The car features folding back seats and a tail gate in order for easy entry and exit of the passengers, the folding back seats also result in increased storage space. The roof line has been designed in a sloping down manner so resulting in more headroom for passengers on the rear seats. Apart from that, the car features a redesigned nose, unique wheels, glass roof, front air vents near the front wheels for increased downforce and improved brake cooling, thinner headlamps and unique quad tail lamps. Giugiaro wanted a Ferrari that he could easily use with his family and which allowed easy entry and exit of passengers from the rear of the car which was his main inspiration in the design. The mechanical components are the same as those found in a standard 612.<ref>{{cite web|URL=https://www.evo.co.uk/ferrari/7874/giorgetto-giugiaro-hatches-ferrari-gg50-concept|title=Giugiaro Hatches Ferrari GG50 concept|date=2005-11-02|work=EVO Magazine|accessdate=2018-08-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|URL=https://www.italdesign.it/project/gg-50/|title=Project GG 50|work=Italdesign|accessdate=2018-08-15}}</ref> |

===612 OTO F1 (Mid 2008 to 2010)=== |
|||
The OTO F1 demonstrated a revised second generation 612 similar to revisions Ferrari typically makes during their product life cycles (i.e. Testarossa to 512TR, 550 to 575, 456GT to 456M, etc.). OTO cars signified Ferrari's One to One program where a purchaser could sit down at Ferrari's New York showroom or at the Factory in Italy and special order his car to his exact specifications with personal assistance via Ferrari's Atelier program. OTO cars featured Ferrari's updated Type F133H V12 in place of the earlier Type F133F, a revised 599 dual plate clutch Superfast transmission (2 years before the 599 received it), glass electrochromic roof, steering wheel Mannetino, 20" Challenge wheels and sporty exhaust, Carbon Ceramic brakes, etc. The HGT2 package option gave the 612 a sport and suspension package similar to the HGTE package later offered on 599's. OTO cars were therefore, not ordered for inventory and each was custom ordered by customers and generally feature special interiors, options and details coupled with Ferrari's revised performance attributes that make these limited production cars very special. It is said less than 50 are circulating within the U.S. market. |

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (Italian pronunciation: [skaʎˈʎetti]) is a 2+2 coupé grand tourer manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari between 2004 and 2010. It was designed to replace the smaller 456; its larger size makes it a true 4 seater with adequate space in the rear seats for adults.
The design, especially the large side scallops and the headlights, pays homage to the coach built 1954 Ferrari 375 MM that director Roberto Rossellini had commissioned for his wife, Ingrid Bergman.
Specifications

Chassis
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.
Engine
The 612 Scaglietti shares its engine with the Ferrari 575 Superamerica - despite the name's suggestion that it is a six-litre V12 the displacement is actually 5,748 cc (5.7 L). The engine has compression ratio of 11:1 and enables the car to attain a top speed of 323 km/h (201 mph) and accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 4.2 seconds
| Engine type | Power, torque |
|---|---|
| 5,748 cc (350.8 cu in) V12 (Tipo F133F) | 540 PS (397 kW; 533 hp) at 7,250 rpm, 589 N⋅m (434 lb⋅ft) at 5,250 rpm |
Transmissions
Two choices of transmissions were available on the 612, a 6-speed manual or the 6-speed semi-automatic paddle shift transmission designated the F1A, a much refined version of the F1 transmission used in the 360.
Production
The body of the 612 was produced at Ferrari's Carrozzeria Scaglietti plant, the former home of the car's namesake coachbuilder in Modena, Italy. It was then taken to the Ferrari factory located at Maranello and the V12 engine along with the interior were installed. A total of 3,025 cars were produced with only 199 equipped with a manual gearbox.
The Ferrari 612 was replaced by the Ferrari FF in 2011.
Recall
In 2008, Ferrari recalled several hundred 2005–2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti equipped with the semi-automatic F1 transmission because the clutch sensor in the transmission could malfunction due to heat from the vehicle under normal operating conditions. This would render the vehicle inoperable and possibly result in a crash.[1]
Special models and one-offs
612 Sessanta (2007)

Only two colour choices were available for the Sessanta, which were:[3]

612 Kappa (2006)
The 612 Kappa is a one-off special built for Peter S. Kalikow, former Chiarman of the New York Metropolitan Transport Authority and a renowned Ferrari collector. The stands out from the standard 612 through the use of multiple unique elements, such as a functional hood scoop on the engine cover lined with polished aluminium, added air vents near the front wheels for improved downforce, the rear taillights found on the Ferrari Enzo along with the F430, personalised door handles containing the initials of the owner, chromed headlight bezels, and a sunroof that utilises electrochromic glass to vary the amount of opacity in the glass. On the request of Kalikow, Ferrari agreed to not copy the distinguished elements of the 612 Kappa into its future models.[5]
Ferrari GG50 (2006)

The Ferrari GG50 is a concept car developed by Italian styling house Italdesign Giugiaro, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Giorgetto Giugiaro as an automobile designer. Based on the 612 Scaglieti, the car was designed by Giugiaro himself and has a fastback coupé body style with a shortened wheelbase than the donor car. The car features folding back seats and a tail gate in order for easy entry and exit of the passengers, the folding back seats also result in increased storage space. The roof line has been designed in a sloping down manner so resulting in more headroom for passengers on the rear seats. Apart from that, the car features a redesigned nose, unique wheels, glass roof, front air vents near the front wheels for increased downforce and improved brake cooling, thinner headlamps and unique quad tail lamps. Giugiaro wanted a Ferrari that he could easily use with his family and which allowed easy entry and exit of passengers from the rear of the car which was his main inspiration in the design. The mechanical components are the same as those found in a standard 612.[6][7]
The car was unveiled at the 2006 New York International Auto Show. Ferrari provided a rolling chassis of the 612 Scaglieti and technical support to Italdesign during the build process.[8]
