    £80k Ferrari FF | Spotted

    1 day ago

    So 2026 in the year of the electric Ferrari. Yikes. Come May we’ll know exactly what the Luce looks like outside, having already assessed and argued about the interior. Progress really is non stop right now. Just 15 years ago, in 2011, the big news was the arrival of the first four-wheel drive Ferrari. What a simple time that now seems. The FF was notable for a few reasons, the first being its 4RM four-wheel drive system. Ferrari being Ferrari, it wasn’t going to copy the rest, but rather devised a Power Transfer Unit to sit between the front wheel of the FF and offer up V12 goodness as required. It weighed just 50kg and meant the new V12 could keep a certain Ferrari flourish to its handling, as well as get you to the ski chalet on time (with winter tyres on, of course).The design was another drastic change from 612 to FF, but again it’s hard to see what the fuss is about today. Perhaps against expectations, the shooting brake is aging far more elegantly than its direct predecessor (perhaps not hard) but also still looks smarter than the GTC4 Lusso update. And it’s way cooler than a Purosangue. Don’t ask us why, it just is.Like every Ferrari with a V12 up front (including the Purosangue), the FF depreciated, but perhaps not to the frightening degree of some of the classics. They seem unlikely to go down below £50k now, with the cheapest ones currently £75,000 and our buying guide putting them at just over £80,000 five years ago; remember the 456 once to below £20,000. Part of that will be due to the FF’s more manageable running costs (all things being relative), this car very much designed with regular use in mind and so didn’t need, say, the engine removing to change an indicator. Or whatever old Ferraris needed.This one has covered 42,000 miles since 2012, which once upon a time would have been almost unprecedented for a Ferrari of this ilk. It had 16,000 miles before its first MOT, has never failed one since, and has only been picked up for tyres and wipers since 2015. The service history is said to be comprehensive (including a big one very recently) and the PTU has been replaced by Ferrari (that being the scariest thing that can go wrong). Obviously a car of this calibre will still cost a fortune to run by any normal metric, but it doesn’t sound like there should be any enormous bills imminent.And check out the colour. Like so many front-engined V12s, the FF didn’t suit red quite like the berlinettas. Darker shades tended to work well, and then there’s this: special order Grigio Ingrid 720, with Testa di Moro leather. To these eyes, it works a treat. And if you don’t like it, there are plenty more FFs to choose from, reflecting their deserved popularity in period. Not many others for £80,000, though… Engine: 6,262cc V12Transmission: 7-speed transaxle dual clutch rear-wheel drive plus independent part-time 4RM front axle drive systemPower (hp): 660@8,000rpmTorque (lb ft): 504@6,000rpmMPG: 18.3 (NEDC combined with optional HELE package)CO2: 360g/km (with optional HELE package)Year registered: 2012Recorded mileage: 42,000Price new: £227,142 (2015, before options)Yours for: £79,925
