Like the prancing horses on their flanks, Ferraris are meant to run free. So imagine the frustration when my allotted test drive coincided with the biggest downpour in 50 years. As the Hunter Valley was filling up last week, I was negotiating traffic and blustery weather in the fastest and most expensive Ferrari in Australia today. Oh, and the car is already sold, so don't bend it. Nervous? What do you reckon.
Fortunately the 599 has four modes of stability control (race, sport, rain and ice), selected via a neat alloy switch on the F1-inspired steering wheel, which also houses a bright red start button and, on this car, a row of LEDs that light up as you approach maximum revs. Nice.
