Overview

Released in November 2004, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was a high-performance, two-door coupe. The 612 Scaglietti was powered by a 5.7-litre V12 petrol engine mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed ‘F1A’ semi-automatic transmission controlled via steering gearshift paddles.

Compared to the Ferrari 456M , the 612 Scaglietti was constructed with an all-aluminium space frame chassis which contributed to a 60 per cent increase in structural rigidity and a 60 kg weight reduction. The 612 Scaglietti could accelerate from rest to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and had a top speed in excess of 315 km/h.

Safety equipment

Standard safety equipment for the 612 Scaglietti included dual front airbags, ABS, electronic stability control and traction control.

Features

Standard features for the 612 Scaglietti included alloy wheels, a Bose sound system with CD player, dual-zone climate control air conditioning, power adjustable front seats (with driver’s seat memory settings), leather seats, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote central locking, power windows and heated mirrors, a tilt adjustable steering wheel, a motion-sensing alarm and immobiliser. The 612 Scaglietti was also fitted with a limited slip differential.

July 2008: 612 Scaglietti update

In July 2008, the 612 Scaglietti was updated as the ‘F1A’ transmission was replaced by the ‘F1 SuperFast’ semi-automatic transmission as used in the 599 GTB Fiorano, providing faster gearshifts; the manual transmission was discontinued. The electronic stability control system could also be controlled via the steering wheel-mounted Manettino switch.

Features were extended to include 20-inch ‘Challenge’ ball-polished alloy wheels, carbon-ceramic disc brakes and an electrochromatic glass roof with variable tinting (from five to ninety-five per cent). Furthermore, the previously optional GTS suspension tune as standard.
