31.10.2003 THE NEW FERRARI 612 SCAGLIETTI IS CAUGHT IN THE FLESH FOR THE FIRST TIME

The New Ferrari Scaglietti is seen for the first time in the flesh with these images taken at a recent dealer awareness meeting.

Set to replace perhaps the most elegant 2+2 of all time, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti will be officially presented at the 2004 Detroit Motor Show in January.

Named after one of Ferrari's famous craftsmen, the 612 is powered by a 5.748 cc V12 engine, producing 540bhp at 7,250rpm. Despite weighing in at a considerable 1.840kg, the 2+2 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and reaches a top speed in excess of 315 km/h. This makes it the world’s fastest production 2+2 and is set to clearly become another automotive benchmark.
