Ferrari FF review

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
