The Ferrari FF is the first car available with Apple’s CarPlay technology
Apple’s CarPlay technology has finally arrived on a commercially available vehicle, the Ferrari FF, which starts at a mere $300,000.
The company announced today that the first FF has been sent to an Italian buyer and that other models will soon arrive in Europe, Japan, and the United States.

For that amount, you will be getting one amazing vehicle. The FF features a V12 engine with 651 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Its top speed is 208 mph, and Ferrari says the car is the world’s fastest four-seat vehicle.
Apple officially unveiled CarPlay in 2013, and it arrived in March with the iOS 7.1 update. A number of carmakers, including Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo, have announced models with CarPlay.
Both Alpine and Pioneer have also announced aftermarket CarPlay systems in the works.
I wish I could test drive an FF with CarPlay, but I think I’d spend too much time trying to hit that top speed. I’m looking forward to seeing the technology in a car I could actually afford.
CarPlay relies heavily on Siri integration. Drivers can quickly and easily access Maps, make calls, send a message, and more. It’s compatible with the iPhone 5s/5, iPhone 5c, and all forthcoming iPhone models.
