Descrição
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti originated as the replacement for the 456 as their 2+2 flagship for the new Millennium, and paid tribute to the 375MM built for Roberto Rossellini as a gift to Ingrid Bergman. Named after legendary coachbuilder and long-time friend of Enzo, Sergio Scaglietti, it shared its engine with the Ferrari 575 and provided the blueprint for its two-seater cousin, the 599 GTB.
After leaving the halls of Carrozzeria Scaglietti, the bodies of the 612 were then mated to a tubular chassis in Maranello, and equipped with a multitude of options at the choice of the client —manual or F1A Graziano automated transmissions, glass roofs, an optional HGTC-C handling package, and a wide variety of tasteful colours, available in two-tone guise for the ‘Sessanta’ anniversary run of 60 cars.
Producing 533hp, the 612 could reach 100kmph in a respectable 4 seconds, and a top speed of 320kmph, all with surprising levels of refinement and comfort. Ferrari’s second full-aluminum car —right after the 360— was one tuned for long-distance driving and usability, with generous seating space and competent handling for a vehicle of this size.
This particular Scaglietti, specified as a ‘One to One’, was delivered new to Japan’s ‘Rosso Corsa’ Ferrari dealership. Finished in a rare shade of Bianco Avus over two-tone Daytona seats and Challenge-style wheels, this car has received a fresh timing belt service in December 2024 and is ready to drive and enjoy.
