Ferrari 612 Scaglietti : Performance review, buyers guide - Tim's Enthusiast Garage S4 E2

- The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is a V12 Ferrari. That's pretty much the most important thing here. While styling and purpose of 2+2 Ferrari has long divided opinion it's Long rumored that cars like the Mondial and 400i were among Enzo Ferrari's personal favourites. Let road cars be road cars and race cars be race cars. This is a lovely road car, room enough for 4 real adults but when you hustle it the most amazing thing happens- it feels small, svelte and EAGER. 0-62 arriving in 4.0 flat and the 540 hp V12 singing all the way to redline. This is jewel of a car.

Just found the channel. This is a bucket list car for me ! Hope to grab one up in the next year or two.
Thanks for watching!!
It is pronounced: Skal-yetti. There's no G sound. This car is stunning in black. Subtle and discreet it reeks of old money and class. V12 Ferrari ownership should be on every gentleman's bucket list.
I also say Lancia not Lancha so, it’s a little bit of the American in me that I’m not going to shy away from. These are frequently referred to as “skags” here in the states. Either way I appreciate you watching and your grace for my pronunciation 😚
Excellent. Great job Austin on that recovery
I wish I had footage of us throwing things at the branch for like a half hour or more 🤣
Great channel, I discovered you while reminiscing about my scirroco. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
Tim: *painstakingly explaining all the beautiful aspects of a finely-crafted Italian V12 GT car*
Me, visibly shaking: "Take out that head unit and throw it into the sun!"
Hahaha. Still have the factory head unit. It’s an alpine with Bluetooth . This comment wins a medal 🏅
@@TimsEnthusiastGarage ya... Not sure why you'd use the factory one. No way I'd leave an old head unit in. Just keep it for those that care when you sell it, but otherwise, I want actual modern features and good music, and that requires real parts. It's not like ferraris head unit is a work of art anyway....
@@Tential1 exactly
Great video, great content.
Thanks 🙏
great content
Thanks so much for watching!
great new content.............
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙌
Cool!
Great video. I'm selfish and I'm waiting Lotus material. I still have my 88 S4 4 years ago.
It’s frosty cold here in Ohio but new esprit videos are coming !!
We're here to watch and show support!... and to see if a certain clip made it into the video 😉
Edit : Yes will completely agree it NEEDS an exhaust, that poor V12 isn't being allowed to sing
It did and you’ll want to watch all the way to the end. I have started doing “post credit scenes” 🤣. For real though, thank you for the support my friend. It means the world to me that you are the first comment !!
@@TimsEnthusiastGarage so I saw, there was some good laugher! Glad to see you with your spurs on and back on the horse again. Keep at it.
Wow! nice ;) Thx 4 this movie, Tim - Great job u done ;) It's definitely a car of my dream, same as 3200 gt and 4200 Maserati, Alfa Romeo 4C and GTC 4 Lusso - i like to park all of them long side to my Granturismo Sport MY13'. And i don't care about sticky buttons, or lack of some android/apple car audio - no. Those cars have asoul, and they singing well ;) Kind regards and Happy New 2004 year Tim ;)
I was just speaking with someone about this. I just picked up an Aston Martin V12 and someone asked what radio it had in . I said “I’ll probably never turn it on” . Thanks for watching
The reason why you like the rear 3/4 view so much is because the lines on this car are exactly the same as the last gen Quattroporte....take a look at both cars from the rear and side profile
I'm struggling to think of another car in its class that compares apples to apples: realistic back seat, true GT car that you can drive sedately on a long road trip and arrive in comfort and style and then attack the twisties in with vigor. The Gran Turismo IMO is geared too short to live with as a true GT. And in other ways it's too compromised as well. Rear seats in Astons are a joke, as are XK's. The old 8 series from BMW and the 928 from Porsche are the only cars I can think of that enter my mind and the performance of those cars is around 50% of this car or less.
I'm in love with the styling of this car, especially its hips. I agree with you, Tim. The entire rear end is prototypical Ferrari. If I owned it, I'd stare at its hips and @$$ probably more than its red heads.
Yes, you clearly “get it” . The 4 seat Ferrari are not for everyone as I said in the video. It’s funny, some people have such a visceral reaction to a non mid engined car but for many the 550/575 , 456/612 , 599/F12 are actually more connected to 60s era Ferrari greatness than the mid engined volume production models. I also don’t think people understand “Scaglietti as a coach builder “ . For me that is a huge part of the allure. The more time you spend with the car, the more you drive it, you really come to see it as a bit of a Bargain because other than the 90s Continental T and R by Mulliner there really is no other ultra exclusive coach built 4 seat car. This thing has a 199-204 top speed depending on the press you follow. It really is a class of one.
