Driving the World’s Most Depreciated Ferrari 

From talking about Skylines to driving Ferarris on canyon roads with his boys. James has had a legendary come up.

The most depreciated Ferrari yet its still 85 grand out of my budget

The Ferrari FF is definitely the most underrated Ferrari ever. It is soooooo cool! Who wouldnt want a shooting brake Ferrari?

Thanks for releasing this video guys, I've been shopping around for my next daily so this is perfect timing. I think I've narrowed it down to this or a 2012 civic ex

I’ve always thought the FF was the shooting brake version of the F12, and the GTC4 was the shooting brake version of the 812. I love these.

Replacing the transmissions makes the depreciation a lot more understanding 😂

I owned my FF for 2yrs and literally used it as my daily driver. I have two kids and it handled everything. I used to put power washers in the back and loaded it with groceries. I think the price is a reflection of 2 things… first the reliability of the PTU, which you noted. Thankfully there are now after market repair shops that can repair the PTU for about $10k which is significantly less than buying a new one. Second is the looks. You either love or hate the shooting brake design. Personally I loved it. With only 2300 made this is one of the best deals across the entire car market. I traded my FF in on an F12 but if you are looking for a practical Ferrari you just can’t go wrong with the FF. Loved every second of ownership.

Wrong!!! 🛑 Ferrari built FF to compete with Porsche Panamera not with Cayenne

Man the FF and GTC Lusso is one of the few Ferraris that’s I genuinely like.

I’ve always loved the hatchback shapes of the FF and the GTC4Lusso. I really think they nailed getting the hatchback shape to fit the Ferrari design language.

The giggle from James and Nolan after every hard acceleration tells me everything I need to know about this Ferrari. 👍

Love the FF, imagine going up to Tahoe over the holidays. V12 screaming and 3 people with you. Sublime Motoring

“The hatchback Ferrari” In all seriousness I’ve always loved the idea of the school run with my kids in this with them in the back

I work at a ferrari dealership, and out of all the cars i have to move or test drive. This one is one of the easiest and most fun. Great vid!

I used to drive one for a little while. These are great cars and I could say Ferrari designed their best GT ever with this one. Perfect for long road trips (if you like gas stations ofc ^^). The only real problem was the front "gearbox" that works like a river of shit. Apart from this, I was surprised by how it's a relaxing car. Not like the Italia or others that scream "crush the pedal" at any time. This one gives you a nice feeling of just driving to have a break and forget about life. Nice car. Expensive asf at the begnning and when the front gearbox gives you a middle finger, but it's a Ferrari so you know you put your feet in an expensive religion when you drive these red cars... But for what it is I felt really surprised about how good it was as an [almost] daily driver.

I love the look! It's like a cross between a Supercar and a Hatchback; basically my dream car.

If I'd have known they were gonna depreciate this much, I'd have started saving up like ten years ago.

Hands down one of my favorite Ferrari's. Kinda prefer it over the new SUV that they insist isn't.

I love these. Saw one last night actually. The back gives me the early 2000s Mcoupe vibe. I love that car too.

I got to sit in one of these not too long ago. I'm guessing it's this exact car as most of this video was filmed in my neighborhood! The owner was nice enough to let me hop in after I told him it was my dream car. Such a sweet ride.

Ferrari FF Owner from Germany here who uses it a lot (bought it at 43000km / about 27000 miles) in 2018 and have used it extensively for 5 Years so far now with 108000km / 67000 miles on it. I was worried first about the yearly Costs like Ferraris usually need a lot after certain km/miles but ended up convinced seeing how a lot of FF Owners here in Germany/Austria/Switzerland apparently often even have over 150000km on their FFs (almost 100000 miles) without any Reliability issues. Yes it still costs a lot of Insurance etc. but so far i didn't have any major expensive Repairs, just the usual Oil Changes and Tire Replacements. It's definitely the Ferrari to own if you want to drive your Ferrari a lot unlike most other Ferraris. Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

I remember reading the Motor Trend magazine in 2011 about the Ferrari FF while eating breakfast and waiting for my school bus to arrive. I was blown away looking at a photo of a Ferrari driving through the snow and I instantly fell in love with it. Sure it's a weird car but I have a soft spot for it.

