The Scaglietti 2+2 Coupé was penned by Frank Stephenson under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, and it is said that design, especially the strident side scallops and headlights, were a nod to the coachbuilt 1954 375 MM that film director, Roberto Rossellini, had commissioned for his wife Ingrid Bergan. The newcomer replaced the outgoing 456 but, being physically larger, was a genuine four-seat Grand Tourer. It was Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle and comprised of a spaceframe manufactured in conjunction with Alcoa, that was a combination of extrusions and castings to which the body was then welded. The same chassis formed the basis of Ferrari's 599 GTB flagship Grand Tourer.
The front, mid-mounted, V12 powerplant was shared with the 575 Superamerica and was not six litres as the name suggests but 5.7, though big enough for a healthy power output of 533bhp and equally impressive performance figures, including a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed north of the magic 200mph. A total of just 3,025 examples were manufactured between 2004 and 2011, all but 199 of which featured the F1A gearbox.
This Scaglietti is finished in Nero Daytona metallic with Scuderia wing shields, over a Nero leather-trimmed cabin complete with contrast stitching and Cavallino Rampante-embossed headrests rides on a set of optional 20-inch ‘Challenge’ alloy wheels, housing yellow callipers and wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres. The specification also includes a Giallo rev-counter, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, electrically adjustable and heated front seats with three-position memory, a Bose sound system, switchable sport mode, and a Becker Traffic Pro stereo with satellite navigation and voice control.
A well-maintained and cared for example the cam belt and tensioners were replaced as part of a major service completed in March 2021 by Ferrari specialist GTO Engineering, a further full service was also completed last year including all fluids changed, plus a new alternator and battery. This 612 Scaglietti benefited in 2023 from a recent cosmetic overhaul the paint is now reported to present immaculately. Included in the sale is the original owner’s book pack, service history, and toolkit.
This is an elegant example of Ferrari’s grand tourer, powered by a thunderous V12 and boasting timelessly appealing styling this handsome Scaglietti would make a great addition to any collection, and needs nothing to be put into use as a thrilling B-road companion or comfortable and effortlessly sophisticated long-distance cruiser.
