The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is a grand tourer that blends Ferrari’s performance heritage with the comfort and space of a four-seater coupe. Produced from 2004 to 2011, it was available in Saudi Arabia. Designed by Pininfarina and named after legendary coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti, the 612 offered an elegant yet understated design, complemented by the power of a front-mounted V12 engine. Although now discontinued in KSA, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti remains available in the used car market, appealing to buyers seeking exclusivity, performance, and long-distance comfort.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is powered by a 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 540 horsepower and 588 Nm of torque. It was paired with either a traditional 6-speed manual or Ferrari’s F1 electrohydraulic 6-speed automated manual transmission, with power delivered to the rear wheels. This grand tourer accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 315 km/h.
The 612 Scaglietti boasts a long, flowing design characterised by a low roofline, extended wheelbase, and smooth curves, which lend it a graceful appearance. The front fascia includes a wide grille, oval headlights, and a sleek hood that hints at the V12 power beneath. With its understated elegance, the 612 stands apart from more aggressively styled Ferraris. It rides on alloy wheels and features subtle air vents, as well as a dual exhaust system.
The interior of the 612 Scaglietti combines luxurious materials with performance-oriented design. It offers genuine seating for four adults, a rarity among Ferraris. Leather upholstery, aluminum trim, and premium stitching adorn the cabin. Both driver and passengers enjoy automatic climate control, high-quality audio, and ample legroom, especially in the rear. The cockpit features analog gauges, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters (in F1 models), and a classic Ferrari gated shifter in manual variants.
Given its large V12 engine, fuel economy is modest:
Estimated range: 5.7 km/l
However, this is acceptable within the grand tourer segment, where performance and luxury take precedence over fuel efficiency.
For its time, the 612 Scaglietti offered advanced features including adaptive suspension, a premium Bose sound system, navigation, and an optional electrochromic glass roof. Safety equipment included front and side airbags, ABS, traction control, and stability control. While it lacked the digital sophistication of newer models, it offered one of the most refined driving experiences of its era.
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti models in KSA were commonly finished in elegant shades such as Grigio Silverstone, Nero, Blu Pozzi, and Rosso Corsa. Interior options included tan, black, and Bordeaux leather finishes, often customized through Ferrari’s personalization program.
In the used grand tourer segment in KSA, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti competes with the Aston Martin DB9, Bentley Continental GT, and Maserati GranTurismo. Though not as flashy as some rivals, the 612 offers a rare combination of four-seat practicality, timeless styling, and Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 performance, making it a true connoisseur’s choice.
