Camo Cameo: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti ready for desert storming
Can you see it? Click above to view the camouflaged Ferrari 612 Scaglietti in our gallery
Try playing hide-and-go-seek with a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and you're bound to lose. At over sixteen feet in length, the two-door GT is longer than a Hummer H3 and nearly as long as a Mercedes S-Class. But one owner may have found the key. This desert-camo Prancing Horse was spotted by Ferrari Chat board member "elipinsk" in the wilds of Germany.
Speculation was that it was yet another creation of Bathing Ape founder Nigo, along the same lines as his camouflaged Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bugatti Veyron and classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. We might have placed it among Saddam Hussein's corral of high-end automobiles, but indications are that it actually belongs to a local real estate developer. And not in the Persian Gulf, either, but in Wiesbaden, Germany. The "intriguing" treatment appears to have been done with a vinyl wrap, so at least it can be reversed fairly painlessly, which is more than we can say for its application.

i love it. one of the reasons people buy Ferraris is to be unique or distinctive, and this certainly is. in a world of gold chrome plated SLRs and Escalades on 26" rims, this one is much more to my taste. most of my cargo shorts, which is all i ever wear, are camoflage colored. i'd drive this for sure!

That's a shame then, because Ferraris are derivative and interminably dull.
I think it would be a wonderful prank to airlift this tragedy to the nearest desert and tell the owner the approximate location. With any luck it would still be there the next time Google updates its satellite photos.

Oh yeah, this is awesome! If I had the funds to own a car like this, this is exactly the type of thing I would do to it. There's only so many red or yellow or ??? ones you can look at before they become ho-hum.
Very, very cool.

Shouldn't it be urban camo? Also, why not the digitized pattern, it's much better at breaking up the shape and confusing the enemies.

You can see the car in Frankfurt, Germany. I have seen it in person, and it's definitely not vinyl decals, but paint.

this single handedly counteracts all the crapness and tasteless-ness other people have done with their cars by pimping them to extreme levels.
the guy deserves a medal

This isn't Nigo's of Bape fame... He usually hides his gorilla logo in the camo and I don't see that here.
