    612 had a 7 years run.
    456 had a 12 years run.

    My guess is the FF will be at least 6 years. We might see some improvement next year.

    V12s will remain naturally aspirated.

    Imagine. !

    That would be insane. But they would have to change the name from FF to LL ( license loser).

    Good.

    I've never heard a good sounding turbo V12. I really want to love the Huayra for example, but the noise I simply can't deal with.

    I wish they had stuck the AMG V8 in there or something instead, since they couldn't get the N/A V12 for future emissions :(.

    LaF XX not in Paris. World Finals - maybe and just for the future owners I would guess

    I trust you, you're better place than me for the information even if the information I had was for Paris I think instead they will present the special spider

    The FF is Ferrari's best kept secret! 37,000+ miles so far in mine. Driving the California today :( because of the threat of thunderstorms and hail.

    Wouldn't the 4WD FF be more suited to a thunderstorm?

    You're right. I was a bit quick to assume something so radical would be put on a car as standard. My deepest apologies if I mislead anyone.

    But please allow me a wild guess and say that I think it'll have four wheels. I'm in a bold mood, so I'll even go as far as to say that there will be tires with air in them on those wheels.

    I'm wondering if there will even be a replacement.

    You think they'd not make a 2+2? They would lose valuable sales. The FF is not for everyone though every owner seems to love it.

    I think he means it wouldn't be a direct replacement - i.e. an all-wheel-drive clown shoe.

    If I had to guess (which I don't, but it's fun): I'll bet the FF replacement keeps the AWD, but trades in the hatchback for more of a swoopy fastback look. Think Jaguar F-Type, or a tightened-up (proportioned for a two-door body) Audi A7 .

    That said...would anyone be offended if Ferrari wound up replacing the FF with a legitimate four-door coupe?

    Don't believe they will make a four door ... In fact have gone on record stating such. "clown shoe" is a little harsh ... The whole idea of the FF was to comfortably sit rear passengers, so I wouldn't anticipate a more sloping roofline. Call me a clown but I like the look. Performance ain't too shabby either.

    No need for 4 doors. Getting in and out is plenty easy front and rear and I am 6' 1" and don't bend well at 67 years. And I can climb in my back seat without adjusting the front seat from my driving position.

    I don't own an FF but love it! It's really too bad they aren't selling as well as Ferrari hoped. It's an incredible machine.
