2009 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Review and Photos

MSRP
$319,038

The 2009 612 is a 2-door, 4-passenger luxury sports car, available in one trim only, the Scaglietti F1.

Upon introduction, the 612 is equipped with a standard 6.0-liter, V12, 540-horsepower engine that achieves 9-mpg in the city and 16-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

With the 2009 edition, the company left most aspects of the 612 alone, but added a couple of quick updates. They won't likely alter that 612's nondescript feel, but is may make the experience of driving one more Ferrari-like by increment. Like the current model, the 2009 612 is powered by a 5.7-liter V12 producing 532 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque. New for next year include updated "Manettino" switch. That's the finagler of the 612's driving dynamics, by way of pre-set combinations of transmission, power output and traction control settings ("Ice," "Low Grip," "Sport," "Race," and "Off). It also gets a modified F1 semiautomatic gearbox, which the company says will provide faster upshifts and those luscious throttle blips for rev matching on downshifts.
