F40 On Snow Chains

It seems that Red Bull Japan is shooting a short film of a Ferrari F40 in the snow, complete with chains! Not sure I've ever seen that done before. I think this beats the F40 camping...

Speechless!

 

And this picture illustrates why 308s and F40s overheat in the snow.

 

so much for using the right tool for the job...

 

Another F40 snow video...

Here is the vid...

rally lights really suit an F40

 

Well, it was originally conceived as a group B rally car...

 

There use to be a guy in Columbus Ohio with an F50. He would put snow tires and chains on it in the winter and drive around in the Ohio snow storms.

Said he liked to go out on the highway in the middle of a really bad storm as he would be only one on road and would blast around like a rally driver!

As F Scott Fitzgerald said "The rich are different from you and I".

 

Looks very high on its springs.

 

Camping F40 and Snow F40 is the same person. The owner enjoys all of his cars.

 

Only in Japan. Great vid with excellent style and editing.

 

This is also what I used to believe, until I learned the GTO Evoluzione was actually meant to participate to the group B CIRCUIT championship, which never happened. When you think of it, that car could not have been made for dirt roads, it's definitely a circuit car.

 

The 959 was also meant for group B circuit racing rather than rallying.

Porsche however pumped it up somewhat and later competed in the Paris Dakar rally with the car.

I don't think the 288 or F40 would look as good though high up in the air on huge mudpluggers! so luckily Ferrari did not go down that route.

 

Saw the video linked from Petrolicious on Facebook...

I just love seeing the driver place the can inside the car as he runs his checklist. I loved the video.

The idea of a F40 high up in the air on huge mudpluggers, in my view, is as crazy as an F40 converted to a monster truck with huge off-road tires, or a F40 made as a transformer (from the 1980s TV series) !!! Both are my childhood dreams when I was 8 years old !!! LOL

Question : Don't tire chains actually hit the inside of the fenders when they spin fast ?? I thought that tire chains works only up to 60 km/h and very often caused damage to the fenders... If the F40 was not wearing chains, but rather had tires with spikes, I think there would be no damage...

 

Good for the owner, enjoy it as it was meant to be driven to the fullest.

 

They did the same event last year, but with studded snow tires. Not sure what justifies the switch to chains this year around though.

 

That's awesome! I love it.

 

Wow this was amazing!

I just want to know one thing; who drinks a Red Bull before going to bed?
