Ferraris set Pan-American test

Taking a long drive across the US in a Ferrari sounds like the perfect trip to us, but how does the thought of tackling 20,000 miles from Belo Horizonte in South America to New York grab you?

Spread out over 15 stages, the Panamerican 20,000 will take 84 days and pass through 16 countries.

The chosen steeds for this Ferrari road trip are a pair of 599 GTBs. Each has been decked out in unique paint schemes, while thick underbody protective plates have been fitted to cope with the rough roads.

The suspension of both cars has been set higher to help them pass over rock-strewn tracks, but otherwise the cars are standard.

The Panamerican 20,000 kicks off on August 24.
