Not so long ago, we told you that Scandinavia was seemingly starting to become the new test ground for automakers from around the world to test their vehicles out before actually offering them to the customers. Now, the country has yet again become an automobile test ground, this time for the next generation Ferrari FF. The Italian automaker is testing how its 2016 model year FF fares against adverse weather conditions, such as cold, and Scandinavia only seems to be perfect for such testing purposes.
At a glance, the prototype that Ferrari is testing out there in Scandinavia looks very similar to the present generation model, whose production will most likely cease in the near future. However, the prototype being tested actually wears a camouflage that covers its front bumper. Needless to say, this may hint that the Italian prancing horse has a new front bumper in the works. A slightly revised front grille and a new set of air intakes are not impossible at all in this case.
It seems that the new FF will not have too many differences compared to its predecessor, after all. Yet, if previous reports are to be believed, the car may as well sport a carbon fiber roof in addition to other active aerodynamic tweaks.
Under the hood, the car may still retain a 6.3L V12 engine, only this time it may have been tuned to deliver a peak power output of 700 PS. An improved four-wheel-drive (4WD) drivetrain and a new 8-speed transmission may be expected as well.
So far, everything about the car is basically rumors, nothing is official just yet. Nevertheless, according to the person who has successfully managed to capture the images of the 2016 Ferrari FF, the Italian automaker is actually pushing the prancing horse from Italy through a diverse range of tests, such as to find out if there is still a room for improvements for the traction control.
