05.02.2012 ITALIASPEEDTV: MARKKU ALÉN DRIVES THE FERRARI FF IN SWEDEN

Former Fiat and Lancia World Rally Championship star driver Markku Alén has got behind the wheel of an FF for a challenge on a forest track completely covered in snow. This exceptional event took place on a track at Arjeplog in Northern Sweden, about 100 km South of the Arctic Circle. The track is probably the most challenging surface for Ferrari’s latest 12-cylinder which features a four-wheel drive system was highly praised by Markku, the Finnish ice track specialist. At temperatures between -15° and -30° Celsius on the steep inclines and challenging corners of the 14km "Forest" track, Alén was able to test the FF to extremes, particularly the car’s traction on surfaces with extremely low grip. Thanks to the weight distribution and the car’s mechanical set up, the FF again demonstrated its safety, stability and performance, with Alén commenting that the FF is especially enjoyable to drive.
