The 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.
The 612 Scaglietti's most significant features include:
All-aluminium space frame chassis and bodywork construction
used for the very first time on a Ferrari
12-cylinder and 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 aluminium construction also translates into improved comfort
and handling, in addition to offering maximum occupant protection in the
case of a collision.
-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. This in turn
significantly improves the car's dynamics in terms of performance (0-100
km/h in 4.2 seconds), stability and braking efficiency, as well as
delivering much nimbler handling. Excellent weight distribution (46%
front, 54% rear) is enhanced by a performance-oriented handling set-up
with active damping and the special CST stability and
traction control system, used here for the
very first time on a Ferrari.
-A 65 Degree V12 engine with a displacement of 5748 cc which is rounded
off to give the figure 6 (litres) 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, 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.
-Designed by Pininfarina to epitomise 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-litre luggage compartment - a full 25% larger
than the 456M's - which can hold a five-piece Ferrari luggage set or two
golf bags.
-The level of on-board comfort is completed with a range of new
generation of ergonomic features: the instrument binnacle and steering
wheel-mounted commands designed for maximum driver control, dual-zone
climate control, and a Hi-End Bose sound system specifically developed
for the 612 Scaglietti's sophisticated aluminium and leather interior
which can, naturally, be fully personalised on request
