Engine and Performance9.9/10
Engine and Transmission
With a 3.9L V8 engine at its disposal, 2018 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T delivers a powerful performance. Total power and torque available to the coupe are 602 hp and 561 lb.-ft., respectively. For gear shifting, the coupe relies on a 7-speed automatic transmission mode. The engine delivers power instantly and just a little flex of your right foot is enough to shoot you ahead.
Ferrari has done a great job in making this engine sound like a naturally aspirated one above 5000 rpm all the way to 8000 rpm redline. Below 5000 rpm the engine is very refined and you wouldn't actually hear it much. However, the sound and the rush is just a tap away. The 7-speed gearbox is an absolute breeze and the shifts are instantaneous as you'd expect.

Interior9.9/10
Seating and Comfort
The interiors of the GTC4 Lusso has been designed tastefully and it's a very special place to be in. The cabin is crafted with hides of leather and carbon fibre trim and an 8.8-inch touchscreen takes center place on the dashboard. The AC vents look like thrusters from a jet engine and aesthetically eat up the upper corners of the infotainment screen, An analog tachometer sits between two digital screens in the instrument cluster. The steering wheel is typically Ferrari with all necessary controls on the wheel itself.
Ferrari has also pampered the passenger by providing an individual screen for the passenger for various vehicle and entertainment information. And guess what, this is a genuine four seater. Of course its a task getting past the front row of seats but once you are in there you'd genuinely appreciate the comfort you are treated with. The seats themselves are very well countoured and hold you very comfortably.

Exterior8.0/10
The design of the GTC4 Lusso has divided opinions. Its not the most proportionate for a sports coupe and the car looks rather bland. The front has a very simple bumper and the air intakes in the bumper along with the signature Ferrari headlamps look as if the car is uncannily smiling at you. The side profile too is not the greatest with a long bonnet and a very short rear overhang. It has some relief from the air slits on the front fender.
It is at the rear of the car where it really starts to look like a serious machine with a large diffuser, quad exhausts and muscular rear haunches. Honestly, for such a sporty car, we would have liked some more visual drama.

Final Verdict8.1/10
2018 Ferraro GTC4 Lusso T Coupe is for sure an intriguing ride to get your hands on. Just like other traditional Ferraries, this one features a hefty price tag. The lighter front end helps in improving the weight distribution by bringing the front/rear weight distribution ratio to 46/54. Although the carb does not look the best, it certainly has a sumptuous interior to match its class.
2018 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T no longer provides front-wheel drive assistance. Moreover, there is now less mass to steer with the adjusted lighter steering. All in all, driving the latest make of GTC4 Lusso T Coupe is a pleasure that any car lover would cherish. The ride can be deduced as a dynamic and defiant drive.
