We had the chance to take part in Ferrari’s Esperienza on Ice in New Zealand, and it was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. Set high in the Southern Alps near Queenstown at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds, the scenery alone was breathtaking—snow-capped peaks, crisp alpine air, and endless white stretching around us.
Behind the wheel of Ferrari’s latest V12, the 12Cilindri, we spent the day pushing the car across ice and snow—sliding through slaloms, drifting into figure-eights, and learning how to balance raw power with delicate control. With the grip stripped away, every input mattered, making it both thrilling and humbling.
What really stood out was how much we learned. The programme isn’t just about racing; it’s about building skill and confidence—managing oversteer, staying smooth, and truly understanding what a supercar is capable of when conditions are at their toughest. Between the exhilarating driving sessions and the luxury hospitality, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Experiences like this make us even prouder of the work we do at McIntosh Auto Farm. Caring for a Ferrari isn’t just about performance—it’s about precision, reliability, and longevity. That’s why expert Ferrari servicing and maintenance in Sydney is so important, ensuring every car we work on stays in peak condition and ready for any challenge.
