Lock up your Land Rovers - famed Italian car manufacturer Ferrari has shocked the motoring world by revealing the FF, its first-ever four-wheel-drive car.

If you have found yourself wanting a luxurious car capable of whisking you to your favourite shoot in record time, Ferrari have provided the answer in the shape of their new shooting brake.

The Ferrari Four (FF), is a four-seater car with more boot space than a Renault Scenic, and certainly more than enough for transporting four people, their luggage and guns to any sporting destination.

Promising both driver and passengers "an absolutely unique driving experience," the FF has Ferrari's lightweight 4RM four-wheel-drive system coupled to a 6.3 litre V12 engine, capable of taking the car to 62mph from rest in 3.7 seconds.

The FF will have to compete with the likes of Aston Martin's Rapide, Porsche's Panamera and the rumoured Lamborghini Estoque.

Your passengers can also look forward to attempting to reach the FF's somewhat intimidating 208mph top speed.

But don't be fooled into thinking this car's performance is just for show - as the below video proves, the FF will be able to handle the worst of the British weather.



The FF will be officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
