    Very interesting news!

    Obviously the AWD will be introduced quicker than many have expected.

    Why 4WD? It's heavy, there always some effect on the the steering and Ferraris don't have any traction problems.

    IMO Ferrari should rely upon their strengths: RWD and transaxle!

    According to another source, the car shown above isn't necessarily an AWD-version.

    Well, it will only be a option in the GT cars, and from what I have read it will ONLY use the front wheels when needed. It will be very different from say Lambo's system that is always "on". I still wouldn't order it. I'll stick with RWD.

    Question will be, does it come for free or will it be a pricy option.

    Knowing Ferrari, I guess the latter will be the case.

    Maybe owners can use the 612 AWD system for when there is icy conditions Especially in northern Europe.
