My brother's Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T was delivered. How does it feel to have a Porsche driving brother?

Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T
Reviews & Test Rides

The other day.My brother-in-law just took delivery of a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T.It came to our house. I am already 9 months pregnant and have a big belly, and I get drunk when I drive a sporty car these days.(I can drive it myself...)This time, however, only my husband was allowed to take a ride. So, my husband wrote down his impressions of the test ride, if you would like to read it.


My brother's Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T, which he had long ordered, has been delivered and I have had a chance to drive it a bit.

About my brother who loves cars

By the way, this "younger brotherMany readers may be wondering, "Who the heck is 'the heck'? I am sure that many readers may be wondering, so let me first give a brief introduction.

My brother is five years younger than me.His appearance and personality are nothing like mine, and we are so dissimilar that strangers would never guess that we are siblings.On the other hand, we have some things in common, as do I.I started my own business completely from scratch, and now I am in the human resource-related business.They are doing a wide range of work, mainly in the following areas. AndCar lover from the bottom of his heartIt is.

However, their taste in cars differs greatly.Italian car lover, super car lover, SUV lover.and he has very different interests than I do. I don't really know what and how many cars my brother has at this point, but as far as I know he has bought in the past

Ferrari 488 Spyder, Maserati Ghibli, Maserati GranTurismo(I bought it twice.)AMG G63, Range Rover Sport, Lamborghini Huracan, Lexus LX570, Porsche Macan Turbo...

The car he loves is still in the market. His desire to purchase a new car continues to this day.Ferrari F8 Tribute to be delivered soon.It seems.

Because of this taste in cars, no matter how far we go, we will never fully understand each other's taste in cars. Having said that.When we meet, we talk more about cars than business, and sometimes we talk about cars for an hour on the phone at night.The two seem to understand each other at some point, since they are about the same age.

Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T, test drive

Such is the case with my brother.Ferrari GTC4 Lusso Twas delivered, and he immediately came to my house for a ride.

I have seen the GTC4 Lusso a few times, but this is the first time I have seen it for real. Since it is a Lusso T, this is a model equipped with a V8 engine, and the 3.9-liter turbo engine squeezes out a maximum output of 610 hp and maximum torque of 760 Nm.

The exterior of the car is a wagon, or shooting break, or whatever you want to call it, with a very unique design. People around my age would think of it as a "wagon" or a "shooting break.BMW Z3 coupe, yikes!Some people might say, 'I don't know.

Driving a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T

I ask my brother.I love Ferraris and wanted a Ferrari that I could drive with my family and use on a daily basis.So they decided to go with this one. Certainly, this car can accommodate four people and carry quite a bit of luggage. The minimum ground clearance is also sufficient, and compared to a 488, there are certainly fewer situations where one needs to be careful.

The interior is said to be made of precious white leather with carefully specified blue stitching. The quality of the cockpit area is very high, as is typical of Ferraris, and the car is loaded with a sense of luxury.(This white leather seems to get dirty very easily, and he always has to have a cleaner on hand.)

Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T seats

Since this car is a four-seater, I tried sitting in the back seat as well. My brother, who is 183 cm tall, sits in a comfortable position in the front seat, and I, who am 177 cm tall, sit in the back seat, and this is what it looks like. I'm not sure I could fit a single cobbler in there. Well.Rear seat that can handle an hour-long drive.And it was more comfortable than I had imagined.

Engine is pretty quiet for a Ferrari.The startup when the start button on the steering wheel is pressed is as smooth as a light bark of "Fawn! and it starts smoothly.

I started to run out.The rigidity of the body is great.The solidity of the body at low speeds is felt more strongly than in the Porsche.

The ride quality is reasonably firm.It is. The body is very solid, not to say uncomfortable, but it belies the image of a four-seater coupe. It's totally within the range of city driving, but it's a Ferrari, and it's a Ferrari.It is only a sports car ride.It is better to have you think of it as a "good" car. In terms of Ferrari, in my experience, the ride is similar to that of the California, but it seems to have more grit to it.

