Driving around this afternoon in south Bellevue near BCC and came
across the first 612 Scaglietti I've seen in person.
It was black and looked positively EVIL. It was sitting at a cross street waiting to turn so I only saw it from the side and front. The shape from the side combined with the grille shape and front bodywork made it look like a jaguar lunging or a shark about to strike. If a black 612 came up behind a Geo Metro at 120mph it would scare that weeny little car right off the road.
He turned my way and was several cars behind me. I was hoping he'd move up and I'd catch him at a light so I could hear the exhaust note but alas, he turned off and went a different direction. Drat.
Like the 360, it can look a bit odd in photos but fares much better in person, at least in this color.
