Ugliest Ferrari Mule Ever Continues Testing In Maranello

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:20:00 EDT

If Ferrari's intention in building camouflage for its 612 Scaglietti replacement was to make it so hideous nobody would want to photograph it, well, then, job well done. Despite a glorious engine wail we can barely look at it. [AutoExpress] More »

Ferrari's Next Front-Engined GT Sounds Amazing

Sam Smith — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:00:00 EDT

This long-nosed Ferrari prototype was recently filmed yowling around Maranello. It's wearing the headlights of a 458 Italia, the rear glass of a 599 Fiorano, and enough camouflage to cover half of Europe. Unsurprisingly, it sounds fantastic. More »

2009 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti in Geneva; Don't Blink, It's the Same on the Outside

Mike Spinelli — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:15:00 EST

The 612 is the prancing horse's strong, silent type; it's about as edgy as a long weekend in the South of France, and just as pricey. That's been the extent of criticism leveled at Ferrari's luxurious tourer. With the 2009 edition, the company left most aspects of the 612 alone, but added a couple of quick updates. They won't likely alter that 612's nondescript feel, but is may make the experience of driving one more Ferrari-like by increment. Like the current model, the 2009 612 is powered by a 5.7-liter V12 producing 532 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque. New for next year include updated "Manettino" switch. That's the finagler of the 612's driving dynamics, by way of pre-set combinations of transmission, power output and traction control settings ("Ice," "Low Grip," "Sport," "Race," and "Off). It also gets a modified F1 semiautomatic gearbox, which the company says will provide faster upshifts and those luscious throttle blips for rev matching on downshifts. Those updates won't make a 612 into Mr. Hyde, but then again the 612 isn't the 599GTB. More »

Strange Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Spotted Provides Us Opportunity For Endless Speculation

Ray Wert — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 10:45:00 EDT

The Italian stallions of Autoblog.it happened to snag some shots of a very odd looking Ferrari 612 Scaglietti near the Maranello Ferrari factory. There's potentially some very weird stuff going on under the hood there if those odd-looking hood bulges are to be believed. Perhaps it's a facelift for the 612 Scag, or it could be it's an test mule for a Dino powerplant, or maybe even the new twin-turbo engine we've heard rumored will be under the hood of the next Enzo. Or maybe it's just an engine upgrade for the big V12. Whatever it is, there be strange things afoot in the stables of the prancing ponies. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any new developments.

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti to Get Standard XM

Mike Spinelli — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 14:06:41 EDT

What good is being a corporate lobbyist and having a fat, luxe Ferrari if you can't hear the "Ron & Fez" show on the way to the day spa? No damn good, we say. But take heed. Ferrari will include XM Radio and XM NavTraffic as standard equipment in the 612 Scaglietti flagship grand tourer, along with three years of service. I guess just listening to the engine won't cut it anymore. Maybe if XM had a channel that only played Ferrari V12s... Hmm. More »

Ferrari Prances Out 612 Scaglietti Sessanta Edition

Mike Spinelli — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 07:17:25 EDT

Ferrari's big 60th is wrapping up, with the company's global relay race sliding into Modena this past weekend. But an anniversary be without an anniversary edition would just be another crap-ass birthday. And it's not like Ferrari needs another occasion to deck out its top-of-mast 612 Scaglietti with special two-tone paint and swank interior appointments. But the 612 Sessanta (60, get it?) also gets an electro-chromic panoramic roof panel with three transparency positions (like the Superamerica), carbon-ceramic brake package, and an electronics package from Bose that includes rear parking camera and TV tuner. Viscounts only, please. – Mike Spinelli More »

Only in Geneva: One Man's One-Off Ferrari Concept Is Another's Daily Driver

Mike Spinelli — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 05:34:08 EST

