Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

|
A genuine four-seater Ferrari, the all-aluminum 612 Scaglietti is an avant-garde design that guarantees the thoroughbred performance Ferraristi demand, combined with uncompromising driver and passenger comfort.
The new 2+2 model signals a genuine break with the past. Ferrari has changed the rules of the game with the 612 Scaglietti to suit the tastes and needs of a highly sophisticated clientele that now requires elegance and comfort as well as blistering performance. The 612 Scaglietti is very much a third-millennium product, offering a new generation of technologies compared to the 456M.
Grand Tourers are a real Ferrari tradition: Prancing Horse built its first 12-cylinder 2+2 in 1948 (the 166 Inter, body by Touring), and added other famous models clothed by celebrated names such as Ghia, Pininfarina, and Vignale. These included the 212 Inter (1951), the 250 GT (1960), the 330 GT (1964), and the 365 GT (1967), which for the first time boasted an automatic gearbox on some of the examples built for the American market, right up until the 456M of the 1990s.
Luca di Montezemolo named the new model—skillfully designed by Pininfarina to enwrap the technical and functional solutions in an aggressive yet elegant body—in honor of Sergio Scaglietti, the Modenese stylist and coach-builder who excelled in sculpting aluminum. The “6” of the 612 indicates the car’s displacement (5,748cc, rounded up); “12” is the number of cylinders.
The concept that inspired the new design (internally known as the F 137) sums up Ferrari’s talent for innovation: marrying a cabin capable of accommodating four occupants in comfort with the body of a thrillingly nimble, sporty, front-engined, rear-wheel drive Berlinetta, offering unprecedented onboard comfort and specification.
The 612 Scaglietti combines thrilling performance, agility and safety—and goes a step further, offering rear passengers two comfortable, roomy seats. This is a car with all the fiery temperament and driving pleasure of a thoroughbred Ferrari.
