It's a rubbish ski car - there is no way to fit a ski rack to this, or an FF.
Just what I was thinking. I do wonder how many people saying this have been skiing. They generally have good roads, that are cleared of snow regularly and well maintained. Much better than most UK roads in winter (because they get it for 6 months every year, not one in a blue moon) What you need is something that will carry skis on the roof and swallow ski boots and clothes with ease.You could always use some of those nasty magnetic ones like you get in hire cars at Geneva airport....but that would mean foregoing the must have panoramic roof! Although then maybe you could bodge something using those clamps they use to move large sheets of glass on building sites !
Am I the only one thinking that this could be a gem of a Ferrari?. It's lighter than the V12, not corrupted by 4WD, virtually same power output and once DMS gets hold of it it'll do over 720bhp comfortably. Oh and it'll be cheaper than the V12 to buy and run - ok so running costs not a huge consideration if you can afford to buy in the first place, but come on would you really use this as your ski vehicle over a nice SUV which you'll have in your garage too?. Think not.
Remember 4 seater V12 Fcars suffer painful depreciation too, 365 Daytona excepted, so this could buck the trend.

I may be wrong but I think the Daytona is actually a 2-seater.samoht said:

Would this be the first Ferrari which has engines of differing cylinder counts? Those 208's were V8's.
I think so, yes. Evo agree - http://www.evo.co.uk/ferrari/18306/ferraris-firsts...evo said:
The GTC4Lusso also becomes one of very few Ferraris (the 365BB and 512BB, and 208 and 308 were others) that has offered two different power units in the same body style - and then, the first to include two configurations (V8 and V12) in the same body.
I have a feeling some racing cars got re-engined between V8, V12 and inline four engines at some point, but unsure if they were really the 'same' chassis.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
