Named after famous Ferrari coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti, the 4.9-metre long, all-aluminum 612 Scaglietti is a blend for the perfect combination of performance and comfort in the best traditions of a true Ferrari Berlinetta designed to accommodate four people in high-speed luxury and safety.

The most important objective for the new 2+2 612 Scaglietti project was to ensure the car would have the handling and road-holding normally expected of Ferrari's more sporty models. To achieve this the body has been built entirely of aluminium, which provides extremely high structural rigidity while significantly reducing weight. Compared with the 456M, the 612 Scaglietti weighs 60 kg less and the rigidity/weight ratio is 60% higher.

The V12 is positioned as far back as possible in the engine compartment to optimise weight distribution. For the first time the TSC - Traction and Stability Control - makes its appearance on a Ferrari, a unit that governs all the car's safety systems (ABS, ASR and EBD) and Skyhook dampers to ensure maximum control. But a Ferrari always puts the driver first and so it's also possible to disengage the TSC and enjoy an exciting session on the circuit.

The design of the 612 Scaglietti fully expresses the model's new values. In fact, Ferrari made a conceptual choice with Pininfarina to ensure that the four-seater would be a genuine departure from previous Grand Tourer models. It also made a technical decision that the bodywork would have to clothe a completely innovative structural layout. The 612 Scaglietti translates this approach into wonderfully aerodynamic lines. It is softly and elegantly aggressive, sculpted to express the powerful personality of a prestigious high performance, surprisingly roomy car.

Its strong lines run over full, solid surfaces, creating sensual forms that still have the tension of a true thoroughbred.

The long scallops on the 612 Scaglietti's flanks lend it character and aerodynamic elegance too. These are borrowed from another famous Ferrari, the 375 MM ordered by Roberto Rossellini as a gift for his wife Ingrid Bergman.

The front wheel arches are very long with a shorter overhang while the rear ones are prominent and muscular to support the C-post. The traditional Ferrari air intake is given an original twist with the wheelarches protruding slightly further than the bonnet. The latter, thanks to a low, pulled-back engine, is set deep between the wheelarches which are the car's dominant volumes and give it an aerodynamic flourish accentuated by the crisp aluminium crease.

The rear section is big and solid-looking with the classic high tail lights. This design meets the aerodynamic demands of the slender profile that increases downforce.

The 612 Scaglietti boasts a wonderfully sophisticated sporty interior that reflects its all-aluminium structure and advanced technologies.

The level of on-board comfort is completed with a range of new generation of ergonomic features. The dashboard offers the driver a cluster of analogue and digital instruments. Alongside the big rev counter is the five inch multifunctional display with three modes: base, trip computer and tyre pressure.

The main driving controls are all mounted on the steering wheel designed for maximum driver control. The dynamic driving buttons are on the right (activate/deactivate Sport and CST) and the display buttons are on the left. Also included is a Hi-End Bose sound system specifically developed for the 612 Scaglietti's sophisticated aluminum and leather interior which can, naturally, be fully personalized on request.

The cabin's functionality is highlighted by the use of great swathes of beautifully crafted leather, which is hand-stitched and discreetly but incredibly comfortably padded. The same leather used for the seats is also used for the door pockets handles, and knee rests too.

The New V12 Engine

The 612 Scaglietti's engine is a significant development of the prestige 12-cylinder that Ferrari uses in its sports berlinettas. Specifically tailored for the new 2+2, its structure is based on the 575M Maranello's and is the absolute pinnacle of Ferrari's technological achievement.

The 612 Scaglietti's transaxle transmission sees the rear-mounted gearbox in unit with the differential with bevel-type final drive and limited-slip differential in the same function. The F1A gearbox (the A stands for Automatic) is one of the sophisticated new generation Formula 1-derived electro-hydraulic systems which Ferrari now uses with great success on all of its road-going models. The software that controls it is optimised for faster, more comfortable gear shifting.

This is the first time that the CST electronic stability and traction control system has been used in a Ferrari. It aids the 612 Scaglietti's dynamic handling, leaving the driver a great deal of freedom but still intervening in more difficult or riskier situations.

The CST offers exceptional performance and safety in all kinds of driving conditions. The system integrates and completes the ABS and ASR functions, by also controlling the directional dynamics of the car.

Grand Tourers are a real Ferrari tradition: the prancing horse marque built its first 12-cylinder 2+2 in 1948 (the 166 Inter, bodied by Touring), and then added other famous models clothed by such celebrated names as Ghia, Pinin Farina, and Vignale. These included the 212 Inter (1951), the 250 GT (1960), the 330 GT (1964), and the 365 GT (1967) which, for the very first time, boasted an automatic gearbox on some of the examples built for the American market, right up until the 456M of the 1990s.
