A lot of people still can’t make sense of the Ferrari FF. Why would you need a Ferrari to do the job of a utility vehicle? That is a good point, but we can’t help but admire the FF’s technology every time we see it out there in the snow. It is just a plain awesome sight seeing a Ferrari all muddy and dirty.

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago goes to Colorado in search of some snow to drive the Ferrari FF on. The FF must be the only Ferrari that looks better in sober colors like silver than it does in red and yellow:
