No doubt about it, the GTC4 Lusso makes a strong case for best all-round Ferrari ever made, and in Tour De France Blue with Cream leather, panoramic sunroof, this week’s #DriveEveryFerrari is just about perfect.
Join us for a full review of this four-wheel-drive, four-seater Ferrari - the design, its features, engine, performance figures, interior comfort and of course a full road test and some Beans!
What are they like to drive in anger? Where does it fit into the history of 4-seater Ferraris? And Is it one for the CarGuys’ garage? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
Please note, this review was originally broadcast in 2021, but has been comprehensively updated to be part of the #DriveEveryFerrari series. We wanted the GTC4 Lusso to be part of the series without filming a whole new episode.. If you’ve seen this episode before, we hope you enjoy it. If you have seen it, you may notice and appreciate the changes.

I prefer the Lusso to the Purosangue. I don't understand the thinking of not continuing this model style.

@sirremusrobinson1070 4 месяца назад

Absolutely 💯

@supersharpblades5673 4 месяца назад

My thinking exactly!

@noelht1 4 месяца назад

Agreed. They had to go down the SUV route because their rivals including Rolls-Royce even are making so much money out of it they couldn’t give it up. But I think they will come back to this format in a few years time. It’s a wonderful car.

@cafe405 4 месяца назад

Agree 100%. The Purosangue has actually grown on me, but I wouldn't need a second to pick between the 2.

@65Antonis 4 месяца назад

The purosangue is more practical, having 4 doors... (And it is (the purosangue), in my opinion, uglier!)

@mattylf1 4 месяца назад

I prefer this to the Purosangue and in that blue it looks like an ideal GT car. That 456 (with the pop up headlights) is a design classic in my opinion.

@christianbliss8944 4 месяца назад

20 minutes of pure automotive joy! Truly the thinking man's Ferrari - much as I love the F12 and 812 I feel on Britsh roads and with our climate you'd actually use this and get to enjoy it so much more, whilst glorying in the same sonorous V12 powerplant but not perpetually worrying you're going to wind up in a ditch on a slightly greasy surface. I think they look stunning in the flesh (there's one in Bristol wrapped in a satin yellow which (hear me out) looks ruddy fantatsic. It's basically the blueprint for the Purosangue, just lower-slung. The glass roof is an absolute must-have as well. Buy one Damian, now!

@myou6675 4 месяца назад

Beautiful specification, this and the 991 GT3 touring would make my dream 2 car garage.

@cxp1701A 18 дней назад

I was lucky enough to drive a V12 model a few years ago. While I originally thought the concept of this car was a terrible idea, it turned out to be the most incredible "do it all" car I've ever experienced. Would have one tomorrow if I could.

@philskype101 Месяц назад

I have one, I traded my Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio in for a 2018 v12 lusso. I drive it everyday its lovely, fast and thirsty.

@quitethesnapper 4 месяца назад

I have one and it is epic. I have a valved exhaust with race cats and a light tune. My favourite Ferrari so far. I have an identical spec Purosangue coming soon. Can't wait to have both Cavalli in my stable. Love the videos, especially this series. Keep them coming please.

@4pevans 4 месяца назад

@TheCarGuysTV 4 месяца назад

@KSL12 4 месяца назад

I have the GTC4 Lusso T which has been fantastic. I bought the T model as ti is lighter and more agile. I didn't want a 4wd Ferrari and the mid range acceleration is phenomenal. I love the V12 but am lucky enough to have an F12. Many thanks for the video.

@RedC220 4 месяца назад

I have an FF, I do around 12,000 miles a year in it. It is outstanding. I did actually fit Lusso back boxes on it to make it quieter in crawling traffic as it was simply anti social with the standard exhaust. I've been in and driven Lusso's and never had the urge to "upgrade" they got it right first time in my opinion. Pan roof is a must though if you're going to use the rear. The steering on an FF is the best in any car I've ever driven. The feel and weight is perfect and it allows you to hustle the car around in a way that doesn't seem possible.

