Car classification (hatchback / wagon / crossover / estate / shooting brake[edit]

The Ferrari FF, which uses shooting brake design with a hatchback and a V12 engine, is classified in grand tourer class. I think it's definitely NOT a hot hatch, because it's too large for the small hatchback class, but some small hatchbacks such as Volvo C30 can be shooting brakes.WKB(talk here/This is not Facebook nor Malaysia) 07:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be one hell of a hot hatch, that's for sure, but I agree. At best, "hatchback-like" can be used to describe it to those unfamiliar with the term 'shooting-brake'. The classification was changed to hot hatch in this edit. I'll go ahead and change it back. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 13:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The term Shooting Brake was not familiar to me. I had imagined it was a reference to the aerodynamic properties, not its historical body style. It is a grand tourer according to the Ferrari press release, and the term shooting brake was not used. The 612, its predecessor also was a grand tourer. I see that the Italian and German Wikipedia articles also are using Shooting brake, with the French site using break de chasse as well. I left the term shooting brake, but added the clarification so that an unnecessary break in reading the article is not required. Group29 (talk) 16:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weight[edit]

Curbweight is 1880kg, 1790kg refers to the dryweight http://www.ferrari.com/Spanish/GT_Sport_Cars/Gamma_GT/FF/Ficha_tecnica/Pages/Ficha_Tecnica_FF.aspx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.237.155.241 (talk) 22:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Engine[edit]

This might be the largest production engine in a Ferrari, but the Ferrari 712 Can-Am racer from the early 70s had a 7L engine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.97.43 (talk) 02:07, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

wait... how does that haldex system work then?[edit]

the way i'm seeing it here is that it's like an overrunning clutch type affair, so the front wheels only really get drive when the rears start to slip... but, then, how do you get any drive in reverse? and/or would reverse not need to be shorter rather than taller? (there's also the question of whether you might actually want the 80/20 split to be switched around for reverse, as the front wheels would in that situation typically have better grip than the rears...)

or is that completely off the mark? 87.114.206.46 (talk) 02:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
