This week Ferrari showed never-before-seen images of the new GTC4Lusso T, which will be the first 4-person model equipped with the new family of turbocharged V8 engines, instead of the naturally aspirated V12. In this case, the 3.9-liter V8 develops up to 610 horsepower at 7,500 rpm, with a maximum torque of 77.5 kgfm. It's a modified version of the V8 that pushes the California T, which has the same torque but "only" 560 hp. Smaller thrusters should reduce emissions. The brand's idea is also to have more versatile models that can be pleasant to drive on a daily basis and that do not disappoint on a race track. Ferrari says the GTC4Lusso T goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and tops 320 km/h in speed. Acceleration is only 0.1 second worse than that of the GTC4Lusso equipped with the naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 engine, with 690 hp and 71.1 kgfm of torque. A new variable turbo control that provides more linear and less aggressive acceleration at low speeds. Among the new technologies incorporated in the GTC4Lusso T are rear wheel steering and a 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen inside, but the drive will be rear only, without an all-round option as in the V12 version. The GTC4Lusso was officially presented to the public in March this year at the Geneva Motor Show and is the successor to the FF.
