNNING PARTS BELOW THE FRAME,

WHERE ANOTHER WORKER LOWERS THE CAROUSEL BRACKET,

AND THE LARGE COMPONENTS MEET HALFWAY.

A TEAM OF WORKERS MERGE THE RUNNING GEAR,

CONSISTING OF THE SUSPENSION, STEERING,

AND ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE POWERTRAIN

WITH THE SHOOTING-BRAKE BODY SHELL,

USING POWER TOOLS TO LOCK THE PARTS IN PLACE.

WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A LIFTING DEVICE,

A WORKER PLACES THE FIVE-SPOKE RIMS AND TIRES

ON THE RESPECTIVE WHEEL PLATES, SECURING THEM WITH BOLTS.

BOTH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND REAR WINDOWS

RECEIVE A HIGH-STRENGTH ADHESIVE

THAT A ROBOT DEPOSITS ONTO THE EDGES OF THE GLASS.

ANOTHER ROBOT PRECISELY ANTICIPATES THE CAR'S LOCATION

AND DELIVERS THE NEW WINDOWS INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE POSITIONS

WITH CALCULATED PRESSURE AND CARE.

AFTER ONE MONTH OF ASSEMBLY,

A WORKER FILLS GASOLINE INTO THE TANK.

WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE VITAL PARTS IN PLACE,

THE CAR REQUIRES A FEW MORE ELEMENTS

BEFORE BECOMING AN EXTREME TWO-DOOR HATCHBACK.

ALL STYLE AND SOUL ASIDE,

THIS CAR WAS BUILT TO TACKLE EVEN THE LOWEST-GRIP TERRAIN,

INCLUDING SNOW, ICE, AND DIRT.

ITS MODERN SHOOTING-BRAKE SHAPE AND STYLING CUES

ARE TO BE ADMIRED.

THE CHASSIS ENGINEERING DELIVERS SUPER-CAR DYNAMICS

AND THE PRANCING HORSE'S F1 RACING DNA.

TAILORED TO PERFECTION,

THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS AS STELLAR AS THE BOLD EXTERIOR.

AS THE FIRST FERRARI WITH ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE,

THE FF IS STRIKING WHEN ON THE MOVE.

A V-12 ENGINE PRODUCING 660 HORSEPOWER MAKES IT A SUPER CAR

WHERE SPEED AND POWER ARE NEVER COMPROMISED IN ANY ENVIRONMENT.

REACHING ZERO TO 60 MILES PER HOUR IN JUST 3.7 SECONDS,

IT EASILY MELDS EXTREME PERFORMANCE

WITH DAY-TO-DAY VERSATILITY.

A FRESH TAKE ON THE SPORTY GRAND TOURER,

THE FF WILL ALWAYS BE A SUPER CAR

DIFFERENT FROM ANY FERRARI OR OTHER DREAM CAR EVER MADE.
