Supercars of Hong Kong. Ferrari FF in Amazing Iridescent Violet Colour

A Ferrari in the classic racing red colour may seem a bit boring. 

If this is the case, then you can rush to Hong Kong to buy this FF painted in an ever-changing shade of violet. The iridescent paint changes colour and shade from violet to dark red with the changes in the angle of the incoming light.

The Ferrari FF (FF meaning "Ferrari Four", for four seats and four-wheel drive) is a grand tourer presented by Ferrari on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. It is Ferrari's first production four-wheel drive model.

The body style has been described as a shooting-brake, a type of sporting hatchback/estate car with two doors.It replaced the 612 Scaglietti grand tourer. The FF has a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph) and it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds.

Ferrari states that the FF was the world's fastest four-seat automobile upon its release to the public. 

At the time of its unveiling Ferrari FF has the largest capacity road-going Ferrari engine ever produced: a F140 EB 6,262 cc naturally aspirated direct injected 65° V12, which produces 651 hp at 8,000 rpm and 683 N·m of torque at 6000 rpm. The FF is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch semi-automatic paddle shift system similar to the California, the 458 Italia, and the F12 berlinetta.

Four wheel drive system

The new four-wheel drive system, engineered and patented by Ferrari, is called 4RM it is around 50% lighter than a conventional system, and provides power intelligently to each of the four wheels as needed. It functions only when the manettino dial on the steering wheel is in the "comfort" or "snow" positions, leaving the car most often in the traditional rear wheel drive layout.

This system is based around a second, simple, gearbox (gears and other components built by Carraro Engineering), taking power from the front of the engine. This gearbox (designated "power take off unit", or PTU) has only two forward gears (2nd and 4th) plus reverse (with gear ratios 6% taller than the corresponding ratios in the main gearbox), so the system is only active in 1st to 4th gears. The connection between this gearbox and each front wheel is via independent haldex-type clutches, without a differential. Due to the difference in ratios "the clutches continually slip" and only transmit, at most, 20% of the engine's torque. A detailed description of the system (based on a conversation with Roberto Fedeli, Ferrari's technical director) has been published.
