Saw a red Scag yesterday at the Washington, D.C. Auto show. Ferrrari didn't even bother to display a price tag for it.

Mike, if you think this car is just ungainly and not proportionate, what do you think about these cars whose design is timeless and classic to say the least: (the Scaglietti looks remarkably like these cars). The long hood, high and short rear quarters etc.

Yep, still love this tons more than the 430.











555 hp and 599 Nm torque

Four seater Coupe´s have a long tradition at Ferrari. The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti shows that there is no need to renounce to the advantages of a “super-sport” car. It impresses with its V12 engine and the resulting performance.

The modified engine electronic as well as the stainless steel exhaust system upgrade the performance of the Novitec Rosso 612 Scaglietti to 555 PS and increase the responding behaviour. 8-pistons calipers at the front and 4-Kolben at the rear put powerful pressure on the 380mm brake discs of the Novitec high-performance brake system and assures the driver a sovereign deceleration.

The elegant lines of the 612 Scaglietti’s aerodynamic are consciously left untouched. The driving stability is improved by the Novitec KW adjustable suspension and the Novitec NF2 in 9x19 inches at the front with Pirelli Pzero Rosso 275/35 R19 and 12.5x20 inches at the rear with 335/30 R20, which provide a glamorous and distinctive appearance to the Novitec Scaglietti.

I think classic cars that look rather phallic have that "I've got power, I've got speed, and it's not me -- it's my car" design thing going on. It's a classic mid-life crisis design IMO.

However, as for the Scaglietti, it is a rather retro conservative design for Ferrari. I expect more: I want a distinguishable design that can be seen a mile away. Something that looks so sexy that people are drawn to it. This car does not do it for me. It may attract lots of people, but it doesn't suit my taste for a Ferrari.

As they say, design and looks are 100% subjective. What you consider to be a mid life crisis design maybe a classic design to others. LOL

I for one think the Enzo is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. What do you consider that design to be? Do you consider that to be a "phallic" design as well?

No, the Enzo doesn't fall into that category. The Enzo is very angular and sharp, not long with a bulbous cabin.



I can't believe I'm analyzing cars like this...

Never a fan of the Enzo look, but it still looks better than this Scagletti . . .

The 612 has one of the worst looking fron ends I've ever seen. Looked even worse in the 2-tone in Detroit. The rear looks nice, but I can't stand that front. Course then again, the only relatively current Ferraris I really like are the 355, 360, & 430.
