Just come home in thick snow in the FF, what a machine.

The traction it finds in snow is incredible, folks sliding around and I just drove through, incredible.

One of the few cars I would consider moving from my 599 for... especially this time of year... I popped out on Sat as it was nice and sunny / dry, however very cold and had to drive like miss daisy whilst trying to get heat into the tyres... never mind actual snow...

Enjoy.

I have to say your spec is pretty damn perfect! Keep it for 15 years then sell to me please!

Problem is, with 2 kids already if I adipted we wouldn't fit in the FF so kind of self defeating I'm afraid! smile

There is surely no finer 4 seater for the enthusiast than this.

Curious how it is on fuel ? needs filling every 200miles or monster tank ?

It depends. I've killed a tank in less than200 miles and made it last around 300.

Ferrari in their wisdom do not gve you an Mpg readout anywhere in the systems. Just range..

Worst I've managed on a tank is 90 miles....

about 20 laps of Silverstone before refuelling for the afternoon session. Normally get 250 - 280 miles

I love that it doesn't have an MPG readout. It's like 'yeah you really don't want to know mate' hehe

Useful read this ... And congrats on a stunning car Bertie.

Been toying with an FF, GTC, Vanquish or new Cali T recently .... thinking 4 seats (or 2+2) would enable us to use the car more than just 2, so I called in to GrayPaul at the weekend and was very impressed with the FF cabin and rear space, although not driven one yet, black looked stunning, but their Silver one would stay clean for longer (just doesn't look quite so nice IMO).

I also saw the Cali T for the first time (in white/nero) and that also looked very nice and cabin also seems improved over my old Cali as does the front end. Ferrari really do seem to have the interiors right on their latest cars.

Only issue being the stunning F12 lurking in the corner (also in White) which I've not stopped thinking about since ha ha ... Need to drive them to see if they can tempt me, but I fear it could be another Head Vs Heart dilemma coming up !!

Enjoy the car, lovely colour combo.

Yesterday was the first dry day round our way so after dropping my lad and his mate (plus all their kit) at cricket practice, I got a cache to give the right pedal a bit of a tickle.

My god it's got some go about it, but it's so comfortable and usable too.

The way it gets its power down despite the near zero temp is astonishing and very reassuring.
By comparison the 599 with less power would never have managed it, can't help think an F12 might be a bit of a handful too.

Awesome machine.

It's bee out being used every day, rain shine or snow!

But it just seemed reasonable to wait for a dry road before deploying 650bhp!
