Ferrari 's oldest current model, the 612 Scaglietti , is also its least desirable, if marketplace demand is any measure. While the F430 and the 599GTB Fiorano enjoy lengthy waiting lists, Ferrari's flagship can occasionally be bought right off the showroom floor. Does that make it a bad car? Of course not - the least desirable Ferrari is, after all, still a Ferrari . The problem is that the 612's elegant, reserved demeanor is decidedly at odds with the outrageousness that we've come to expect from Maranello. The entry-level F430's adolescent break-dance handling and ghetto-blaster V-8 encourage 8500-rpm upshifts and tire-smoke-drenched hole-shots.

Ferrari previously announced their One to One personalization program back at the Geneva Motor Show a few weeks ago and now it's coming to North America. One to One is for those who just can't settle for an "off the rack" Ferrari, as if there is such a thing, yet the program allows purchasers of the new 2008 612 Scaglietti to have their new toys tailored to their whims. Beginning with the Park Avenue store in New York this week customers can work with a specialist to select the materials and accessories they want in their 612 to create a truly bespoke Italian exotic. Once the desired combinations have been chosen, the cars will be assembled in a dedicated corner of the Maranello factory. Along with the usual shrieking V-12, the latest edition of the 612 includes Ferrari's new electrochromic roof and SuperFast electro-hydraulic shifted gearbox. If you have to ask the cost... just peruse the gallery and drool. © Source: autoblog We need your comments below >>

Last week, the gorgeous Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Russian Edition was exhibited in Moscow by Barviha Luxury Village. Only five special edition cars have been put into productions for the uber-rich Russians. The four-seat Berlinetta touts exclusive interior as well as unique logos atypical to the Russian edition. Each car carries a whopping price tag of 425,000 Euros (nearly US $625,790 ). All the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Russian Edition roadsters will come with tinted glass and painted grey metallic. The passenger compartment enjoys brown leather and a special carboxylic tablet with a picture of the Russian flag. Moreover, the head unit will be equipped with a voice recognition system, a navigation system, a 4GB flash disk, support for MP3, and Bluetooth Protocol support.