That's a shooting break, not ferraris' answer to the cayenne 😂

You guys have the best car program ever made! Sure Top-Gear had some more "fantastic" stuff they did, but when it comes down to just cars, nobody has ever done it better than you! Funny, informative and delivered by true car lovers that don't hunger for fame. You just come across as super fucking nice and funny guys, and I kinda wish I could be a part of your team! :)

I honestly LOVE the FF, but I love wagons so this is right up my alley

$80-90k is a bargain for these. Considering it's not much more than a used GTR with similar mileage and these are basically discount F12's. The main cause for the low entry cost seems to be the PTU (the front power transfer unit). There are now repair kits for under $10k, but going through the dealer for a PTU repair would cost ~$40k. However, some folks at the Ferrari Chat forums mentioned a shop that does a RWD conversion and deleting the PTU altogether, which is what I'd do if I have one of these.

Cool review!. We have a Ferrari club at my work come in at least once per year along with numerous other car clubs so I've seen these numerous times. At first I wasn't very fond of them but they sure have grown on me and I Really like them now!.

If I'd be able to afford one of these I would buy it instantly, I feel people are sleeping on this odd ball Ferrari and will be a really sought after model in the future. It's sort of the best of both worlds.

2:15. "A Ferrari that could be your only car!" James, you're a great guy but PLEASE stay off the drugs!😂

I am a certified zoomer and I LOVED the FF when it came out (and still do). Always been a fan of shooting brakes. Kinda sad I don't see many out on the road.

Love it! As a swede, it kind of reminds me of the Volvo P1800ES (one of the most beautiful cars ever made).

My favourite Ferrari Keep up the fantastic work guys, absolutely killing it ❤

That smile on Nolan's face driving through the canyons let's you know it's a Ferrari

Personally have always loved the FF and the GT4 Lusso. Love the shooting brake style.

when i was a kid i fell in love with the FF. ive been big on shooting brakes as far as i can remember, z3m ctsv e63 i love em all. if the FF has one fan, its me

Man this car looks the bomb. It aged well and that v12 sounds amazing

I love this, no yelling just genuine personalities! Love all the vids but this is prob my fav, keep it up!!!

I remember when these came out, as a Ferrari purist I HATED it. But when I saw one in person, that Ferrari magic was still there, and I thought it looked pretty nice!

My man James looking f*ing great! Keep it up my man!

That's crazy because I love the way it looks!!! It looks a beefed up BMW M Coupe from the late 90s

Hugely underrated, and Chris Harris loves his - it may have hatchback though but it's a shooting brake! There's no equivalent EV either so I think this will hold its value well and even maybe go back up.

As an FF owner, this car is too much fun to drive to not drive it every day. Mine is still under warranty so maintenance has had no real cost. The common fear of a $30,000 fix for the transmission is overblown. Maybe 10% have had that problem, and now there are $10,000 solutions. I’ve always loved the unique look of shooting brakes. Sure a Panamera is less expensive, but are quite common. I don’t see any other FF’s. I’d guess that here are only 400 of these in the USA, and most of those are in Florida and California. Usually owners have other Ferraris. The going rate in the USA on BAT has been $130,000. For a late model, low mileage FF from a Ferrari dealer with a two year extension on the warranty runs more like $170,000. Every extra 1,000 miles costs $1,000 on resale. Since FF’s are often high mileage, that can subtract a lot. I have been in a Purosangue and the advantage is four doors. I’m 6’4” and the back seat space fine but is the same as the FF. But they are sold out until 2025. This review was good and enjoyable. The title works as clickbait.

your motor prestige playlist is awesome :D

My dude Nolan out here cut! Putting in that work bro we see you 💪.

The FF and GTC4 Lusso are my favorite ones. All about that hatch/wagon practicality with speed.

This car has actually appreciated since Covid. They're also realistically not as cheap as the one in this video. If you want a well cared for example with less than say 15k miles, you're looking at more around $150,000. If you're buying one of these for less than $100,000 then it either has a bunch of miles or there's an issue. Repair work and parts are also quite expensive.

0:00 Good Morning Sir, yesterday i started to study, im super ready lets go!

Best car content on any platform! Ya made it. The new top gear is washed , ya number one son!🎉

I love hatchbacks a LOT. They're so practical for their size. I can carry all of my belongings from one side of the country to another. The FF is absolutely one of my dream cars. Beautiful car and so awesome that the price has come fown to where i still cant afford it😂

It's amazing- I was working at a vendor for Ferrari when it was coming out and saw a pre-production one in our lot. Looked effing awesome.

I love it being a shooting brake. Idg what's not to like. One of my all-time favorite Raris along with the base F12 and California

I have always loved these, I think they're super unique!

