 First details on 2+2 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
October 21, 2003 – Ferrari has announced the name for its all-new 2+2 model, the 612 Scaglietti, which goes on sale early next year.
The overall layout – engine mounted behind the front axle, gearbox in unit with the differential at the rear – ensures an ideally balanced weight distribution (46% front, 54% rear), as well as permitting a lower centre of gravity, which benefits the dynamic behaviour of the car.
On-board comfort is boosted for the driver – by the adoption of ‘new generation’ ergonomics for the instrument binnacle, steering-wheel mounted and fascia-mounted controls – and for passengers by the fitting of dual-zone climate control and a Hi-End Bose sound system, specifically tailored to suit the unique acoustics of the leather and aluminium trimmed interior.

The 612 GT Scaglietti has thus faced some fairly harsh criticism in regards to its looks, but if previous Ferraris are anything to go by then it'll almost certainly be looked on more favourably as it ages.
Styling aside the 612 is demonstrably better than the car it has replaced.
With a thumping 5.7-litre V12 up front offering a thumping 540bhp the 612 is certainly not short of power, and although it's a big car the use of aluminium throughout means it's not as heavy as you might expect.
