2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is the perfect marriage of sporty thoroughbred Ferrari berlinetta performance and excellent onboard comfort for four occupants. The replacement for the highly successful 456M, the new model’s own winning combination derives from a roomy interior enhanced by significantly larger dimensions, a 60 kg reduction in weight, and a range of uncompromising design solutions.

‍

Designed by Pininfarina to epitomize dynamism and elegance, the 612 Scaglietti boasts characteristic scalloped sides that recall the famous 375 MM bodied by the Turin coachbuilder for Rossellini and used by Ingrid Bergman. Its thoroughbred spirit effortlessly combines with outstanding comfort and space on board, from the ease of entry for all four occupants and the notable legroom (helped by an increase in length of 139 mm compared to the 456M), to the excellent rear seating layout with extra headroom. Lastly, the overall roominess of the 612 Scaglietti is complemented by a 240-liter luggage compartment – a full 25% larger than the 456M’s – which can hold a five-piece Ferrari luggage set or two golf bags.

‍

The 612 features an all-aluminum space frame chassis and bodywork construction used for the very first time on a Ferrari 12-cylinder and was built entirely by Ferrari at the Scaglietti Light-Alloy Technologies facility. The result is a massive 60% increase in overall structural rigidity (rigidity-weight ratio). The 612 Scaglietti’s advanced aluminum construction also translates into improved comfort and handling, in addition to offering maximum occupant protection in the case of a collision.

‍

Performance is handled by a 65-degree V12 engine with a displacement of 5748cc, which is rounded off to give the figure 6 (liters) in the 612 model designation. The V12 represents the very pinnacle of Ferrari engine design - thanks in particular to improved fluid dynamic characteristics of the intake and exhaust manifolds, the 6-liter V12 is capable of generating a blistering 540 bhp at 7250 rpm. The six-speed mechanical gearbox is available with both a manual and a new generation electro-hydraulic set-up, known as the F1A, designed to marry fast manual gear shifting with comfortable automatic use.
