612 SCAGLIETTI info
The most important objective for the new 2+2 612 Scaglietti project was to ensure the car would have the handling and road-holding normally expected of Ferrari's more sporty models. To achieve this the body has been built entirely of aluminium, which provides extremely high structural rigidity while significantly reducing weight. Compared with the 456M, the 612 Scaglietti weighs 60 kg less and the rigidity/weight ratio is 60% higher.
The V12 is positioned as far back as possible in the engine compartment to optimise weight distribution. For the first time the TSC - Traction and Stability Control - makes its appearance on a Ferrari, a unit that governs all the car's safety systems (ABS, ASR and EBD) and Skyhook dampers to ensure maximum control. But a Ferrari always puts the driver first and so it's also possible to disengage the TSC and enjoy an exciting session on the circuit.
