THE BODY-MAKER

WHO IS SERGIO SCAGLIETTI?


Sergio Scaglietti is the most famous and
esteemed coach-builder in the world.
His masterpieces, most of which Ferrari,
have been the stars of the most famous
historic races (Mille Miglia, Le Mans,
etc) and of important technological,
aerodynamic and design innovations.
Cars with elegant and sinuous
silhouettes auctioned today at
“Guinness Records” values.
Unique hand crafted pieces of art, which
have been of inspiration to several
renowned architects, designers and
fashion stylists as Ralph Laurent who
has always declared he took inspiration
from the shapes of his cars collection
for the creation of his models.
At a time when series car making was still in its infancy at his company, Mr. Enzo Ferrari would
manufacture only the rolling chassis and drivetrain. For the bodies, Enzo employed several different
coach-builders to “clothe” his machines. Performance was Enzo’s utmost concern and thus, styling came
second. Still, he was acutely aware of how styling impacted peoples’ perception of his company and the
cars that bore his name. Luckily Ferrari’s victories on racetracks caused the industry’s bespoke coach-
building companies to want to work with the firm, and show what they could do on the Ferrari chassis.
One of these firms was Carrozzeria Scaglietti.
Mr. Sergio Scaglietti, got his start working on Scuderia Ferrari’s Alfa Romeos (then Alfa’s racing arm)
before World War II. After the war he opened a repair shop in Maranello, not far from the Ferrari factory,
where he primarily repaired the bodywork of damaged race cars for gentleman racers. When one such
racer brought his damaged race car to Sergio’s workshop, the quality of the repairs and rebodying caught
Enzo’s eye, and by 1955 Sergio was put in charge of bodying the majority of Ferrari’s competition cars.
Additionally, Sergio secured a loan from Enzo himself to start his own coach-building film, the
aforementioned Carrozzeria Scaglietti. This was quite an honor because at the time there were quite a
few established coach-builders who already worked with Ferrari including Bertone, Zagato, Vignale,
Touring, and Pininfarina. Sergio won Enzo’s trust not only because of his skills with metal, but also
because of his relationship with, and support for, Enzo’s son, Dino, who died in 1956.
With Scaglietti now an officially sanctioned Ferrari coach builder, he received chassis’s directly from the
Ferrari factory for coachwork. By his own admission, he designed all his shapes “by [his] eyes
alone,” letting his own “good taste, understanding of aerodynamics, style, and function” dictate
his designs. He rarely drew out his designs in advance, instead preferring to shape the body directly over
the chassis. The fruit that was borne of this collaboration includes some of the most memorable, and
today coveted cars, including the 500 Mondial, 250 Monza, and the Testa Rossa. Additionally, he
transformed many of Pininfarina’s drawings into reality, vehicles such as the 1957 California Spyder, 1962
250GTO, and 1967 275GTB.

In the late 1960s, however, with his firm struggling because of labor troubles (this was Italy after all),
Sergio took the opportunity to join Enzo in a sale of his business to Fiat. He continued managing his
coach-building firm until his retirement in the mid-1980s. Today, the Scaglietti brand is wholly owned by
Ferrari. Ferrari’s 612 Scaglietti model, and the Carrozzeria Scaglietti customization program, were named
for Sergio.

Scaglietti died at his home in Modena on November 20, 2011 at the age of 91. Whilst he may not have
been the most varied or prolific of coach-builders or designers, it may be said that he was responsible for
arguably the most beautiful era of Ferraris.
