The Ferrari FF is unlike any vehicle ever to come from the Maranello, Italy-based supercar builder so it is fitting that the company would issue a video showing this unique high performance car doing things that no other Ferrari could, including dashing through the deep snow of the mountains and ripping along a rough desert road – showing that the FF is possibly the most capable supercar ever built. 
When Ferrari unveiled the new FF, the supercar world was set back on its heels. Never before had the Italian sports car designer offered up a vehicle with the unique shooting brake design, let alone a 2-door with room for 4 people. Add into the equation the high tech all wheel drive system mated to a 600 horsepower V12 via an advanced dual clutch automatic transmission controlled via the paddle shifters on the steering wheel and you have yourself a Ferrari that can take four people on an incredible ride. However, with this new video of the Ferrari FF in action, the company wants to show that the new FF can tackle similar situations to many modern sport utility vehicles while also being able to rip from 0-62 in just 3.7 seconds on dry land.
