After covering 20,000 miles across South America, up through the US to Canada and then down to New York, the 599 duo finally switched off their engines in Manhattan's Central Park. A large crowd had gathered to welcome the cars and their crews.

The two Ferraris completed the gruelling 20,000-mile trip without any mechanical hiccoughs. The tour started on 24 August in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It has since passed through 16 countries and taken 84 days to reach the finish in New York, with the tour divided into 15 stages.

This is not the first time Ferrari has taken on long-distance challenges with its sports cars. In 1997, an F355 drove around the world in 75 days to promote the car's reliability. Last year, Ferrari took two standard 612 Scagliettis on a 15,000-mile tour of China, taking 45 days to do so.

This year's Panamerican 20,000 has seen the cars driven over the Andes mountains, alongside the world's highest lake at Lake Titicaca, and through the heat of Monument Valley in Arizona.
