    Pardon me for being a 612 ignoramus, but how do you properly pronounce "Scaglietti," and what exactly is a "Scaglietti?"

    Thanks. Now I know. But this begs my next question, is the 612 officially called just the "612" and has it become an accepted practice of tagging the "Scaglietti" after the 612 designation just because it is a Scaglietti designed body, or is the official designation from Ferrari "612 Scaglietti?" I did read an article in Forza awhile back about a Zagato bodied 612.

    The official name is 612 Scaglietti; 612 Scaglietti F1 if the car has an F1 transmission. Ferrari now owns Carrozzeria Scaglietti, who bodied the 612; but the design was penned at Pininfarina.

    I don't know if Zagato ever bodied a 612; though several 575Ms were rebodied by Zagato (575 GTZ). Giugiaro rebodied a 612 Scaglietti as commemoration of his 50 years in the business; it's known as the GG50.
