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. |
