The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T has made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show.
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T features a 3.9 litre twin turbo V8 engine that does duty in the California T. The engine develops 602 bhp at 7,500 rpm and maximum torque of 760 Nm coming up between 3000 and 5250 rpm.
One of most innovative features of the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T’s V8 is Variable Boost Management, a control software that adjusts torque delivery to suit the gear selected, delivering increasingly powerful pick-up as revs rise, whilst optimising fuel consumption. And all without impinging on driving pleasure. As the car goes up through the gears (from 3 rd to 7 th ), the amount of torque delivered by the engine increases all the way up to 760 Nm in 7 th gear. This has allowed Ferrari to adopt longer gear ratios in the higher gears to the benefit of fuel consumption (the car’s range is, in fact 30 per cent more than the V12-engined model).
Unlike its bigger V12 sibling, the GTC4 Lusso T comes with rear wheel drive. This makes the car lighter by 80 kg. It comes with rear wheel steering that is with the latest evolution of the electronic controls of the SCM-E suspensions, ESP 9.0 and third generation Side Slip Control (SSC3).
The 4WS (rear-wheel steering) helps provide a sharper response to steering wheel inputs, both entering and exiting corners, thanks to the fact that the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front ones.
underscore the potential of the car’s architecture and vehicle dynamics controls, particularly the rear-wheel steering and electronic differential (E-Diff). The combined effect of the two systems is that torque is efficiently split between the two rear wheels, controlling slip when the rear wheels are on mixed grip surfaces. The rear-wheel steering makes turning in, cornering and exiting corners more effortless, by making yaw angle more predictable with an instant reduction in the amount of steering wheel correction needed and its frequency.On the interior, the GTC4Lusso T features the unique Dual Cockpit architecture. It also features the latest iteration of the infotainment system with a 0.25” HD capacitive touchscreen.
