After the first round of Ferrari 612 Scaglietti spy shots and the famous bulge in the bonnet, the first Ferrari all-wheel drive hybrid technology is reportedly being developed as more spy shots emerge. The new Ferrari hybrid could appear on the next generation 612 with electric motors powering the front wheels, and the traditional V12 or a turbocharged V8 delivering power to the rear.

Ferrari has denied that the aim is to improve fuel efficiency, saying the system is being developed to enable better handling, though it’s hard to deny that even supercar manufacturers are under pressure to watch their emissions. The news comes from unnamed sources to Autocar, and would seem to confirm the leaked Ferrari hybrid designs of a few months back.

After a five-year career, spy shots of the new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti have appeared, showing a test mule near Maranello. While a more modern and nastier look is likely to be the focus, we could also see some new engine options, with Ferrari experimenting with its environmental qualifications on this very model.

According to reports, key changes to the body kit of the car mean this 612 Scaglietti could be fitted with quite a different powertrain. A longer nose and wheelbase, bump in the bonnet and heavily modified exhaust mean this is more than just a touch-up job.

The new 612 Scaglietti should debut sometime in 2011, possibly with a new V12 engine, although the 533 hp is likely to remain roughly that. The aim is to become greener, lowering emissions and fuel consumption, and possibly even using Ferrari’s Insertable 4×4 system or creating the first Ferrari hybrid.

The words “600 GTB Coming Soon” appeared for a few brief minutes on Ferrari’s press site, but the appearance has since been denied by Ferrari. The 600 GTB could be the evolution of the 612 Scaglietti, of which we’ve seen some spy shots.

The plan for the new 612 Scaglietti is to reduce significantly fuel consumption and emissions without impacting adversely on performance. According to some reports, the GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) could also be a development on the 599 Fiorano, with modifications to the V12 engine.

The new Ferrari 458 Italia seems to be the inspiration for most of this work, with the 4.5 litre V8 engine at 570 hp producing 320 g/km of CO2 and consuming 13.7 litres of fuel per 100 km.

After the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti spy shot, more details have been released regarding the updated model. In addition to the changes in the headlights and the line of the bonnet, the major renovations have been done to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, currently at 470 g/km.

While it feels strange to be talking about fuel consumption and emissions with a 12 cylinder under the bonnet, they have become a keen priority even for the Ferrari supercar category.

The rest of the 612 Scaglietti should remain the same, including the current 5.7 litre V12 engine with 540 hp. Top speed is 320 km/hr and only 4.2 seconds to reach 100 km/hr. The presentation is expected for the 2010 Geneva motor show, with sales to start in summer of that year.

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti has taken on a few changes, looking more like a 599 to cover its age. After six years, the 612 has a redesigned front and air intakes, as seen in these 612 spy shots from Auto Week.

The 612 Scaglietti will continue until 2011, when it will eventually be substituted by a brand new coupé designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. According to reports, the next Scaglietti will consume just 12.3 l/100 km compared to the current 20.5.

In the July issue of the EVO magazine, the Ferrari “one-off” project has been revisited - a project that creates real and unique models. We had already seen that Ferrari was interested in launching new projects with the best international automobile signatures, and this news confirms the rumours.

In addition to the One to One scaglietti personalisation program whereby customers can choose finishes, colours and accessories, planned for the entire Ferrari range in the future, there will also be the possibility of having your own custom series. Armed with at least two million euros, according to the source, the customer will choose a model currently in production and from this basis, his own car will emerge.

Chassis, engine and airbag will have to remain the same, while the rest can be exclusively designed and created, and all the materials will be delivered to the customer. No SUVs, station wagons or sedans are the only requests from the company, so putting paid to the rumours of recent months.

Ferrari has recently presented a special 612 Scaglietti, with the aim of revealing a new personalisation program, One to One, announced in Geneva. The news was released at the showroom on Park Avenue, New York, and will allow customers of the Cavallino gt to create, down to the last detail, their own tailored Ferrari.

New options include what was already available with the “Programma Carrozzeria Scaglietti” (Scaglietti body-work program), launched in 2006, increasing the possible combinations. At Maranello there will even be a dedicated area where customers can tinker with their choices, almost as in a dream fun park.

The 612 that was shown off for this interesting program was equipped with many pearls, from the electro-chromatic roof (like that of the 575M Superamerica), down to a series of mechanical updates such as the Superfast shift, lighter clutch and the Manettino, inherited from the more sporty Maranello models.
