Introduced at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, the GTC4Lusso T made history as the first four-seat Ferrari powered by a turbocharged V8 engine. While rivals like the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe offer competent touring pace, the Ferrari delivers an infinitely more dramatic Italian grand touring experience. Buyers exploring Ferrari GTC4Lusso maintenance often gravitate towards the 'T' for its simplified rear-wheel-drive layout, yet maintaining its high-output turbo powertrain requires rigorous standards.
Propulsion comes from the 3.9-litre F154 BD twin-turbo V8 producing 610 hp and 760 Nm of torque, linked to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel steering. By dispensing with the V12's front PTU all-wheel-drive system, the Lusso T sheds weight over the front axle, yielding sharper turn-in and improved fuel range. However, the twin turbochargers, intercoolers and rear steering electronics introduce their own specific inspection requirements.
