2008 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
by Pankaj Dev on Monday, 22 September 2008

A genuine four-seater Ferrari, the all-aluminium 612 Scaglietti is the result of an avant-garde design that guarantees the pure, thoroughbred performance demanded by the tifosi combined with uncompromising driver and passenger comfort.

Now in production for the last couple of years, the Scaglietti is definitely Ferrari’s flagship model for the well-heeled cognoscenti incorporating the latest technologies. The 6 of the 612 indicates the car’s displacement (5,748cc rounded off), while 12 is the number of cylinders boasted by the engine.

The design choice to influence the 612 Scaglietti’s styling was its architecture. A mid-front layout with the engine mounted behind the front axle, and the gearbox and differential in unit at the rear ensure that the centre of gravity is kept as far back and as low as possible.

The 612 Scaglietti offers the kind of dynamic performance (0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.2 seconds), stability and nimble manoeuvrability generally only found in a mid-rear engined car, and still has exceptional amount of space for its passengers and their luggage.

As is traditional at the Prancing Horse, the new car also benefits from the most advanced Ferrari engine and transmission technologies as well as highly sophisticated aerodynamic research. The 65-degree V12, which displaces almost six litres, generates a blistering 540hp at 7250 rpm. The result is a car that is easy to handle in all kinds of conditions and hit speeds of over 320 km/h at full throttle. A six-speed track-derived gearbox with paddle shifts on the steering wheel is employed.

In effect, the Scaglietti is one of the most beautiful modern Ferraris. It has the soul of a sporty berlinetta along with the dimensions and design of a luxurious, surprisingly roomy Grand Tourer, all clad in a sensuous form.
