Ice, Ice Baby: Ferrari Offers Winter Driving Course in Aspen for the Low Price of $11,399

Some things just don’t make sense, no matter how vivid your imagination is. Envision Land Rover racing at Le Mans, or Maserati manufacturing an SUV. Doesn’t it sound absurd? Actually, scratch the last example about Maserati: it will actually happen.

Well, up until recently, you wouldn’t imagine a four-wheel drive Ferrari either. Thankfully, despite sporting the 4RM AWD system, the FF remains a pure sports car. Now, Ferrari wants to show its versatility to its American customers, so it’s adapting its “Pilota on Ice” driving program for the US.

From January 2012, Ferrari owners and their guests (strictly – no interlopers allowed) will get the chance to experience a two-day driving course in Aspen, Colorado. Eight specially prepared examples of the new Ferrari FF will be waiting to show both students and their guests the dynamic abilities of Maranello’s newest V12 GT on even the most treacherous conditions.

Just make sure you already own a Ferrari and have US$11,399 to spend. Ferrari will accommodate participants at the Nell Resort in Aspen where they will enjoy, apart from the two day driving program, champagne receptions and two group lunches at the track. And oh, there’s also a photo package and event memorabilia.

Guests get to pay much less, only US$950, but they won’t be driving the FF and will instead be taken for a ride by a professional driver.

So if you’re interested just pick up your Vertu [sic] and call Ferrari Concierge at 865-551-2828 to sign up for the program.