Seriously, if you were Giorgietto Giugiaro, wouldn't you drive your one-off Ferrari concept car across the Alps to Switzerland? And once you got there, wouldn't you just slam it into a parking garage, in sight of all the plebes' Ford Focus C-Maxes and Renault Twingos? The Winding Roadies caught Giugiaro's Ferrari GG50, which was a gift to himself on occasion of his family firm's 50th anniversary. It even has road mud. We'd imagine him saying something like, "The car, she is made to be driven, not kept like in a root cellar next to the dried cod, like grandmother." Maybe not exactly like that. – Mike Spinelli More »

Spy Photos: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 4x4

Mike Spinelli — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 12:01:38 EST

Let's say this crazy Dr. Brown setup is a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti fitted with the Maranello boys' new part-time 4x4 system. Were that the case — and it probably is — it would be an early test mule for the system, which is destined for an updated Scag. Winding Road's Reilly Brennan explains what all that science junk is for. Who knew you tested wheel slip with a stethoscope? – Mike Spinelli More »

Post-Debut Pre-Debut of Peter Kalikow's Ferrari 612 Kappa

Davey G. Johnson — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:00:00 EDT

After we'd finished ogling the 599 in the Ferrari North America tent on Friday, we stepped outside for a dose of nicotine (it's the pause that refreshes, after all), and stumbled right into Peter Kalikow's Pininfarina-massaged 612 Scaglietti, dubbed the 612 Kappa. We shot the shit with some Ferraristi and gleaned that with the GTC exhaust, the ram-air effect caused by the functional hood scoop and the downforce provided by the massive ducts behind the front wheels, the revised Scag should be able to top 200mph. While it's been overshadowed by the radically altered Enzo-based James Glickenhaus P4/5, the Kalikow car betters the standard 612 in practically every way. This is the 2+2 Ferrari should've built.

Another Billionaire's Ferrari: Peter Kalikow's Scaglietti

Mike Spinelli — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 08:24:56 EDT

Pininfarina's released a press kit introducing the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti "K" the venerable design firm built for New York billionaire, real estate mogul, former owner of the New York Post, chairman of the MTA (NYC's transit authority) and all-around filthy-rich collector of priceless Ferraris, Peter Kalikow. The car, which has undergone a far-less radical-looking transformation than the Ferrari P4/5 Pininfarina built for fellow mogul James Glickenhaus, debuted earlier this year at Italy's Villa d'Este Concours d' Elegance. According to the company, Kalikow's work order was as follows: a new body with such subtle, hidden differences from the original as to be recognizable at first glance by only 10% of Ferrari connoisseurs. Spending an obscene amount of money on a completely rebodied Ferrari that looks 90% like the original one? That, my friends, is serious cash-money cojones. More »

Interior Design Mag Creates Ferrari Scaglietti Show Car

Mike Spinelli — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 09:26:14 EDT

UK style council members caught unaware Ferrari's in-house coachworks can personalize a Ferrari Scaglietti to order, get out your Alexander McQueen pad and pencil sets. Ferrari's teamed with Walpaper* magazine on a show car to highlight the company's bespoke options. The driveway model's been finished in a "stunning but subtle" paint scheme iin Nero (black?) and Blu Pozzi (blue?), with a custom interior, aluminum kickplates and special badging. Road trips to Spain can be made ever so much more luxurious with a set of matching luggage. Expect to see it at an insufferably pretentious event near you. More »

Another Billionaire Gets His Bespoke Ferrari On: Peter Kalikow's Scaglietti

Mike Spinelli — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 09:13:22 EDT

New York real estate tycoon and chairman of the city's Metropolitan Transit Authority, Peter Kalikow, is the latest in a crowd of three super-rich Ferrari enthusiasts who've commissioned Italy's coachbuilders to rebody their exotics. As collector James Glickenhaus did vis-a-vie his bespoke, Enzo-based P4/5, Kalikow's go-to firm is Pininfarina, which will create a yet-unknown Ferrari homage atop the bones of Kalikow's 612 Scaglietti. And like collector Yoshi Hayashi's Zagato-bodied 575 — dubbed 575GTZ — the finished product will be revealed late this week at the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in Italy. No word on cost, but figure at least as much as one of the new #6 trains. More »
