Video: Jenson Interceptor FF and Ferrari FF take to the slopes of St. Moritz
Filed under: Europe, Videos, Ferrari The Jensen Interceptor FF and the Ferrari FF share two letters, but the commonality extends far beyond a nameplate. Both cars are exotic GTs, both have rather unusual roof profiles and 2+2 seating, both are pioneers in all-wheel drive... and both would be fantastic for a trip through the Swiss alps. To put that last bit to the test, Classic Driver took the pair up to St....

Filed under: New York Auto Show, Convertible, Coupe, Performance, Geneva Motor Show, BMW What's the new M6 made of? Just like the last generation, it takes all the best bits from the M5 and distills them into two door form. And this time, the convertible comes first.
