In 2004, during an automobile exhibition in Detroit, the Italian company Ferrari demonstrated to the public a new car that replaced the 456 M model and was called the 612 Scaglietti. The novelty is built on the basis of "2 + 2" and is a four-seat coupe with two doors. Typical features include central front engine placement, a long bonnet and a flowing smooth roof. Moreover, the body and chassis of the car are made of solid aluminum, resulting in a light weight of 1875 kg.
The length, width and height of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is 4902x1957x1344 millimeters, respectively. At the same time, the turning radius of the car is only 6.2 meters. The model has an excellent weight distribution between the axles: 46% on the front, and 54% on the rear. The result is excellent driving dynamics and stability on the road surface. The car has a clearance of 130 millimeters. It should be noted that for the whole history of the brand the system responsible for maintaining dynamic stability has been used for the first time here.
Now let's talk about the power unit. The model Ferrari 612 uses a V-shaped 5.7-liter petrol engine with a distributed injection. It consists of twelve cylinders with 48 valves and was designed specifically for this machine. Its maximum power reaches 540 "horses", which allows it to reach hundreds over a period of time of 4.2 seconds. Such a motor consumes 32.1 liters of fuel around the city, and 20.7 liters in suburban mode, so the tank accommodates as much as 108 liters. The maximum possible speed of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is 315 km / h. The car's engine functions in conjunction with a 6-speed gearbox. It can be mechanical or semi-automatic.
You can not ignore the interior of the car, which was created in such a way as to provide the driver and passengers the greatest possible comfort. Thanks to this, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is ideal for even a very long journey on it. Access to the salon is very quick and easy. Space in the car is quite enough for convenient placement in it even of tall passengers. Specifically for this model, an audio system and climate control, the management of which is displayed on the display, installed on the center console. There is also a built-in navigator. As for interior trim, everything depends on the wishes of each individual customer. The model has a spacious trunk of 240 liters.
The novelty was named in honor of the author of a number of beautiful bodies for sports models of the company Sergio Scalietti, who worked in the Italian stable in the middle of the last century. It should be noted that the famous Pininfarina studio also took an active part in its creation. In the car of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, designers were able to perfectly realize the advantages that are typical for a four-seater spacious car and a sports coupe, which can be purchased in the domestic secondary market for about 3.5 million rubles. The production of the model was completed in the year before last, as it was replaced by the Ferrari FF. Despite this, the model and sechas continues to cause admiration for motorists all over the world.
