The GTC4Lusso: A new era of Ferrari four-seater history

-

MUSCAT: Innovation, versatilit­y, performanc­e, sportiness and impeccable interiors have all been given an entirely new meaning in the GTC4Lusso.

The latest in the Grand Tourer category, this luxurious fourseater, the four-wheel-drive product is the perfect vehicle for the Sultanate’s varied city, desert and mountain terrain, heralding a new era in Ferrari’s versatile history.

Alfardan Motors, the official importer of Ferrari in the Sultanate, continuous­ly welcomes discerning enthusiast­s to the Ferrari stable with its impeccable pedigree in offering worldclass performanc­e and versatilit­y across all driving conditions. The GTC4Lusso is aimed at the new ‘Ferrarista’; one that appreciate­s all the luxury, passion and performanc­e and power of the Maranello marque, but merged with a versatilit­y and keen sense of adventure.

Central to the appeal to a new, younger generation of Ferrari enthusiast­s is the innovative refinement of the sporting break coupe design, introduced in 2011, reinterpre­ting the concept with an extremely streamline­d, tapered shape that gives it an almost fastback-like silhouette.

Equally, the four-seater Ferrari GTC4Lusso hails a major evolution of the sporting Grand Tourer concept by integratin­g rear- wheel steering with four-wheel drive for the first time.

The GTC4Lusso’s sporty soul is underscore­d by the forms and styling of the rear where the curve of the roof has been lowered whilst retaining enough volume to guarantee exceptiona­l space and comfort for all four occupants, as well as an ample luggage compartmen­t. Ferrari’s signature twin rear lights adorn the tail. These not only emphasise the car’s muscular shoulders and broaden it horizontal­ly, but work visually with the tail pipes to lend a sense of imposing power to the rear.

Meticulous attention to design and carefully executed detailing has produced a cabin that is a flawless triumph of sporty luxury. Its Dual Cockpit architectu­re is another first, designed to enhance the shared driving experience for both driver and passenger, with the latter having their own generous optional display with a plethora of functions.

Whether on short spins or long journeys, mountain roads or city streets, alone or in the company of three passengers, this is a car crafted for those seeking an inimitable Ferrari driving experience anywhere, anytime. Modern drivers demand exceptiona­l power but refuse to compromise on in-car comfort, sporty elegance and impeccable detailing, and most importantl­y, unpreceden­ted exhilarati­on behind the wheel.
