If the idea of a 651bhp Ferrari you can drive across a ploughed field strikes you as faintly ridiculous, then perhaps a Ferrari you can drive to a ski resort seems less so. “Snow is new for us,” says Franco Cimatti, Ferrari’s technical director. Early testing on a 599 mule packed snow into the transmission coolers in front of the rear wheels, with predictable results. “We have had to change the shape of Ferrari,” he says. For me, the four-wheel drive side, while technically interesting, is less important than the shape. At last Ferrari has officially acknowledged the shooting-break style that it has been unofficially supplying to obscenely rich collectors such as the Sultan of Brunei for many yearsA few years back, the Cartier Style et Luxe at the Goodwood Festival of Speed featured a class of these lovely exotics, ranging from an MG Airline to a Jaguar Lynx Eventer and Pininfarina Ferrari specials.
Ian Minards, Aston Martin’s chief engineer felt that while the style would appeal in Europe it would be less attractive to a worldwide audience. The new FF replaces the controversially styled 612 Scaglietti, so its fantastic looks give it a head start in that respect, although the Citro
it is so fastest car in the world.
