History
Ferrari introduced the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso in 2016 as the successor to the Ferrari FF, continuing the concept of a four-seat, all-weather grand tourer. The name reflects its dual character, combining sportiness with luxury, while the design builds on Ferrari’s approach to creating a more versatile model within its lineup. Two distinct versions were offered. The V12-powered GTC4 Lusso featured all-wheel drive, while the GTC4 Lusso T introduced a turbocharged V8 with rear-wheel drive, providing a different driving character.
Technical Details
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso is available with two engine configurations. The V12 version is powered by a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 690 hp (507 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 697 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm. The GTC4 Lusso T features a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8, delivering 610 hp (449 kW) and 760 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm. Both versions are equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The V12 model incorporates Ferrari’s 4RM all-wheel drive system, while the Lusso T uses rear-wheel drive. Additional systems such as the E-Diff, F1-Trac, SCM, and ESC work together to optimise traction, stability, and overall driving dynamics.
Performance
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso delivers strong performance despite its focus on practicality. The V12 GTC4 Lusso accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of approximately 335 km/h. The GTC4 Lusso T follows closely, achieving 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of around 320 km/h. The combination of performance and usability makes the GTC4 Lusso one of the most versatile cars Ferrari has ever produced.
Dimensions and Weight
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso measures 4.922 mm in length and 1.980 mm in width, reflecting its four-seat grand touring configuration. Dry weight is approximately 1.790 kg for the V12 version and 1.740 kg for the Lusso T. The V12 has a curb weight of around 1.920 kg, while the Lusso T is slightly lighter at approximately 1.865 kg. The luggage compartment offers 450 liters of space, expanding to 800 liters with the rear seats folded, making it one of the most practical Ferraris available.
Design
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso features a distinctive shooting brake design, combining elements of a sports car with the practicality of a grand tourer. The long bonnet and compact front section emphasise its performance credentials, while the extended rear creates additional space without compromising the car’s overall balance. The design successfully blends functionality with Ferrari’s characteristic styling.
Interior
The interior of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso is designed to offer both comfort and usability for all occupants. Unlike most Ferrari models, the GTC4 Lusso provides genuine space for four passengers. The rear seats can be folded to increase cargo capacity, making the car suitable for longer journeys. High-quality materials such as leather, carbon fiber, and aluminum are used throughout, while the infotainment system includes a central display and an optional passenger screen.
Prices
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso occupies a unique position in the market as one of the most practical modern Ferraris. Prices typically range from around €180.000 to €300.000, depending on engine choice, condition, and specification. The V12-powered models tend to command a premium, reflecting their naturally aspirated character and all-wheel drive system.