Love the FF, and the BMW Clown Shoe. Shooting brake layout are always cool to me

I still wanna see a moneypit episode on Zach’s Silvia

Donut crew should do a road trip with depreciated cars, that would be awesome

James, the E30 might look small. But that trunk is BIGGG. of you cant fold back the seats. But the amount of stuff ive hauled in my e30 coupe is insane.

I LOVE the shape of the FF. I still will never be able to afford one but I love that crazy shooting brake.

I've always loved the FF. I had no idea it's gone down in price that much!

I love the FF. The wagon body is so underrated.

One of my favourite Ferrari's. I also love the Z3 Coupe so I have a thing for weird hatchbackish cars

I believe the Ferrari California depreciated even more

What a beautiful journey by the donut family

The final screen typo for the channel ... so forgivable because of the quality content❤

I remember seeing the FF in person for the first time in Neiman Marcus, the year they released their Neiman Edition FF. I thought it was stunning then, and still think it’s still stunning now.

I imagine the FF going the same way as the Dino, people shat all over them, I remember 10-15 years ago you could buy a Dino for 30k, nowadays they’re 500k. The same I think will happen to the FF considering its styling is very polarizing but it grows on you after awhile much like the Dino

Huh, I had no idea these are cheap compared to other Ferraris, I thought they looked sick!

Great show, really enjoyed it, question: can you remove the front wheel drive transmission and run it on rear wheel drive only? Just a thought.

The FF is my favorite Ferrari fr its cool af. Also Donut has their own ads??? 🔥🔥🔥

Pumphrey retching because the exposed lock made him feel poor had me rolling.

I’m not complaining but I do miss the days of up to speed it was just so good, so funny and James and that show were just such a good fit

I love how at 14:22 they floor it and just start laughing

Reminds me of the ‘67 Camaro John Cusack had in Better Off Dead and I could totally see putting a roof rack on it and going skiing! Love hot hatches and a Ferrari NA V12 is what BMW Z4s or GTIs dream of

Totally agree with this, I always loved that this car had the hatchback. I just wonder if theres an affordable long-term solution for that faulty front transmission. Maybe bypass it entirely and just make it RWD lmao

Gordon Ramsay’s favorite channel

$80k ="wrecked and rebuildable."

i love touring style cars, this is car exactly my jam!

Day 404 of asking James to do and Up to Speed on his Dad

Personally, I love the look of the FF, looks a lot like the Aston Martin zagato shooting brake, surprised these depreciated as much as they did, especially with that Ferrari V12

This is genuinely my favorite Ferrari. It's so beautiful. 😮😮😮

I love it!! It reminds me of the M coupe, another one of my favorites 😍

I think it looks great. I’d definitely drive it.

I love you donut… anddd the donut family🖤❤️🩵💞

Impressive work James!!! Looking godly

For me the most usefull ferrari of all time. I love small hatches ( buyed another one 3 wees ago ). So so so so nice car ! :) Love the design of every angle

I love this car, looks great to me!

Still love the styling of the FF

Really enjoyed this one, make more of these older cheaper super car tests. How about the first gen R8

I think the FF is the right amount of beautiful and brutal looking. One of my favourites

You guys forgot Brunei made custom Ferrari wagons back in the 90’s. I always think that’s where they got the idea from.

This Ferrari has always been one of my top 5 favorites they ever made. I loved the sleek look of the car and the fact that it retained the legendary Ferrari V12. It was the best of both worlds. You could rip around on a twisty road, but then go pick up the kiddos when you're done and take them to soccer practice. I mean, I guess I get why it depreciated so much in the eyes of the "purists", but I'd buy one today if I could find one for the price advertised here.

I LOVE that shooting brake/hatchback design

My Panamera is super functional. I literally can put 8’ sticks of trim in it inside from Home Depot and the hatchback you can load up on a Costco run. I would go that route..

I LOVE the hatchback

Question is, can it go more than a 1000 miles without breaking down?

The shooting brake is lovely. I love this car.

Donut is my favorite playlist in the crew motorfest

This is the Donut video I've enjoyed the most. The length is perfect (more than 17 minutes is too much, less than 15 feels like half-assing) and I even enjoyed the ad. Great job, guys.

Hatch back Ferrari. I like it!!! I would love to pull up and pull out a paddle board and act like it's not weird.

Forgetting about the classic ones, the FF is my favorite Ferrari, love it since it came out

I sadly haven't seen any donut media in awhile ...good to see the boys looking healthier!
