Ferrari doesn’t want to tell us too much about their new four-wheel drive model, the FF, before its big day in Geneva. This is probably why the Italian carmaker has chosen to release just a few images of the car in action on the snow.

“Due to the outstanding interest created by the new FF and the numerous requests to see the car in movement, Ferrari is pleased to issue some additional photographs of the new four-seater in action on snow,” stated the official press release.

The five images show an advanced prototype and a final model undergoing winter testing, probably in frosty Scandinavia.

We already know that the new Prancing Horse will replace Ferrari's 612 Scaglietti flagship. Powering all four of its wheels is a naturally-aspirated 6.3-liter V12 direct injection engine, offering around 650 hp (at 8000 rpm) and 504 lb-ft (670 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to push the car from 0 to 62 miles per hour (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 208 mph (334 km/h).

The FF also features the company's first ever four-wheel drive system, about which Ferrari says it weighs 50% less than a conventional unit from other manufacturer, while also maintaining a rear-biased weight distribution of 53 percent over the rear axle.

The 4RM promises to be integrated with the car's electronic dynamic control systems, delivering performance in difficult conditions by redirecting torque distribution to all four wheels.

The shooting brake Ferrari comes with the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), as well as the most recent version of carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
