The 612 Scaglietti was named for the fabled coachbuilder favored by the factory, and its dramatic styling was inspired by the famed 375 MM built as a gift from Roberto Rosselini to his great love, actress Ingrid Bergman. Honoring both the Hollywood provenance of the design and the model’s appeal to the U.S. market, it debuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. Featuring aluminum bodywork around an alloy space-frame chassis, its 540-horsepower V12 could push it to a top speed of 199 mph. This really was a 4-passenger sports car without compromises.
This 612 Scaglietti offered here, finished in striking and classic Rosso Corsa, is an original U.S.-market model, as signified by its VIN. Mr. Taylor acquired the car in 2018. It has been diligently serviced by the Ferrari specialists at Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, CT, with detailed invoices included in the file. At the time of cataloging, the car had recorded 20,458 miles and has recently had the common “sticky button” malady corrected.
