Ferrari has successfully completed the fourth leg of its epic 25,000 km drive around China in two Ferrari 612 Scaglietti supercars, with the crossing of the deserts and then climbing more than 5000 metres to enter Tibet and its capital, Lhasa.

As the V12 powered Ferrari 612s climbed to the top of the world, passing the birth place of Confucius and the great Wall of China, their only competition on the traffic-free roads were the occasional herds of yaks and their nomadic owners. From the highest part of the world, the Ferraris, which have performed faultlessly, will now head for the remotest part of the world, the Gobi desert.

This remarkable journey is designed to prove the total all-round ability of the four seat Ferrari supercar, that it can top 300 km/h on a German autobahn and cross the deserts and mountains of China, while delivering the comfort, performance and style for which Ferrari is justifiably a legend in its own right.
