Description

The Ferrari FF was unlike anything Ferrari had ever built when it arrived in 2011. A four seat grand tourer with four wheel drive and a naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 651 horsepower. It redefined what a Ferrari could be and it opened the door to a new kind of ownership experience. You could drive it every day. You could take it on long trips. You could use it in all weather conditions. And through all of that the V12 engine delivered a performance and a soundtrack that reminded you at every moment that this was still a Ferrari at its core.

That V12 engine generates serious heat and it deserves a cooling system that is built to match its demands. The factory radiator does not meet that standard. It carries a design flaw that will cause it to fail over time and the consequences for your engine can be significant. Our all aluminum Ferrari FF radiator upgrade is the permanent and definitive solution to this problem. We built this radiator specifically for the FF and its shared platform with the GTC4Lusso to give owners the confidence that their cooling system will never be a liability in an otherwise exceptional machine.

The OEM radiator in the Ferrari FF uses plastic end tanks that are bonded and crimped onto an aluminum core. This is a mass production compromise that prioritizes manufacturing cost over long term durability. The naturally aspirated V12 in the FF is a high revving and heat intensive engine and every drive puts the cooling system through extreme thermal cycles. Over time those cycles cause the plastic end tanks to become brittle and the adhesive bond between the plastic and the aluminum to degrade and eventually fail.

When the bond fails coolant escapes and the engine begins to overheat. This is not a rare failure. It is a predictable outcome that is built into the factory part from the day it is made. The hose necks on the OEM unit are also bonded on which creates additional weak points in the system. A coolant leak in a vehicle as complex and capable as the Ferrari FF can cause serious engine damage and the repair costs can be far greater than the cost of a proper upgrade. Our Ferrari FF radiator upgrade addresses every one of these failure points by eliminating plastic from the construction entirely and replacing it with a fully welded aluminum structure that will never fail the same way.

Our Ferrari FF radiator upgrade is constructed entirely from high quality aluminum. There is no plastic anywhere in the design. Every end tank every fitting and every joint is TIG welded by master craftsmen using tools and equipment that are dedicated exclusively to aluminum fabrication. This prevents cross contamination from steel or other metals and ensures that every weld is clean strong and completely free of porosity. The result is a monolithic aluminum structure that is impervious to the heat cycles and vibrations that destroy the OEM unit over time.

The all aluminum construction also delivers a genuine weight advantage. Our radiator weighs approximately 10 ounces less than the factory plastic and aluminum unit which comes in at 14 pounds and 14 ounces. That weight saving is achieved by eliminating the heavy adhesive seams and the inefficient bonded plastic structure. The inlet and outlet fittings are also a significant improvement over the factory design. Instead of bonded on hose necks our radiator uses beveled and welded fittings that match the pipe flow geometry precisely. This provides a smoother and more refined coolant flow transition and eliminates another potential leak point from the system. Your V12 stays at its optimal operating temperature under all driving conditions and the cooling system works in harmony with the engine rather than against it.

Every Ferrari FF radiator upgrade we produce is made in the USA at our Los Angeles facility. We use tools and equipment that are dedicated exclusively to aluminum work. This is a non negotiable standard in our manufacturing process. Cross contamination from steel or other metals can compromise the structural integrity of an aluminum weld and we will not allow that risk in anything we build. Our welders are master level craftsmen who produce welds that are as visually impressive as they are structurally sound. This level of quality is a direct response to the failures we have seen in lower cost aftermarket alternatives.

Competing aftermarket radiators frequently suffer from porous welds and incorrect thread pitch and improper shroud bolt sizing. Some require modification just to fit the vehicle which is completely unacceptable for a precision machine like the Ferrari FF. Our radiator is engineered to fit correctly from the start with no compromises and no modifications required.

We offer two finish options to suit your preferences. The first is a Bare aluminum finish which gives the radiator a classic raw metal appearance that develops a natural patina over time adding character to the engine bay. The second is a premium black painted finish that resists discoloration and maintains a clean and consistent appearance through the grille and inside the engine bay. Both options are built to last and both reflect the level of craftsmanship that goes into every unit we produce. When you invest in our Ferrari FF radiator upgrade you are getting a product that performs at the highest level and looks exceptional in the engine bay of one of Ferrari’s most unique and capable grand tourers.

We designed our Ferrari FF radiator upgrade to install without any modification to the vehicle. All fittings and mounting points are positioned to match the factory layout exactly. The radiator retains the factory fan shroud so there is no need for an expensive and complicated aftermarket fan conversion. This is a critical advantage over competing products that require incorrect M6 threads where the factory specifies M5 forcing owners to drill new holes and modify hardware just to complete the installation.

Our radiator uses the correct M5 factory thread pitch throughout. It drops in cleanly with no drilling and no modifications and no interference with AC lines or any other components. We include all the necessary mounting hardware with every unit including new rubber bushings for the radiator mounts and the engine oil cooler mounting. Once this radiator is installed it will not need to come out again for decades. We back every unit with an industry leading 5 year warranty because we are fully confident in what we build and we want every FF owner to share that confidence.

The Ferrari FF is a vehicle that rewards long term ownership. Its combination of V12 performance and everyday usability makes it one of the most practical Ferraris ever built and serious collectors are beginning to recognize its significance. As a visible and permanent upgrade in the engine bay our radiator also adds long term value to the vehicle. Future owners will recognize the quality of the upgrade and the fact that a known failure point has been permanently resolved. From the correct M5 thread pitch to the complete hardware kit every detail of this radiator has been engineered to provide a seamless and permanent solution to the OEM radiator and its inherent flaws. This is the last radiator your Ferrari FF will ever need.
