Ferrari's latest and greatest four-passenger model, the 612 Scaglietti was named for the fabled coachbuilder favored by the factory, and its dramatic styling inspired by the famed 375 MM built as a gift from Roberto Rossellini 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 Auto Show. Featuring aluminum bodywork around an alloy space-frame chassis, its 540-horsepower V-12 could push it from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds on the way to a top speed of 196 mph. This really was a four-passenger sports car without compromises.

By this time Ferrari's paddle-shift F1 gearbox had achieved tremendous popularity, but the six-speed manual transmission remained available for performance-minded enthusiast drivers. Of the 3,025 examples of the 612 Scaglietti, only 199 were fitted with the six-speed gearbox, and just 60 of these were produced to U.S. specifications. They are the most desirable of their type.

The six-speed 612 Scaglietti offered here, finished in striking and classic Rosso Corsa, is an original U.S.-market model, as signified by its VIN, though it moved overseas at some point in its early life. Mr. Taylor acquired the car in 2018 from a seller in Dubai and thus returned it to the States. It has since been diligently serviced by his favored Ferrari specialists at Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, Connecticut, with detailed invoices included in the file, alongside the original import and registration paperwork. At the time of cataloging, the car had recorded 20,458 miles, and has recently had the common 'sticky button' malady corrected.

This would be a wonderful 612 Scaglietti to use and enjoy, with the important benefit of the wonderful six-speed manual transmission.
