Scaglietti, Ferrari had acknowledged the immense contribution made by its Maranello neighbour and close collaborator over the preceding 50 years. Founded by Sergio Scaglietti in 1951 and now a wholly owned subsidiary, the company has been responsible for manufacturing many of Ferrari's most memorable cars.
The 612's design brief had called for a car capable of accommodating four adults in comfort - rather than being merely a '2+2' - without sacrificing any of the superlative driving dynamics excepted by dedicated Ferraristi. Introduced in 2004, the result was the biggest Ferrari road car ever, yet one that weighed less than the smaller 456M. The 'secret' lay in the 612's lightweight aluminium chassis, which replaced the traditional sheet-steel monocoque.
In styling the 612, Pininfarina paid homage to one of its most famous past creations – the fabulous 375MM commissioned by renowned Italian film-maker Roberto Rossellini for his wife, Ingrid Bergman, and first seen at the Paris Salon in 1954 – its long nose and scalloped sides finding echoes in the Scaglietti. Not content with merely shedding weight as a means of boosting performance, the 612 featured an improved version of the 575M Maranello's 5,748cc 65-degree V12 engine producing 540bhp and 434lb/ft of torque. The F1A semi-automated manual transmission too had undergone significant improvement.
This rare (and unique) example of Ferrari's luxury four-seater Sessanta supercar was purchased new by the vendor. It has spent almost its entire life on static display and has recently been recommissioned by Stratton Motor Company. This work included new fuel pumps, cam belts and auxiliary belts, as well as all filters, engine oil, diff oil coolant, spark plugs and brake fluid. The bill for this work is on file and totals some £14,745.
