That didn’t take long, but then it never does. Ferrari and Lamborghini have confirmed that their brand-new models, announced only in the past month, are all bought up for the first year’s worth of production.
The unique Ferrari FF, a shooting brake-like supercar that introduces all-wheel-drive to the Italian company’s bag of tricks, is powered by an equally new 6.3-litre V12 engine producing 485 kW and 683 Nm of torque. Without a load in its cavernous rear, the FF will hit 100 km/h from standstill in 3.7 seconds. “With the FF, we open a new book in Ferrari’s history,” Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo told reporters at Geneva. “This is something we have never done before.” Its styling has already proved polarising among the pundits, but with buyers clamouring to get their orders in, it seems Ferrari cannot put a foot wrong. We can likely thank the sure-footedness of all-wheel-drive for that. Watch the official Ferrari FF promo video here.
Lamborghini’s Aventador LP 700-4 enters the market with a more traditional supercar design, if you can call any of the Sant’Agata manufacturer’s designs ‘traditional’. Not to be outdone by Ferrari, the Lamborghini also has a new engine between the axles, with 525 kW and 690 Nm of torque coming from a brand-new V12. Along with the ultra-lightweight carbon fibre tub and body, the new engine pushes the Aventador from 0 – 100 km/h in a neck snapping 2.9 seconds. Learn more about the new Lamborghini Aventador here.
If the supercar battle was ever off, it is most assuredly back on.
