The FF holds a position in Ferrari’s history that no other model occupies. It was Maranello’s first production all-wheel-drive vehicle, powered by a naturally aspirated V12, wrapped in a shooting brake body that gives it genuine rear cargo space. No other Ferrari before or since combines those three elements.
We see the FF attract a specific type of renter — someone who knows what this vehicle represents within the Ferrari catalog and chooses it deliberately over mid-engine two-seaters. Enthusiast collectors, couples planning multiday coastal getaways, and corporate hosts entertaining clients across a full San Diego itinerary book this grand tourer when they need rear seating and real luggage capacity paired with a 651-horsepower V12 soundtrack.
The shooting brake rear profile stands apart from every other vehicle in our Ferrari rental fleet. Renters who want a mid-engine coupe experience gravitate toward our F8 Tributo or 458 Spider instead.
V12 Engine, Patented 4RM All-Wheel Drive, and Shooting Brake Practicality
The 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 delivers 651 horsepower and revs with the kind of mechanical immediacy that turbocharged engines approach from a fundamentally different direction. Power feeds through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission into Ferrari’s patented 4RM all-wheel-drive system — a front axle unit that engages independently based on traction demand.
Four seats accommodate adults in both rows. The rear hatch opens to reveal flat cargo space that expands further when the back seats fold — enough room for weekend luggage, golf bags, or photography equipment on a multiday rental.

Rate, Required Documents, and What Happens at Vehicle Handover
Our daily Ferrari FF rate sits at $1,599, reflecting the V12 powertrain and collector positioning within the fleet. Seasonal demand and advance booking window influence final pricing.
A valid driver’s license, proof of auto insurance, and a credit card for the security deposit are required at pickup. International visitors can purchase our rental insurance option at $225 per day with a $5,000 deposit. Our documents checklist covers everything to have prepared.
At Harbor Drive, we walk you through the 4RM system behavior, Manettino drive mode positions, V12 throttle characteristics at low speed versus highway pull, and rear hatch cargo loading. Support stays reachable 10 AM–10 PM across your entire rental period.
San Diego Routes Where a V12 Grand Tourer Earns Its Daily Rate
Pickup is at Suite 225, 111 Harbor Drive — alongside the Convention Center and within reach of downtown hotels and the Gaslamp dining district. Renters landing at San Diego International can align handover timing through our airport pickup guide.
The FF reveals its character on longer-distance San Diego drives that expose the limits of smaller, stiffer mid-engine supercars. A Temecula Valley wine country loop covers roughly 180 miles round trip — territory where V12 cruising refinement and all-wheel-drive confidence on unfamiliar mountain roads justify the grand touring label. The Julian and Sunrise Highway route east of the city delivers a similar reward. Our scenic drives guide maps each itinerary.
The shooting brake silhouette draws a different kind of attention in the Gaslamp and Little Italy than a conventional supercar profile. Bystanders who recognize the shape understand its rarity — and that awareness generates conversations at valet lines and restaurant arrivals that standard Ferrari models trigger less frequently.
Rental Questions About the Ferrari FF
Why does Ferrari call this a shooting brake?
The term describes a two-door body with a long roofline extending over the rear cargo area — a silhouette borrowed from classic European estate cars. Ferrari applied it to the FF to solve the luggage and rear-seat limitations that their mid-engine coupes carry.
How does the V12 feel compared to your twin-turbo V8 Ferraris?
The naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 builds power smoothly from idle to redline with no turbo lag and a mechanical exhaust tone that rises in pitch rather than volume. Our 488 Spider and F8 Tributo deliver torque differently — harder initial shove, flatter power curve, and a turbine-like exhaust character.
Who typically books a four-seat Ferrari over a two-seat model?
Couples traveling with another couple, parents with older teenagers, corporate renters hosting clients across a full-day San Diego itinerary, and collector-minded enthusiasts who seek the FF specifically for its historical significance as Ferrari’s first AWD production vehicle.
Does the all-wheel-drive system behave like a conventional AWD vehicle?
Ferrari’s patented 4RM system operates through a separate front-axle unit that engages only when rear traction diminishes. Under normal conditions, most power stays at the rear wheels. The transition between two-wheel and four-wheel engagement is seamless — we explain the behavior during your walkthrough.
Can the rear cargo space handle golf clubs or weekend bags?
The hatch opens to a flat loading floor that accepts golf bags laid lengthwise, full-size weekend luggage, or bulky camera equipment. Folding the rear seats expands capacity further for a multiday trip.
How early should I confirm a reservation on this vehicle?
