Ferrari Scaglietti

Bolognese with that sir?

---

Ferrari have released more pictures of their new 2+2 and have confirmed the name as the rather pasta-like 'Scaglietti'.

The 1840kg front engined coupe makes use of an all aluminium space frame chassis housing a front mounted 5748cc V12 good for 540bhp at 7250rpm. The gearbox is rear mounted and the change mechanism is a new electro hydraulic set up with six ratios.

The body has been designed by Pininfarina and is an evolution of the 456 ingredients rather than being anything particularly radical - some might even say it looks a bit ordinary in the pictures. Interior space is improved and the boot capacity is 25% bigger than the outgoing 456's.

Ferrari claim a top speed of 195mph and 60mph reached in 4.2 seconds.

Who is Scaglietti?

Looks like a fiat coupe from the front.

After looking at it for a few day's I've decided it looks rather ugly. If I were in a position to do so, I'd bag an immaculate 550 or 575 until the next restyle comes along. Oh to be loaded.
