A few weeks back we brought you the video of current Scuderia Ferrari drivers, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, having a 'race' down the Madonna di Campiglio alpine skiing course in Italy in a pair of Ferrari FFs. Designed to showcase the FF's 4RM four-wheel drive system all it really did was show up the rather contrived marketing film for what it was as the two drivers crossed the line in an utterly predictable dead heat.
The follow up is much more to our liking.
Filmed just south of the Arctic Circle at Sweden's Arieplog 'Forest' track the video features former World Rally Champion and current Ferrari test driver, Markku Alen, drifting around the snow covered track in the 660hp V12-powered car. With temperatures dropping as low as -30 degrees Celsius the 14km track was seen as the ideal testing ground for the FF's four-wheel drive system and it seemingly went well as Markku commented that the FF is especially enjoyable to drive, even for a former World Champion.