Hey Tim! I know this is strange but I just came across your mk6 r video from years back. Wondering if you could enlighten me with the specs of those Enkei rs05rr’s. Thanks!
I believe 18x8 and et 35 or 32
Tim I've always been a huge fan of the 612, it's stunning and pure class to me. We have very similar taste in cars, I have the 90th anniversary gransport Spyder and a Ferrari FF ( was gonna buy a 612 but the deal fell through so I bought the FF instead but might still pull the trigger on the 612....it will only go up in value! I also have a QP GTS 2011 which is one of my favourite cars. I recently ordered the mc20 but won't get till spring 23....not sure how it will compare to v12 and V8 NA engines
I love the FF. It’s replacement looks fussy by comparison. The 612 does feel a bit more special and maybe more “vintage” Ferrari. The 90th anny is without peer so I would hang on to that if you are a “collector”
@@TimsEnthusiastGarage couldn't agree more about what you said about the FF.....it looks more like a 4 seat f12 not a wagon like the lusso....my Spyder only has 15k on her and is number 90 of 90....I also had a gransport but recently got rid of it....trying to find a Mc victory
@@robertcomella8486 wow. We have such similar taste. I actually bought a unique colour 4200 I have been turning into a GS because I couldn’t find an MC.
@@TimsEnthusiastGarage wow..very cool...what's the colour and is it manual? I live in Toronto and know someone who has a blue Mc victory...I'm trying to get him to sell it to me...it only has 7500 kms (4000 miles approx) hopefully we can strike a deal
@@robertcomella8486 having driven a few manuals I have to be honest, I think the F1 is the right box for the car . This car is Luna blue Pearl with blue and grey leather, GS wheels, secondary cat deleted, GS center section exhaust and GS software
I agree on the exhaust sound, but it has soooo much torque with that V-12. I'd take the 612 over any Ferrari V-8 twin-turbo, so would Enzo. Mine is a 2005.
enjoy your car! it remains a somewhat hidden gem
So is this the same F1 gearbox as found in the equivalent Maseratis?
The clutch hydraulics are all the same but they aren’t directly interchangeable though very similar
You don't need an exhaust, you need a 612 with the HGT-S or HGT-C pack ;)
On top of the factory sport exhaust, you get suspension and gearbox tweaks. Oh and Quattroporte, I guess you need to try the Sport GT S.
Cheers!
Had a GT and a GT S. Both were pretty Great. I haven't driven an HGT-C, I have heard it is the business. Cheers, Thanks for watching!
How does it compare to the GranSport? I think the GS nudges it for looks. I am long term GS owner but always considering what next...
I still have a GS. Value wise, it’s hard to beat. The Ferrari is “nicer” in almost every single way. Ultimately it’s faster and has higher thresholds for most metrics. It would need an exhaust but even though it is a bigger car weighs about the same due to being aluminum. It’s a brilliant and faster alternative. That being said , it’s a good bit more. You would like it. It’s crazy how focused and quick it feels when hustled, it’s kind of like an e39 M5 in that way. You never expect that car to corner but it does. Cheers!
Hey Tim, another great video, the 612 is the odd one out, im not calling it the ugly duckling but its just got an odd looking front end. I'm really waiting for the next Video of the Lotus. Hows it going?
Thanks for watching. It def looks better in dark colours. Light hues highlight some of the frumpiness. Lotus has started back up. The engine and trans are split and being rebuilt. Update soon
@@TimsEnthusiastGarage awesome news on Lotus. Can't wait too watch it. Always loved the Esprit. You're correct on the 612 reg darker colours.
Never thought the 612 was a looker butnits growing on me a lot . Especially when compared to its current model equivalent the purosangue , that thing is horrific !
The HGTS does have a race-style exhaust. Check out JayEmm on Cars review of my 612 HGTS here on RUclips
I know James, actually have known him for a some years now. Genuinely good bloke. Thanks for watching
How much to change the clutch?
4500 parts and labor
Corvette came looking for trouble. lol
That was completely spontaneous and when I got off at the next exit he and his girl friend were literally like “hell yeah man, hell yeah! “ they had the biggest smiles on their faces 🤣
My favorite part of this car: HIPS
Yes. The rear 3/4 view is by car the most pleasing to my eye. Thanks for watching !!
Hmmm as usual Tim is a bad influence on me. Now on the internet looking at 612's
I will actually be representing this car and a few others on BaT in the next 30 days or so .
What ruins cars like this is maintenance and servicing costs.
You def have to have a trusted independent. The 30k service at dealer is 15,000. 3,800 by my local factory trained tech

😂 hilarious video
This is a comedy sketch right
I thought I would check some of your videos for context, there were none. I get it. Thanks for the view 🤷🏼♂️
