                                          2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti


The 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is a first-rate exotic sports car equipped with enough power and panache to leave most everyone jealous. Since its introduction in 2005, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti hasn’t changed all that much. While that may bother some critics who feel that its Ferrari siblings look better, others don’t seem to mind at all. After all, few cars come close to matching the 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti’s unique combination of sleek grand tourer styling, hardcore sports performance and high-class interior accommodations.



It’s not a chore to drive on a regular basis either. The 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti’s visceral 540-horsepower V12 engine is loud and intimidating, but it handles comfortably. Plus, it features two small back seats and a class-competitive 8.75 cubic feet of cargo room. Although the words ‘practical’ and ‘Ferrari’ aren’t always synonymous, the Scaglietti is very usable, with a decent trunk, space out back for reasonably sized humans, and a wonderfully flexible V-12 engine.
The 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti might not be the most powerful or fastest performer in its class, but it’s a wonder to drive. Despite its physical size, it drives like a small, powerful, and lightweight sports car. The 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti features a 540-horsepower V12 engine and can reach a top speed of 196+ mph.
The 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is sleek and sexy, but some say its looks are not on par with more recently designed Ferraris. Even though it’s 5-years old and arguably showing its age, the 612 retains a strong sense of panache. For what it’s worth, folks on the street will definitely take notice.
Reviewers continue to marvel over the 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti’s modern, luxurious and intuitive interior design. Inside, drivers and passengers are rewarded with glove-soft leather, superb ergonomics, and no I-drive or M-drive. We found it amazing that in such a hot performance car, Ferrari’s layout could be quickly mastered when it came to the basics such as audio, ventilation and so forth. Despite its four-passenger capacity, most reviewers assert that the 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is better suited for only two.
The 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti has not been crash tested, but features a long list of active and passive safety equipment. Reviewers, however, have little to say about its safety features.

Protecting the 2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is a three-year/unlimited-mileage warranty — which is on par with its competition.

So, your stock portfolio is in the crapper, your spouse has found a younger flame, and your standard $326,730 Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano isn’t doing it for you anymore. Might we suggest that you order a new 599? This time, however, check the box for the $30,095 Handling GTE, or HGTE, package. With it comes a retuned suspension consisting of stiffer springs (17 percent in front and 15 percent in the rear), a thicker rear anti-roll bar (1.0 inch versus 0.9 for the standard 599), retuned adjustable shocks, and slightly wider front wheels. The 599 HGTE also sits 0.4 inch lower than the regular version, has a retuned exhaust note, and is fitted with stickier Pirelli P Zero rubber. Inside, each HGTE-equipped 599 includes every possible carbon-fiber option.
The twin-cam, 6.0-liter V-12’s power is unchanged at 612 hp and 448 lb-ft of torque. There are two options for the transmission, both of which offer six speeds: a traditional three-pedal manual or Ferrari’s F1-Superfast automated manual. The latter is the primary choice for buyers, evidenced by a quick jaunt past the company’s assembly line, where none of the partly assembled 599s were fitted with a manual gearbox.
