For many years, Ferrari has been known for making fast, rear-wheel-drive sports cars that excite people and cost a lot of money. But Ferrari did something different when they made the Ferrari FF in 2011. This new car not only had a special four-wheel drive system but also a unique “wagon-like” design with four seats. It mixed the speed of a sports car with surprising usefulness. Now, in 2025, this special Ferrari can be bought used for a price that is surprisingly easy to manage for car lovers in the USA.
The Ferrari FF: Something Different
The Ferrari FF, which stands for “Ferrari Four” (meaning four seats and four-wheel drive), was a big change for the company. It had a strong 6.3-liter V12 engine that made 651 horsepower. This power, along with Ferrari’s first-ever four-wheel drive system, let the FF go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. That’s really fast for a car meant for long trips.
The 4RM four-wheel drive system was made in a special way. It used a separate part connected to the engine to power the front wheels only when needed, usually when the road was slippery. This special system helped the car feel like a normal rear-wheel drive Ferrari but also gave more control and grip in different weather.
Besides its new technology, the FF’s wagon-like design, created by Pininfarina, was very different from Ferrari’s usual two-door sports car look. The longer roof and back door gave a surprisingly large space for luggage, making it more useful for people who wanted to drive their Ferrari more often than just on weekends.
Easier to Afford Used
When it was new, the Ferrari FF cost around $300,000. But now, the price has gone down a lot, making it a dream that’s easier to reach for some people in the United States. Right now, in May 2025, used Ferrari FF cars in the USA can be found for prices between about $105,000 and $160,000. The price depends on how old the car is, how many miles it has been driven, and how good its condition is.
There are a few reasons why it’s easier to afford now:
- Age and Miles: The first models are now more than ten years old, and many have been driven a good amount because they are good for long trips. This makes their price lower.
- Newer Models: Ferrari made a newer version called the GTC4Lusso in 2016, which was an improved four-seat, four-wheel drive Ferrari. When newer cars come out, the older ones often become cheaper.
- Repair Costs: Even though the starting price might be lower, people who buy one should still know that the costs to repair a V12 Ferrari can be quite high.
The GTC4Lusso: The Next Step
The Ferrari GTC4Lusso, which came after the FF, continued the idea of a four-seat, four-wheel drive car for long trips. It had a newer look, an even stronger V12 engine (in the regular GTC4Lusso), and later a V8 turbo engine (in the GTC4Lusso T).
Used GTC4Lusso cars in the USA usually cost more than the FF because they are newer and have updated features. Right now, in May 2025, used GTC4Lusso models cost between about $160,000 and $260,000.
A Special Chance
The fact that the Ferrari FF is now easier to afford gives car lovers in the USA a special chance to own a piece of Ferrari history that was very new for the brand. It has the exciting speed of a V12 Ferrari along with the usefulness of four seats and four-wheel drive. And it costs surprisingly less compared to other Ferrari models. While people who might buy one should still think about the costs to keep it running, the Ferrari FF is now a good choice for those who want a unique and capable sports car.
