Watch a Ferrari Testarossa slide dangerously on snow-covered streets

Woyshnis Media has posted an intriguing new video on YouTube featuring a Ferrari Testarossa being drifted rather unceremoniously, if skillfully, on urban snow and ice.

Woyshnis Media has posted an intriguing new video on YouTube featuring a Ferrari Testarossa being drifted rather unceremoniously, if skillfully, on urban snow and ice.

Judging by the exterior of the iconic coupe, it was a base spec that shipped in the United States with a 4.9-liter V12 under the hood giving it 380 PS (375 hp / 279 kW).

Some frames suggest that the supercar wore its summer rubber to the streets – probably to make sliding easier for some extra eye-candy. Still, as skilled as the driver obviously was, they lost control on one occasion and drove into the opposing lane.

That said, the whole video is stylized as an arthouse chase scene from an action movie, so one would expect the Testarossa driver to drive irresponsibly – although we do not know if the stunt was authorized. In the end of the footage, the supercar cooked up quite a few hot rubber donuts, too.
