2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti manual

November 16, 2019 Graham

You almost have to pity Ferrari when it comes to development and manufacturing costs. A niche automaker such as Ferrari cannot spread the development and tooling costs for each new model over a large production run like GM can with the Corvette, for example. When GM decided to move the Corvette to a completely new mid-engine chassis, it did so with the prospect of 25-30,000 sales annually, a luxury not available to Ferrari.

Ferrari manages development costs by sharing powertrains and vehicle platforms. The 612 lead the way in aluminum front-ship V12 chassis development for the 599 GTB Fiorano (sadly, it didn't pass on its styling grace). And, the 575 Superamerica, a limited-production model, shared its similar tipo F 133 V12 with the Scaglietti, spreading out the development costs over the two models.

The 612 is Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle, the first being the 360 Modena. Its space frame, manufactured in collaboration with Alcoa, is made from extrusions and castings of the material, and the aluminium body is then welded on. The chassis of the 612 formed the basis of the 599 GTB flagship grand tourer.
The 612 Scaglietti was one of the last cars Ferrari offered with a manual.

This example shows a healthy crop of miles on the odometer. Often, this means that the vehicle is in better health, having required frequent tending to in order to hit the road so often. Given the mileage, the interior is holding up better than expected. Leather for seats in this category of vehicle isn't selected for lasting quality. No, it just needs to look, feel, and smell decadent when the car is purchased new. Though the car wears the 19" HGTC handling package wheels, it doesn't appear to have the chrome exhaust grilles, so it's likely just a wheel upgrade and doesn't contain the other components of the handling package.

Manual shift 612 Scagliettis have never really dropped in price, and looking back at one we posted in 2015, prices have increased by 30%, give or take. Not an explosion by any means, but disheartening for manual 2+2 fans of modest means. As the story goes, the 612 was succeeded by the FF hatchback, available in automated-manual only. An impressive vehicle, the FF, but it's no manual V12 GT. For those looking for a modern Ferrari grand tourer with a manual transmission, the 612 is really the only option.

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

March 21, 2019 Graham

Our childhood Ferrari experience, like for most, was of the Matchbox car variety. As far as we can remember, it was a yellow Ferrari 250 GTO that introduced us to the brand. And later, there was the yellow Testors Ferrari F50 model car kit to complement our black Lamborghini Diablo. As such, we're more drawn to Ferraris in the bright Giallo Modena than in the traditional Rosso Corsa.

Today's yellow example of a Ferrari 612 is standard 612 fare. Its Tipo F 133 F 5.7L V12 engine represents the pinnacle of that engine range, on street cars at least. Debuting in 1992 in the 612's predecessor, the Ferrari 456, the series of 65 degree V12s peaked with the 612 and its 530hp at a lofty 7,250 RPM - screaming for a GT, and yet so appropriate for a Ferrari.

The advantage to buying a car with a tried-and-true engine platform comes in the service department. Despite the 612's modern appearance, it retains a simpler engine design than the later Enzo-based Tipo F 140 engine series. Unfortunately, the transaxles on the 612 aren't the best at managing clutch slip, as evidenced by the 20k mile clutch replacement on this car. Another negative of this car is the front bumper alignment - we can't tell if it's just contracted for some reason, or whether it's a result of accident repair.

Our ideal yellow 612 would encompass a light tan interior, if only to avoid the bumblebee color scheme. The dark grey wheels would also see replacement with lighter silver units, though we do really like the Ferrari Challenge style of wheel on the big Ferraris. We could also do without the yellow interior trim, but that is easily rectified. At around $100k and only 20k miles, we won't say that this car represents a great value. But, are there really any great values with V12 Ferraris?

2008 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

February 18, 2019 Graham

The 612 Scaglietti may not succeed the 456 with grace, owing mostly to its size, but as far as large coupes go, few can compete with the design of the 612. And those that do? Well, they don't come with Ferrari power.

Motivating the aluminum chassis and bodywork of the 612 is a familiar 5.7L V12 based on the engine found in the Ferrari 575M and also found in the Superamerica variant of the 575M. In this trim, the engine produced 533hp, which was the most that any street car saw out of the 65 degree F133 series of Ferrari V12s.

Very few 612s made it out of Maranello with a traditional manual, so this car is forgiven for its F1 paddles. We typically don't seek out black Italian cars, despite owning two, and we think that a blue would suit this car a bit better. But, it does have the polished split-spoke wheels that we love, and we do like how they work with the black exterior.

So, where does the $100k 612 fit into the picture, when manual 456s are readily available in that region and below? Well, if you actually plan on driving it on long trips, the updated suspension and increased interior space could be worth something. We wouldn't bet on it being more reliable, as Ferrari took a reliable design and complicated it. And, the electronic displays haven't aged all that well either. We'll keep a look out for 612s in going forward, and hopefully we'll find a nice traditional manual with the gated shifter to share.
