Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (2007)

Overview:

The 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti sees no major changes from last year. This four-passenger, 2-door coupe is Ferrari's flagship car. The 612 uses a 532-hp 5.75-liter V12 engine that teams with a 6-speed manual transmission. Optional is Ferrari's F1A sequential manual transmission (SMT) that uses a small console stick to engage reverse and drive. Shifting is done through steering wheel paddles, but the transmission can be set to shift like an automatic. Standard safety equipment includes: ABS, traction control, and an antiskid system. The antiskid system has driver-selectable settings to limit its intervention during high-performance driving. Neither front side airbags nor curtain side airbags are available. An optional GTB package includes uprated sport suspension, specific exhaust tuning, and carbon ceramic brakes designed to minimize heat during panic stops. This evaluation is based on preview test drives.
