Autocar’s Steve Sutcliffe took a Ferrari FF to a skidpad to answer the question that is on the minds and lips of enthusiasts all over the globe: will this big, fat Ferrari drift? On paper it shouldn’t be good at it. The FF is a heavy estate car, and it has four-wheel-drive. But as Steve proves in this video, that 620 horsepower V12 is more than make up for all of FF’s drawbacks.

So yes, it can drift. But it doesn’t seem to enjoy it.

And what’s the point of drifting a shooting brake car anyway? You’re just gonna make your children sick and make a mess of the boot.