@jamesrobert4106 4 месяца назад

How is the troublesome, little gearbox? Any issues?

@RedC220 4 месяца назад

@@jamesrobert4106 None to date with my car. Now at 36,000 miles. There is a upgrade aftermarket solution now should it fail which is full replacement for circa £10K drive in drive out in 24hrs. Take a look at Parkes Performance. Much of the bad press around the ptu was a lack of understanding of early problems and entire units were being replaced when a minor repair would probably have sorted the issue.

@garyleibitzke4166 4 месяца назад

Has Ferrari fixed the PTU? I've seen/heard lots of complaints about them going bad and costing huge money to replace. Personally I really like the looks, but then I have a thing for "station wagons".

@RedC220 4 месяца назад

There's an aftermarket solution that is better than the factory solution. It's now a sub £10K cost if it was a full replacement. Manufactured by Parkes Performance. My FF is at 36k miles and still on the original PTU

@ghostridertom 4 месяца назад

For me GTC4 Lusso is my favourite Ferrari with "family" edge 🙂. Perfect pair for me with a 458.

@GamingwithKloss 4 месяца назад

@gambanteinodal1246 4 месяца назад

I am not a Ferrari man but this is the one I would get if I was on the market. One thing though, how come Ferrari use cheap plastic buttons in the interior? I would have thought that in such a pricey and luxurious car one would get metal buttons. Otherwise I love it!

@aeromotive2 4 месяца назад

@larrykippings 4 месяца назад

Been driving my V12 Lusso every day this year in the UK, -5 degrees C. Mine has to be the World’s dirtiest Ferrari 😂. Weekly shop, no problem. 4 adults, no problem. V12 screaming engine and almost 700 bhp, you got it. Brilliant everyday car, definitely a daily driver. Infotainment system and speakers are great, Apple CarPlay is a must on this car. Only small issue is that the windows are double glazed, so unlike the bystanders outside, as the driver you don’t quite get to appreciate the engine/exhaust sound. PTU has a tendency to fail, but there’s are companies offering a rebuild with superior parts at a sensible price. Sadly, Ferrari built the PTU with inferior parts, and the seals break at over 25,000 miles. But once rebuilt, they are fine.

@SparrowJ321 2 месяца назад

Aside from price and depreciation and all of that, if you had to choose between the FF and GTC4 Lusso V12, which one would you choose?

@cobra1010 2 месяца назад

@@SparrowJ321Hi, I would always choose the FF. It is the original, I like the looks a bit better and the interior is of higher quality in my opinion (infotainment and digital equipment is not important for me in a Ferrari). The FF steers and handles perfectly without four-wheel-steering. So I would always choose the FF.

Very cool cars to say the least...shocked there is not more demand for them, but you don't get much of a winter over there. Crazy that the internet says the Lusso is the same width of the 488 Pista? (Lusso - 77.95 inches to the 488's - 77.8" )

@ashleywright7909 4 месяца назад

I really like this car!

@cbca6567 4 месяца назад

Excellent video, however I much prefer the 456GT design, with a very compact v12 and manual shift option; bonnet/hood of Lusso too long to see front overhangs. Also like stated in the video the Lusso should have had a much larger boot/trunk to fulfil its family Ferrari GT credentials with four up touring a continent. Its interior plastic controls seem cheap also in look and function and the car is still too heavy. Like stated in the video you can feel the girth and the weight of the car while driving, something reiterated in other reviews i read and saw. All that power and the wide track and tyres to access 200mph only relevant for only some German autobahns, and makes low speed feel and enjoyment less. Pure acceleration can be found on many other cars and sound can be tuned to anything with the right exhaust.

Purosangue, Lusso and FF are head decisions. You walk up to one with what it does than passion. Purosangue divides but will crush Lusso performance, practicality & on the cool wall. Lusso at half price of Purosangue & availability makes sense but will date. A great FF likely scratches the itch.
