How to spot one
Look for
- Three-door shooting-brake profile, with a wagon-like tailgate.312
- Swept-back headlights in the style of the 458 Italia.5
- Two circular taillights at the rear.5
- Four exhaust outlets at the back.13
- Split-level rear diffuser with a wing-shaped center element.5
Year by year
- 2012
An optional fixed glass roof arrived at Paris: one pane stretches from the windshield header to the rear window.8
- 2014
CarPlay-equipped FFs reached customers, bringing iPhone calls, maps, music and messages to the center display.10
Don’t confuse it with
GTC4Lusso
The GTC4Lusso doubles the round taillights, adds gill-style side vents, loses chrome grille trim and has a new touchscreen dash without the FF's center vent.14
