Equipped with a 6.3L naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Ferrari FF takes the honor of being the largest capacity Ferrari engine ever produced. However, its abrupt rear end has garnered more attention than the amount of power the V12 generates. As a result, the FF was being labeled as “Fugly Ferrari” by The Straits Times on 7 Jan 2012. It was a tongue-in-cheek remark I suppose. By the way, the word “Fugly” is an informal way of saying “very ugly”.
Personally, I do not consider its rear to be unsightly. A short end does not mean that a car does not look sporty. Take a look at the iconic hot hatch, the Golf GTI, for example. And how about the VW Scirocco (below) ? The rear end drops off sharply as well but it appears to be well-received by Singaporeans and it is hard not to spot one on the Singapore road.
Perhaps, the FF is not your usual sleek-looking Ferrari but it is the most practical one ever built due to the large storage space in the boot. Members of the Singapore Island Country Club would certainly appreciate that. Is the FF that Fugly? Do share your comments below.
