-->The
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (skal-yeti) is a [Gran Turismo automobile produced by Ferrari since 2004. It is a large two door fastback
coupe with a 2 plus 2 seating arrangement. The 612 Scaglietti was designed to replace the smaller Ferrari 456M. Its larger size makes it a true 4 seater with adequate space in the rear seats for adults.
It is produced at Ferrari's
Carrozzeria Scaglietti plant, the former home of the car's namesake coachbuilder in
Modena,
Italy. The design, especially the large side
scallops and the headlights, pays homage to the custom 1954
Ferrari America#375 MM "Ingrid Bergman" that director Roberto Rossellini had commissioned for his wife, Ingrid Bergman.
Styling
The styling of the 612 Scaglietti has proven to be controversial at best. Despite its classic roots, with the overall form of the car being very similar to the 250 GTOs, it is considered by some to be rather ungainly... a criticism that is most often directed towards the small rounded headlights and the middle of the car's front being shorter than the sides. Some also find the length of the hood (which is partially disguised by the side scallops) to be disproportionate to the rest of the body. Others find it merely unassuming:
Top Gear (current format)'s
Jeremy Clarkson mentioned that car isn't really noticeable compared to other Ferraris.
Chassis
The 612 is Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle, the first being the
Ferrari 360 Modena. Its space frame (developed with Alcoa) is made from extrusions and castings of the material, and the aluminium body is
welded on. The chassis of the 612 forms the basis of the new Ferrari 599 GTB, the replacement for the current
V12 Ferrari 575M Maranello sports car.
Engine
The 612 Scaglietti shares its naturally aspirated 5.7 L (5748 cc)
V12 internal-combustion engine with the Ferrari 575M Maranello. The
Ferrari Dino engine#V12 engine produces 540 Horsepower#CV (533
Horsepower#hp (SAE)/397 Watt) at 7250 rpm and 588
Newton metre (433
Torque) at 5250 rpm with a compression ratio of 11.2:1. The car is capable of 199 mph (315 km/h) and has a 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds. It comes with two six speed
Transmission (mechanics) options: a conventional Manual transmission or the F1A paddle shift system, a much refined version of the F1 system in Ferrari 360 Modena.
Media
On
Top Gear (current format), host
Jeremy Clarkson drove a 612 Scaglietti in a race against co-hosts
James May and
Richard Hammond who took trains and busses - from the studio in
Surrey, England to Verbier,
Switzerland. Despite faulty windshield wipers (creating a maddening rattle) and being stopped for speeding, Clarkson beat May and Hammond to the resort lodge, passing the two a short distance from the lodge.
In his own DVD: 'Heaven and Hell' Clarskon also claims the car is the most 'astonishing' made that year, despite the looks.
