Rent an SUV Ferrari Purosangue<\/a>, ship it to South America, and set out to conquer the Pan-American Highway all the way to the far reaches of Alaska. That\u2019s the completely crazy challenge taken on by a German. Accidents, rutted roads, brake failure, and stretches at nearly 5,000 meters above sea level: his Ferrari<\/a> At nearly 500,000 euros, it has seen more than some adventurers. And the adventure has now surpassed 51,000 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Ferrari Purosangue isn\u2019t exactly an ordinary car to begin with. But MJ\u2019s is even less so. This German from Dortmund decided to put Maranello\u2019s V12 to use in a way that few owners would even dare to imagine: driving it across the Americas. His goal? To travel from Ushuaia, in the far south of Argentina, to Deadhorse, in the far north of Alaska. He undertook this journey largely with Rico, his dog, riding along as his co-pilot. According to his posts, the adventure covered 51,760 km and spanned 17 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story begins after the Purosangue was shipped from Europe to Montevideo, Uruguay. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru\u2026 MJ doesn\u2019t specifically choose roads where you\u2019d expect to see a Ferrari. In particular, he claims to be the first person to have driven a Ferrari on Bolivia\u2019s famous \u00abDeath Road.\u00bb His Purosangue has also climbed to an altitude of 4,950 meters. Up there, between the lack of oxygen and poor-quality local fuel, the naturally aspirated V12 began to struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