Initially, as we say at Porsche.I thought it would be a Panamera-like ride, but it's about two steps firmer than that.The car feels a little firmer than a normal 911 or similar car. It felt a little firmer than a regular 911 or similar, and transmitted the unevenness of the road surface in a colossal way. Incidentally, the tires were Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, so it was not likely due to the tires.

However, it is a new car with a mileage of only a little over 1000 km, so I would like to evaluate the ride quality again after driving a little longer and letting the suspension get used to it.

I am Mina's husband. We don't drive cars for fashion or status symbols. We like cars that are fun to drive, are good industrial products, and have a sense of the maker's intention...

    Siblings are really different.

    I have a younger brother who is also a motorcycle enthusiast.
    Of course I like cars, but I prefer motorcycles to cars.
    I never dislike it either, so that's a good bit of information.
    I think I'm stocking up on the

    It's probably more expensive than a Porsche or a Ferrari.

    The power-to-weight ratio is awesome and such.
    I'm not sure if I'm allowed to drive it on public roads, and I'm not talking about the GT3.
    There is no
    I am very scared and can't open the throttle.

      Mr. Whooper.
      Even siblings are different (laughs).
      But I think it's rare that both siblings like motorcycles and cars.
      I imagined it would be fun to have various conversations with them, even though we have different interests.

      The world of motorcycles seems to be very deep...w

    Dear Mina

    Hello. This is Mamma.
    The heat may be sapping your energy, but please manage to survive until delivery (;^_^A

    Now, the gearshift shock crap...
    Here, the degree of shifting shock in Comfort or Sport, Auto or Manual mode...respectively.
    Could you please enlighten us?

    Porsche's PDK, whether stock, sport or sport plus, and whether auto or manual, is always super smooth, but
    Ferrari's DCT seems to be different.
    I find the contrast very instructive, since "both sides are always easily compared!"

    Thank you very much for your cooperation.

    P.S. I look forward to your comments on F8.

      Thank you for everything!
      It's been really hot... although a little better this morning after the heavy rain we had yesterday.
      Another heatwave will hit... ahhh...
      Nevertheless, thanks to you, I'm doing fine!

      >Now, the gearshift shock crap...
      >The degree of shifting shock in Comfort or Sport, Auto or Manual mode...respectively.
      >Would you please let us know?

      My husband said that if you make it a sport, the shifting shocks are quite large (my husband said he thinks there is some staging involved).
      In particular, he said that when driving in manual mode in sport mode, he would feel a jolt every time he shifted gears.

      So if you're used to something smooth like Porsche's PDK.
      I am a little surprised at the difference.

      So many things vary from car to car ^^;

    Dear Mina

    Good evening. This is Mamma.

    Thank you so much for your valuable info!
    Very helpful!

    If I have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    Please take good care of yourself in the lingering summer heat.
    No need to reply (*'oo')

    Hello!
    This car came to me the other day by chance.

    I have a 992targa4GTS on order, but I've been waiting 2 years and it's not here yet.
    I drove a gtc4Russo as a transfer from a 911(992) just for the duration!

    To be honest, 992 Carrera S is easier to drive than 992 Carrera S....
    But then again, it's a car with a different mindset to begin with, so what the heck!

    But there's a little problem...
    I don't know why I get as seasick as I do when I drive.
    But was it the same for your brother?
    Of course, my wife, who normally does not get drunk, got drunk in the passenger seat.

    Question because I happened to meet the previous owner of my car on the internet.
    I did;

    I would appreciate your kind words.

      Hi Norio, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

      What a surprise that you have taken over my brother's Russo!
      I told my brother and he was very happy ^^.

      I also asked him about carsickness, and he said that he had never had that problem.
      However, he said that the ride is not very comfortable, especially the behavior of the rear steer.
      He said that he sometimes felt uncomfortable because it was a bit clunky and the switching of phases was abrupt depending on the speed range.
      Perhaps it is the behavior of the area that makes you feel 'drunk'? I was wondering if you could feel "intoxicated" by the behavior in that area.
