Doug DeMuro gives the 2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti a strongly positive 79/100 OctaneScore, praising it as a surprisingly capable grand touring car that excels in performance and reliability—the V12 delivers 535 horsepower with 0-60 times around 4 seconds, and it's known for being relatively reliable by Ferrari standards. The spacious, luxurious interior makes it genuinely livable for long drives, though the design remains divisive, with critics consistently citing the long, stretched-out proportions as awkward and ungainly. The cabin technology is dated and confusing, from the overly complicated climate controls to electronic buttons that only function when the car is running. The 612 is ideal for buyers seeking an underrated, performance-focused Ferrari that prioritizes engagement and usability over flashy styling.
