At launch in 2004, Ferrari’s answer to the Bentley Continental GT and Aston Martin Vanquish was a front-engined, long-nosed, rear-drive 540bhp GT that was the closest the firm had ever come to making a 200mph family car.
Designed by Pininfarina (like all the best-looking Ferraris) and as the name suggests, the 612’s body was made by the famous coachbuilder at a new facility in Modena, with final trimming and assembly at the Maranello works.
The design of the 612 includes a subtle nod to 1954 Ferrari 375MM “Ingrid Bergman” built for the actress and filmmaker Roberto Rossellini – the flowing lines, teardrop lights and side scallop echo the classic Ferrari.
Long in the nose, with a short rear deck and huge doors, the 612, as well as being the firm’s second all-aluminium car after the 360 Modena, introduced the now familiar front-mid-engined chassis architecture, mounting the V12 well behind the front-axle line in a new, super-rigid all MIG- and spot-welded aluminium spaceframe.
The 612 Scaglietti is powered by a 5. 7-litre naturally aspirated petrol V12, which redlines at 7500rpm and will propel the car to 62mph in 4. 0sec. The reinforced aluminium spaceframe makes the 612 light and the weight is distributed 55% over the front axle and 45% over the rear, this translates to handling prowess. The car’s poise, balance and willingness to play in even the most mundane of situations make it wonderful to hustle around bends.

Better still, it combines this with a magnificent V12 that howls and wails with the fortitude of a Vulcan jet on demand, yet at a cruise settles into a relaxed, hushed gait that lets you engage in small talk with your passengers.
Initially met with mixed reviews, the 612 has undergone critical re-evaluation in recent years and is asserting its place as a true modern classic Ferrari.
