612 Scaglietti (2004 to 2010)

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (2004–2010) serves as the elder statesman of the mid-2000s Ferrari lineup, offering a genuine four-adult seating capacity within an all-aluminium spaceframe that honours the coachbuilding legacy of Sergio Scaglietti. In the 2026 Australian market, the 612 has moved past its steepest depreciation curve and is increasingly sought after by V12 purists who appreciate its "stealth wealth" presence and the fact that it was the final Ferrari V12 to use a rubber timing belt (requiring a major service roughly every four to five years). The desirability of the 612 is highly stratified: the late-production One-to-One (OTO) models from 2008 onwards—identifiable by their steering wheel manettino, electrochromic glass roofs, and the faster "Superfast" gearbox from the 599—are the premier collector choice. The buyer pool in Australia consists of lifestyle-oriented collectors and interstate tourers who value the car's 540hp (397kW) long-distance capability, though they remain cautious of the "sticky switch" interior degradation common in our harsh UV climate and the high replacement costs of the carbon-ceramic brakes (CCM) found on HGTC-package cars. Because right-hand-drive (RHD) production was limited to only a few hundred units globally, Australian-delivered 612s with a complete logbook history from local specialists remain highly liquid assets, often preferred over UK imports due to their typically lower-mileage lives in local collections.
