Like it was yesterday the time when the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti appears, but it has been five years – and it’s time to change the typical, traditional mid-life cycle of a model. So far, developments will be mostly around the front of the car – the focus will be on a sharp and modern lines. However, you can expect, and possibly more environmentally friendly drive system. And while previously allegedly working on a facelift of the model, the perceived “test mule” indicates something different. Indeed, key features such as extended hood, new details on the hood and new exhausts formation suggest that the video model is much more than just a facelift. It is believed that the new model Ferrari will appear until 2011, but before that can be presented and possible variant of V12 unit. The new engine should reduce CO2 emissions by 40% compared with current version, which will help to achieve domestic objectives Ferrari – reducing the total CO2 emissions by 40% by 2012. If the message proves to be true, then the new Scaglietti should return fuel consumption of 12.3 l/100 km. In this model, the cost is estimated at 20.5 l/100 km. Otherwise you can expect bigger and aggressive air intakes, as well as details around the front grille borrowed from the style of California.
We do not expect to have a jump in power as the standard 533 hp 612 of you really are quite generous. Otherwise, other rumors include the possibility of integrating a system of four-wheel drive, and the presence of a possible hybrid option. Expect to see more than 612 updated during the development of the model – at the end of 2009 or early 2010.
