Al Fardan Sports Motor, the official importer of Ferrari in Qatar, announced the arrival of the brand new Ferrari GTC4Lusso at a glittering launch ceremony.

The new four-seater marks 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 name references illustrious predecessors, such as the 330 GTC or its 2+2 sister model, the 330 GT and the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, which represented a sublime combination of elegance and high performance. The number 4 alludes to the car's four comfortable seats.

Powered by a 12-cylinder engine, the GTC4Lusso punches out a massive 690 cv at a 8,000 rpm and peak torque of 697 Nm at 5,750 rpm, with 80% available at just 1,750 rpm.

The GTC4Lusso delivers an astonishing top speed of 335 km/h and sprints from 0 to 100 km in 3.4 seconds. Both its 13.5:1 compression ratio and its 2.6 kg/cv weight-to-power-ratio set new records for the category.

"The GTC4Lusso brings unprecedented versatility to Ferrari driving, enabling our customers to discover a whole new dimension of Ferrari.

The strikingly sporty coupe promises to satisfy customers with a thirst for speed and power, without compromising on in-car comfort, sporty elegance and impeccable detailing.

Ferrari Qatar is always committed to deliver beyond our customer's expectations and offer them the pleasure of driving a Ferrari anywhere, anytime," said Charly Dagher, General Manager Ferrari Qatar at Alfardan Sports Motors.

Penned by Ferrari Design, the GTC4Lusso is a further refinement of the shooting brake coupé that comes with an extremely streamlined, tapered shape giving it an almost fastback-like silhouette.

Its 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.

The supercar coupe's interior exudes a flawless air of sporty luxury thanks to the carefully executed detailing. Its Dual Cockpit architecture is another first, designed to enhance the shared driving experience for both driver and passenger.

The GTC4Lusso also debuts the new Infotainment platform featuring a 10.25" HD screen with capacitive touch technology. The new steering wheel is more compact thanks to a smaller air bag and the integrated controls are more ergonomic than ever, making for an even sportier driving experience.

I remember the Volvo 1800 ES Shooting Brake - lovely looking car ..

Then BMW tried the same with the Z3 and made a dog's dinner of it ..

Icapall, not really a hatchback; this body style is called a shooting brake... The Porsche panamera is a shooting brake too... Pretty similar to a hatchback i grant you and yet different...

Brit, the rear end is probably all you're gonna see.

What a shame that the maximum speed allowed in Qatar are only 120 km/h. It seems the car is pretty useless in Qatar unless you want to show off.
