Ferrari GTC4Lusso T

The interior cabin of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T is easily the most tech-laden and practical cabins among all the Ferrari cars on sale right now. This two-door sports car has a seating capacity of four at most, and while the rear seats are best suited for kids due to lack of legroom and knee room, it still makes up for a usable space at the rear.

The dashboard too feels the more mature and feature-packed when compared to that of the other Ferraris. The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T gets a sport-oriented carbon fiber flat-bottom three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel with a host of controls including engine start-stop button and paddle shifters. The instrument console though looks a bit conventional with two large round analog pods for speedometer and tachometer, and a rectangular LCD screen to the left side of the tachometer for other details.

The center console here comprises of a large and wide trapezoidal touchscreen infotainment system placed at the lower corners of the protruding out round AC vents. There is another sleek rectangular display panel between the round AC dials on the co-passenger side of the dashboard, which forms as a more advanced form of instrument console with a full digital readout screen for it. 

The Ferraris have always been known for the amazing head turners which they usually are, with their sleek design and curvy lines making everyone drool for them. However, the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T tries to break the monotony by offering a standout design which is a bit different from the rest of the lineup. While it still tries to look different from the crowd, the overall design is quite polarizing, especially towards the rear.

The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T seeks a lot of inspiration from the model it has replaced, the FF, which is very evident from the way it has been styled. At the front, the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T looks sleek with a clean look comprising of a wide horizontally laid front grille on the front bumper and slim L-shaped headlamps, the latter of which have LED projectors and stepped layout for the daytime running LEDs.

The side profile of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T is where it gets a bit polarizing, with the sleek lines emerging from the front and towards the roof ending up in an almost flat layout at the back. Nevertheless, the smooth curves flowing over the wheel arches at both the front as well as rear still manage to make it look sleek and attractive.

At the back, the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T gets a wide and squatted stance, with a boot-integrated spoiler between the large and raked rear windscreen as well as dual round LED tail lamps on either side. To enhance the visual drama caused by the round tail lamps, even more, the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T gets quad exhaust pipes, with two units on either side of the rear bumper.

The super stiff setup for the suspension combination of Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T along with a sharply tuned steering feedback makes the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T as purist as other Ferraris, despite differing them on the basis of drivertrain – this is a front engine rear wheel drive Ferrari. 

Under the hood of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T is a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The engine is capable of producing a maximum power output of 610 PS and a peak torque output of 720 Nm. It can hit a top speed of 320 kmph, while the 0-100 kmph sprint takes just 3.5 seconds.

The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T is armed with a rather short list of features when it comes to safety, with the car having front, side, curtain and knee airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, electronic stability program and reverse camera. It misses out on a number of sophisticated electronic aids usually found in premium luxury cars.

The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T is one notch above than the rest of its stablemates, when it comes to practicality, as it offers a better seating capacity and more comfort and convenience features on the inside. It might look a bit controversial, but it still has got loads of oomph to turn many heads on the road.
