Ferrari 612 Scaglietti in Chennai-----erm, it is a Toyota Sera

Nitin · 22nd January 2008, 20:27

I hope its the 612.Or even the 599 is fine..

There are too many of the 360s & 430s..time for something different.

Most probably, these are the 612's that are imported for the all India trip. IIRC, some international journalists were to tour India around this time in scaglietti's.

Cyrus43 · 22nd January 2008, 23:12

WHATTT??
are you serious nitrous..it was a sera and was mistaken to be a ferrari??....noooo

AMATMO · 22nd January 2008, 23:22

a ferrari 612 has black grills in the front,a toyota sera does not have grills.then how could they even find it confusing??

nitrous · 22nd January 2008, 23:22

Thats what I heard from a guy who really knows his cars and humbles me when it comes to makes and models from any era or any place.
He's never gone wrong.

Nitin · 23rd January 2008, 00:59

Ah well..if it is true,and it indeed is a Sera & not the 612/599.. Thats ok. We'll see these mean machines in India someday or the other.

Mistaking a Sera for a 612?? Adi, if that's true you're due for a flogging!!
