I - in courage, rush up the serpentine road Manettino - for Sport. In front of me a cool flourish, just to start the third or late second gear. We add sound - including the second! Lean on carbon brakes, four, three, two, gears are switched instantly and flawlessly switching hear rather than feel. That's turn. Short flick of the wrist is enough to drive a high gear ratio has sent his nose to the new arc, without any demolition, almost without a hint of inertia or roll. After that I press on the gas. Pulse rate soars to feverish, V12 gaining a deep breath - he is happy to release any chance of 660 horses on the road. Facilitates the steering wheel a little, feed a little squat and shifts, it seems, a few millimeters to the outside of the arc. FF will catapult us forward, huge muscle car and gipermoschnaya electronics merge with my weak flesh and nerves in an unearthly creature ...

FF was a risky move, a challenge to the very essence of Ferrari ... And yet that's what it is surprisingly versatile and vivacious vehicle. He argues that the future - is not necessarily a giant SUV. FF full of spirit cavallino rampante, except that the saddlebags it more Behold the combination and made it to our Universal of the Year. And if Ferrari will need to sell a million umbrellas to fund the development of the FF and other similar machines, let the rain always goes. I'm not a killjoy. I will gladly buy anything in the Ferrari Store.
