1978 World Rally Champion, Markku Alen behind the wheel of the FF on the Arjeplog track in the North of Sweden.

That looks like a tremendous amount of fun.

Never thought I'd say this

Ya' know, I'm am getting completely warmed up to the FF's possibilities and looks, especially for Skiing etc.

That looks practical.

Mike- Great video. Amazing how good modern snow tires are. Wonder how many times they had to pull him out of a snow bank?

That's a good preliminary lesson as I'm going to race on a ice track next week

But not with such a great car

and far from having this level of experience

Very cool video - the Neiman Marcus FF included a trip to Aspen and test drives in the snow and ice.

I guess if a guy tracks his cars it is no different other than the to quote George from the jungle ... Watch out for them trees!

Looked like there was too much power making it challenging to drive it quickly in the snow. Regardless of that, looked like huge fun. Bet it would sound awesome in a tunnel.

I think I made a mistake, I said that a Ferrari had too much power.

My bad.
