The black, Pininfarina-penned curves of this sleek coupe are in sporting contrast to the red brake callipers and bright yellow prancing horse badging on the five-spoke alloy wheels. Inside, the elegant cream leather interior with embossed prancing horse logo on the seat headrests, black leather piping and aluminium detailing emphasise the sense of luxury and style. Under the bonnet the immaculate 5.7-litre V12, 532bhp engine - which can propel this true four-seater GT car from 0-62mph in just four seconds - underlines the fact that this is a performance car of not inconsiderable ability. ‘MX05 HBD’ is a well looked-after example of Ferrari’s front-engined, rear-wheel drive 612 Scaglietti and has recently received a major service, with the cambelt replaced less than 500 miles ago. The current owner describes the engine, six-speed automated paddle shift F1A transmission, electrics, body work and interior – which includes a Ferrari radio and Becker six-disc autochanger with Bose speakers – as ‘excellent’ and the paintwork as ‘good’. The car has a full service history, which is split between main dealer and private specialist, and which supports the declared 52,300 mileage. It comes complete with all handbooks, owner’s manual, service book, all MOTs and invoices for all work ever done on the car and an MOT to 1 October 2024.
The 612 Scaglietti was launched by Ferrari in 2004 and produced until 2010. The ‘6’ in ‘612’ represents a rounding-off of the car’s 5748cc displacement and the ‘12’ refers to the V12 engine. The Scaglietti name is in tribute to Sergio Scaglietti, the designer and coachbuilder behind some of Ferrari’s most iconic models of the 1950s and 60s. The 612 was the second all-aluminium Ferrari, the first being the 360 Modena. The 2+2 coupe was was offered with a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automated manual paddle shift transmission, which was a significantly more refined version of that on the 360. It shared an engine with the 575 Superamerica and the luxury grand tourer feel could be transformed into something much more sportscar-like by selecting the ‘Sport’ drive mode. 612 bodies were produced at Ferrari’s Carrozzeria Scaglietti plant in Modena, then taken to Maranello for engine and interior installation. Just 3,025 were built.
