The Ferrari GTC4Lusso is a four-seater grand tourer produced by Italian car manufacturer Ferrari. It was unveiled on 8 February 2016. Ahead of its world premiére at the Geneva Motor Show. Like the Ferrari FF it replaces, the GTCLusso is a 3-door shooting-brake with four-wheel drive, and is powered by a front-mid mounted 6.3 liter V12 and 3.9-litre twin-turbochargedV8 engine for the GTC4Lusso T.

Specifications
GTC4Lusso
The GTC4Lusso's 6,262 cc (382.1 cu in) Ferrari F140 65° V12 engine produces 690 PS(507 kW; 681 hp) at 8,000 rpm—30 PS more than on the FF, thanks in part to a compression ratio raised to 13.5:1.Maximum torque is 697 N·m (514 lb·ft) at 5,750 rpm. Ferrari claims a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph),unchanged from the FF.
The car uses an improved version (dubbed 4RM Evo) of Ferrari's patented four-wheel drive system introduced on the FF, integrated with four-wheel steering into 4RM-S.
GTC4Lusso T
The GTC4Lusso T's 3,855 cc (235.2 cu in) Ferrari F154 twin turbocharged V8 engine produces 610 PS (449 kW; 602 hp) at 7,500 rpm.Maximum torque is 760 N·m (561 lb·ft) between 3,000 and 5,250 rpm. According to the manufacturer the car can reach a top speed of over 320 km/h (199 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.
The car is rear-wheel drive only, but retains the 4WS four-wheel steering system.
Design
The GTC4Lusso exudes elegance and exclusivity. Its unprecedented forms underscoring its most dynamic traits in an effortless marraige of sportiness and signature GT elements. Penned by Ferrari Design, the GTC4Lusso is a further refinement of the shooting brake coupè, reinterpreting the concept with an extremely streamlined, tapered shape that gives it an almost fastback-like silhouette. Its sporty soul is underscored by the forms and styling of the rear where the curve of the roof has been lowered whilst retaining enough volume to guarantee exceptional space and comfort for all four occupants, as well as an ample luggage compartment. Ferrari's signature twin rear lights adorn the tail. These not only emphasise the car's muscular shoulders and broaden it horizontally, but work visually with the tail pipes to lend a sens of imposing power to the rear. Dynamically chiselled crease lines create a diapason theme along the car's flanks, breaking up the optical mass, accentuating the muscular wheelarch and imparting a sculpted athleticism. The front of the car is dominated by a large single grille that not only provides all the necessary cooling but also lends the car a sense of imposing power The entire Driver Cockpit has been redesigned, in fact, starting with the steering wheel which is now more compact thanks to new smaller airbag. Consequently, the instrument clusters behind the wheel are now more visible. The controls are also new and different in shape, function and positioning, with the aim of further improving ergonomics and ease of use.
Interior
The system includes a 10.25” full HD capacitive touchscreen; a completely redesigned and simplified HMI in which all functions can be accessed both via the screen or 2 rollers and 4 buttons; a Split View function which allows different types of content to be viewed simultaneously; and sat nav with 3D maps The entire Driver Cockpit has been redesigned, in fact, starting with the steering wheel which is now more compact thanks to new smaller airbag. Consequently, the instrument clusters behind the wheel are now more visible. The controls are also new and different in shape, function and positioning, with the aim of further improving ergonomics and ease of use.The Passenger Cockpit was specifically designed to ensure all commands were within easy reach. It is also more comfortable thanks to softer armrests while larger, easy access storage compartments are a practical addition. A dedicated LCD Touchscreen lends it a very modem élan.
Dynamics
The improved 4RM EVO system has been integrated with the rear-wheel steering to produce the new Ferrari-patented 4RM-S (four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering), which was developed around the fourth generation of the Side Slip Control (SSC4) and now also encompasses the E-Diff electronic differential and SCM-E suspension damping system. The improved 4RM system is more precise than ever. Management of front torque in particular has been improved across the board, but specifically in terms of SS4-based Torque Vectoring which delivers and distributes torque to the front axle faster. The result is an improvement in the differentiation between the two wheels during cornering, thus boosting the efficiency of the torque delivery. Proof of this is the innovative use of the PTU, another ingenious Ferrari patent that delivers four-wheel drive but still, uniquely, maintains 53% of the car’s weight at the rear and reduces the system’s weight by 50% compared to conventional 4WD systems. Thanks to the PTU, in fact, 90% of the available torque can be delivered to the outside wheel without penalising the overall traction guaranteed by the front axle. E-Diff, F1-Trac, SCM and ESC to guarantee superb drivability in all weather conditions but the GTC4Lusso marks another major advance, by introducing new control and integration logics with evolved 4RM systems which are then also implemented with the rear-wheel steering.
