Visiting the Museo Dell'automobile in Turin on July 3 2015, I took this video at the Modus Vivendi special exhibition of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti which took part in a 2008 race through India.

From their website:

612 SCAGLIETTI – MAGIC INDIA DISCOVERY (2008)
In 2008 this Ferrari 612 Scaglietti took up the challenge of India's uneven roads and difficult traffic conditions, taking part in a spectacular race: a 13.000 km (8.000 miles) journey through the vast, mysterious and fascinating Indian subcontinent. Starting in
Mumbai (Bombay), the Magic India Discovery tour was composed of 12 stages to be covered in 72 days, the finish line being in Mumbai as well: 50 journalists from all over the world piloted the car in the various stages, passing by 57 cities, among which the former Portuguese colony of Goa; Trivandrum, southernmost Indian town; Bangalore, Indian pole of technology and innovation; Kolkata (Calcutta) – once seat of the East India Company; the
sacred Hindu city of Varanasi on the river Ganges; and Khajuraho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this occasion, the Ferrari Scaglietti performed just as well as it did in every other Ferrari-organised race, suffering no issues, not even in the most difficult high mountain trails.

MODUS VIVENDI (Ways of life) - from May 28th to September 27th 2015.

Modus vivendi is an exhibition of 14 vehicles made famous by the incredible journeys they took part in. Some of them traveled around the entire world during several years, others crossed the continents from north to south, from east to west, in extreme weather conditions, setting time records. Each vehicle has a fascinating story to tell, the story of a journey leading to the discovery of worlds and cultures far away: these adventures will show us different Ways of Life, each told through different countries' habits, colours and fashions. But some other Ways of Life of great interest are those of the men and women who embarked on such journeys, facing such a challenge with courage. They sometimes chose a camera as their only companion, giving up every comfort to satisfy their curiosity.
