The Ferrari GTC4Lusso T is the first four-seater in Prancing Horse history to sport a turbocharged V8 engine. Thrilling driving dynamics are delivered by a combination of rear-wheelonly drive, four-wheel steering, lighter overall weight and increased weight bias towards the rear (46:54). The car’s 3.9-litre V8 turbo maximum power output is 610 cv at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque of 760 Nm is available at between 3,000 and 5,250 rpm.  The GTC4Lusso T’s dynamic control systems have been specifically calibrated to boost responsiveness to commands. In particular, the 4WS (rear-wheel steering), which is integrated with Side Slip Control (SSC3), makes for more rapid response to steering wheel inputs entering and exiting corners, thanks to the rear wheels steering in the same direction as the front ones.   Available with both a carbon-fibre hard top (optional) and soft top, the LaFerrari Aperta boasts the same specification and characteristics as the LaFerrari. It is equipped with the same hybrid power unit as the coupé: an 800 cv 6,262cc V12 engine coupled with a 120 kW electric motor for a total power output of a 963 cv.
