Ferrari seem to be keeping mum about it, which makes me think it's NOT Trail Rated.
Jon- Depends on whether you buy the F&R lift kits (for real) and what kind of tires you install. Taz Terry Phillips
In another thread, I suggested a "Rocky Mountain" edition which includes: 1. low range transfer case 2. 18 inch lift kit 3. camouflage paint 4. brush guard on front 5. spare fuel can on back with giant embossed prancing horse 6. 22 inch wheels with giant "mudder" tires 7. gun rack 8. special edition Beretta or Perazzi guns 9. running boards 10. winch on front Did I forget anything? Dave
If it is all wheel drive, it must have a front differential. All that needs to be done is install a 2 speed transfer case between the tranny and the two drive shafts. Dave
It is a 4WD system but there is no front differential and only one driveshaft, there is a set of wet clutches that take power directly from the crank. There is thread explaining it and videos around in here as well. It's pretty awesome stuff. edit: here is a video of the system [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daWvBXMEO6Y[/ame]
Fascinating stuff but I'm sure there is a way (perhaps for an extra 50K) to get a 2 speed transfer in the driveline somewhere. Dave
Dave- Not unless your want the front and rear wheels running at different speeds. No front drive to rear drive shaft, just the normal torque tube. Of course, Maserati is getting ready to field an SUV rumored to have some Jeep underpinnings, so who really knows since Fiat owns both? 1st is already virtually a granny gear in most late Ferraris. Taz Terry Phillips
I'm sure for 50K, they could replace it all with a Jeep underpinning. I know the vast majority of AWDs and 4WDs never go off road but if I can't crawl rocks in it, I ain't interested! Dave
There is an option to be able to raise the car I think about 1.6" under 20mph to get through deeper snow i believe.
