F TECHNOLOGY
The Ferrari GTC4Lusso T was created to deliver a sportier feel from the turbo V8 and rear-wheel drive coherent with the handling characteristics laid down by the Lusso V12. The lighter overall weight and increased rear weight bias allowed for the adoption of a specific set-up for the 4WS and SCM-E control systems. These ad hoc vehicle dynamic control systems ensure the GTC4Lusso T feels more nimble and has reduced roll. The feeling of longitudinal performance is enhanced at low speeds by Variable Boost Management.
4WS
In press-on driving, the 4WS, or four-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.
SCM-E
The Magnaride SCM-E damper control system represents state-of-the-art control algorithm development, being the same as the V12 Lusso’s. On the GTC4Lusso T, body control is governed by a control model adapted to the new car’s weight distribution and suspension characteristics, optimizing the tyre contact based on the sensitivity to vertical frequencies.
The response time between front and rear axles has been cut by 6.5 per cent while the steering wheel activity is down 2.5 per cent. The 4WS makes it easier for the car to be driven on the limit by making the latter more predictable and easier to control.
The SCM-E is aided by the latest evolution Side Slip Control 3.0 and ESP 9.0.
SSC3
The SSC3, or Side Slip Control 3.0, interacts with all components and vehicle dynamics control systems. It adapts the Lusso T’s behaviour to suit differing dynamic and grip conditions. Through the information received from all the body sensors and the grip estimation, SSC3 delivers a real-time estimate of side slip to all onboard systems, tailoring the car’s behaviour more precisely to the various situations.
F1-Trac and E-Diff
The integration of the F1-Trac and E-Diff electronic differential optimizes traction and torque delivery to the outside and inside rear wheels. This system also makes the car more driveable on medium grip surfaces.
Manettino
The five Manettino positions (Ice, Wet, Comfort, Sport, ESC Off) underscore the potential of the car’s architecture and vehicle dynamics controls, particularly the 4WS and E-Diff. The combined effect is torque that is efficiently split between the two rear wheels, controlling slip on mixed grip surfaces. The 4WS makes turning in, cornering, and exiting corners more effortless, with more predictable yaw angle and an instant reduction in the amount and frequency of steering wheel correction needed.
