I just watched it. I love his reviews - especially the Mille Miglia in his 550 Barchetta.

I wish I could call up Ferrari and have one for 2 weeks.

 

He was supposed to buy one but backed out at the last minute.

 

Great vid and great car for all seasons. What color is that red? Rosso Maranello?

 

Looks like Rubino Micalizzato.

 

I think Rubino Micalizzato is deeper than the color on this FF. I would guess it is Rosso Maranello as well

 

Great review! So much fun to see it out in the fields and on ice, too. Color looks to be Rubino Maranello. Definitely not Micalizzato. We considered Maranello when speccing our car and saw it in person and loved it, but Micalizzato won our hearts years ago on a 612, so that's what we chose in the end. Its quite a bit darker.

And how many times did he mention "660 Horsepower?" I think he was taken with the car.

But isn't that a white FF in his barn? Loved the collection of cars in those shots.

 

Looks like an Alfi MiTo to me.



What an incredible car the FF is, I want one badly.

 

I think it would be very difficult for anybody to NOT fall for the charms of the FF especially if it was given to use everyday for a couple of weeks.

That is a white Alfa Mito in his barn.

 

so what is the true about commercial sucess of Ferrari FF? I remember when after introduction at Geneva show, someone claims that Ferrari have orders for next two years, but now I heard that dealers have problem to sell this car.
Maybe someone know how much value this car lost in first year of use?

 

Ahh. Got it. Wasn't looking really carefully (too many interesting cars in that scene). I want one of those, too. Wish I could get one to the US legally...

 

I've had my FF in the soft wet grass at the radio control model airplane field, never thought twice about it, and again in the snowy grass there too. The car is really addicting! Salt on the roads today, LOTS of salt so I am running mine in the wet mode to anticipate traction problems and snow mode on our street which has ... snow.

There was a thread response sometime earlier in some other thread about what Ferrari's V12 maximum engine production rate was, anyone know what that was?

I'm glad you enjoy both of your cars!

 

Rick does it right!!

 

There's a post somewhere on here on volume of sales.....you'll be surprised how successful it is. Numbers were formally released as part of Fiat Q3 financials.

This is exactly how I use my FF.....as an every day car. As he says, it really does do everything it says on the tin.

 

I love these Evo Diaries reviews!

And this one was great too!

 

This was a great review as most of his usually are.

You owners are def. lucky with a sound like that!!! I had to replay several parts over and over again while watching.

 

Complaining about ride height while you herd sheep with a 400k Ferrari. One percent-er problems.

 

I wasn't aware the MiTo wasn't available in the states. So I googled it and came across this (see link).

It sounds like they are going to do a facelift but have applied for US patent and trademark on MiTo name, which suggests they plan on selling there. Good luck.

Alfa Romeo MiTo going to the USA? | AutoEdizione.com

Sorry if it sidetracks the thread but others may be interested too


Also just found this with interesting Alfa news. http://www.topspeed.com/cars/alfa-romeo-mito/ke3111.html

Then 3 or 4 articles down is this regarding Alfa's US invasion. http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/alfa-romeo-gearing-up-for-us-invasion-at-the-2013-naias-ar111694.html

 

Maybe someday you'll contribute as much as the average 1%-er does, earning yourself similar "problems"?

 

What a great report. He's absolutely correct that this is the Ferrari you can drive after the summer when most F cars are stuck in their garages. Why not have the Ferrari experience every day?

 

Great video, just reinforces my opinion on the FF, its as an aswesome all round car it has no equal in that role. I'd love to own one oneday!

 

Am I the only one that found it really boring? Also, we do not all live in farms and use Ferraris instead of Fergussons...

 

Well said.
