Ferrari 612 Scaglietti - What the Auto Press Says
The 2009 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti ranks 2 out of 8 Exotic Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 37 published reviews and test drives of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 612 Scaglietti is a one-of-a-kind high-performance four-seater that cuts no corners when it comes to luxury.
Introduced in 2005 as the successor to the Ferrari 456, the Scaglietti earns praise for its powerful performance attributes and luxurious accommodations. In fact, test drivers for MarketWatch report: "After a long, wonderful tour of the Columbia River Basin, we came away with the firm impression that this is the best darn four-seat car on the road in terms of performance and handling ... and smiles per mile." Still, the Scaglietti isn't perfect. While reviewers report that it drops jaws, many concede that it still doesn't look as hot as they'd like.
If you're in the market for a wildly styled exotic sports car, consider the Lamborghini Murcielago -- which features a removable targa top and scissor doors, among other attention-grabbing exterior features.
The 2009 Scaglietti is a carry-over from the previous model year.
- "Is this the perfect Grand Tourer? No such thing, really, but it's close." -- Motor Trend
- "V12 Ferrari Grand Tourers are about as exclusive as they come, with the 612 Scaglietti offering a phenomenal driving experience, plus "two-plus-two" practicality, for those who can afford its phenomenal running costs." -- Fifth Gear
- "It has the soul of a sporty berlinetta along with the dimensions and design of a luxurious, surprisingly roomy Grand Tourer, all clad in a sensuous form." -- AutoMiddleEast.com
- "If the average $25,000 family sedan bores you, and you have an extra $290,000 or so, the 612 Scaglietti is worth a look. ... And with a base price of approximately $312,000, the 612 costs less than 12 Honda Odysseys." -- Edmunds
612 Scaglietti Performance - 9.5 (Excellent)
Test drivers agree that the Scaglietti's got the chops to compete with any exotic sports car. Edmunds writes, "The 2009 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti compensates for its nearly 2-ton curb weight with light, precise steering and impressively nimble handling." What's more, it can rocket from 0 to 62 mph in a zip. Read More
612 Scaglietti Exterior - 7.7 (Good)
Auto writers find the Scaglietti sleek and sexy, but it still doesn't live up to what many have come to expect from Ferrari. "Not the most beautiful of recent Ferraris, although the design certainly projects plenty of gravitas," writes Fifth Gear. Read More
612 Scaglietti Interior - 8.4 (Very Good)
Critics are impressed with the Scaglietti's comfortable front seats, luxurious appointments, and functional cargo space. Fifth Gear writes, "Inside the cabin the true specialness becomes apparent. This is a Ferrari for those who regard lesser Ferraris as being not exclusive enough, and the quality of fit and finish is exemplary -- and a clear improvement over the 456." Still, its backseats receive mixed reviews. Read More
