Ferrari 612 Scaglietti scoop Auto Motor und Sport
 
This week's Auto Motor und Sport has pictures of the successor to the 456M GT. I tried to find the pictures for you on the net, but I didn't succeed. I can tell you one thing though: it looks absolutely fantastic. Much like the sketches we've seen before, but the rear looks more like the 575M Maranello. I had to get used to the headlights a little, but apart from that the car looks perfect IMO.

Too bad Ferrari messed up with the name again (612, probably stands for 6 litres 12 cylinders), but that's nothing new. Ever since the 206/240 and 308 etc they've a mess of it. The addition of 'Scaglietti' was a surprise to me. But on the other hand, as Ferrari's most important and renowned coachbuilder (just to name a few: 250 GTO, 500 Monza, 250 Testa Rossa) and personal friend to Enzo, it's not that surprising.

I'll keep looking for pictures. And if you can't wait, try and get your hands on Auto Motor und Sport.

that car looks pretty good. Im not much of a fan of the 456 but that one looks good. Can't get a better car that hold four people though :)

The back & side of the car looks great but the front ... :shock: those headlights look dumb at first sight. I could be mistaken but this just doesn't catch me as much and like other ferrari's

Quite simply, the best 2+2 money can buy! a worthy successor to the elegant 456 :mrgreen: $$$ tho!

nice pics Callen!!

but looking at the car again, I do not like the front, especially the headlights

Kinda looks the same as the older one

the engine is the 575M's V12, tuned to make 540 hp. it's the 5748cc V12, not the Enzo's 6L V12. they rounded the 5.7 to 6 in the name.

persnally I don't like the interior. it's to much like the Enzo- the same air vents and there's a lcd screen.

ps. I'm now officially a light weight :)

Beautiful car, I'm sure it is!It's a Ferrari!
The interior sometimes reminds me of the Enzo, and there's a stability control...has to be turned off.
Weigths over 1800kgs...too much for me, but it's not intended as a sport car like the 360 for example.

It looks more like a Maserati than a real Ferari :)

Not bad IMO.. Front can be better but.. Interior is good..
And also it still owns a ferrari logo!

the front looks too sissy
hope they can do something abt it

the rear doesnt look much diff from the current car though

AlienDB7 10-17-2003 03:05 PM

Look others, I think the front needs a bit of work too. However, the proportion and shape of the car is very nice as usual.

Wonder when it'll be featured on the Auto Motor und Sport show? 0X
