Serenity, Redefined. The 2018 Scagliati La Serenissima.
music at the reveal event:
Scagliati Motori SpA is proud to present the 2018 La Serenissima, the finest luxury grand touring automobile in the world. Born from over seven decades of building some of the finest automobiles on the planet, the La Serenissima incorporates the rich history of Venetian craftsmanship with cutting edge technology to produce a driving experience like no other.
SCALE Architecture - Lean, Mean And Green.
For the first time in our history, Scagliati has developed and deployed an all-carbon fibre architecture for one of our grand touring cars. Developed in close assocation with CMW Aerospace, the Scagliati Carbon-Fiber Automobile, Longitudinal Extensible architecture, or SCALE for short, provides unmatched stiffness and rigidity, making this the safest Scagliati ever built, earning the very highest marks in passenger protection, while at the same time saving a considerable amount of weight - as much as 220 kilograms - over its predecessors. SCALE provides a flexible and versatile architecture that will eventually underpin all Scagliatis well into the future, across all model lines. This weight savings, combined with the aerodynamic design and more efficient engine lineup, means that the La Serenissima achieves an official fuel economy rating of 11.6 L/100km in the Automation Unified Fuel Economy Standard, the most efficient V12 grand touring automobile from Scagliati to date.
The flexibility of the SCALE architecture allows Scagliati to unify their flagship two- and four-door grand touring models as one model for the very first time in our history, helping to ensure that nothing but the best possible automobiles leave our state-of-the-art factory.
Amadeo Modular Engine - Powering The Future.
New for 2018 is the Scagliati Amadeo family of engines. Named after our company’s founder, the Amadeo engine architecture can be used in six, eight and twelve cylinder models, providing the foundation for all future Scagliati cars. All Amadeo engines will share common elements; a sixty-degree vee-spacing with common bore spacings and deck heights, two turbochargers with intercooling and direct fuel injection, along with variable valve timing and lift to produce maximum power, yet returning superior driving dynamics and fuel efficiency. Compared to the outgoing Girotto V12, the Amadeo V12, as found in the La Serenissima and La Serenissima QP, produces more horsepower and torque over a much wider rev range, all while reducing fuel consumption by as much as five percent.
The Amadeo engine family has considerable headroom for both growth and tuning, with the base 5-litre V12 available in both 651-horsepower and 718-horsepower versions, the latter of which powering the sporty La Serenissima T and TF versions. Future growth has been built into the Amadeo engines, as well as the capability to be combined with electric hybridisation and other technologies to further improve efficiency and the driving experience alike.
Scagliati Pro-Active Supension - Harnessing The Fury.
Power is nothing without control, and we at Scagliati have gone to great lengths to ensure our cars are refined and sumptuous over the road, all while retaining the sporting character that has defined Scagliatis from the very first. Double wishbone front suspension and an advanced, multi-link rear suspension, combined with active ride control and electronic anti-roll bars, ensure that the La Serenissima can handle even the most demanding of pilots and road conditions with ease. Carbon ceramic brakes front and rear provide repeated safe and controllable stops from the La Serenissima’s top speed of 330 kilometres per hour, and work in conjunction with the active suspension and the seven-speed dual clutch gearbox as the cornerstones of the CAST (Corsa, Attivo, Stradale, Tempo) system, providing advanced stability, traction and launch control to all La Serenissimas. Finishing off the look and feel of the La Serenissima are the standard seven-spoke, 20-inch, optional fifteen-spoke 20-inch or optional dual-five-spoke 21-inch wheels, wearing high-performance tires as standard or ultra-high-performance tires as optional.
Interior - Serenity, Defined.
As with all Scagliati automobiles, the La Serenissima rewards lucky owners with a sumptuous and serene driving experience. The interior can be covered in a wide range of materials, from the finest of Italian leathers, chosen for their softness and uniformity of grain, to the most cutting-edge sustainable interior coverings, in any colour and combination that the owner desires. The accent materials are chosen to complement the textiles, selected from a range of wood with various treatments, several metals in multiple finishes as well as our unique machined and hand-polished carbon-fiber forgings. All of these fine materials are nothing, however, without the fastidious attention to detail afforded by our team of expert craftsmen and women, working in the finest traditions of centuries of Venetian artisans, who put a combined 150 man-hours into each interior.
Technology is front and center for the pilot in the La Serenissima, with a 2500-watt, 22-speaker Losconi audio system as standard in all models, as well as an advanced head-up display incorporating a synthetic vision system developed with the help of CMW Aerospace. Using a pair of infrared sensors integrated into each headlight housing, the Scagliati Enhanced Vision Environment, or SEVE for short, provides a stereoscopic, panoramic view ahead of the car projected in real-time on the windscreen, able to see up to ten times further than the human eye, and augmented by motion detection algorithms to highlight pedestrians or animals ahead. Wireless connectivity is standard in the La Serenissima, allowing for up to eight devices to connect to the car’s built-in hotspot, and allows for streaming or screencasting from both Android and Apple devices to either of the three screens found inside the car; one built into the centre dash, the other two built into the seat backs for rear passengers.
The technology extends to the driving experience as well, with the familiar Scagliati CAST (Corsa, Attivo, Stradale, Tempo) drive mode selector on the steering wheel switching between shift modes for the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, supension modes as well as configuring the TFT instrument panel and head-up display to provide exactly the information the pilot needs when and where they need it. The La Serenissima incorporates a valet mode, operated from the Smart Key, able to park the car or pull out of a tight space autonomously without the pilot needing to be present inside, and a traffic assist function in the adaptive cruise control can maintain lane presence and spacing at speeds of up to 30 kilometres per hour in heavy traffic.

2018 Scagliati La Sernenissima T and TF - Power Over All.
For those demanding a more thrilling driving exprience, Scagliati has the answer in the all-new 2018 La Serenissima T and TF models. Picking up where the La Serenissima leaves off, the Serenissima T (coupe) and TF (sedan) combines a more power, a much more sporting character with a lightweight interior designed to both coddle and support the pilot while saving roughly 110 kilograms over the base La Serenissima. A more aggressive front-end treatment, quadruple exhaust outlets, satin-finished 21-inch double-five spoke wheels and carbon fiber trim all around the car in place of the traditional Scagliati brightwork signifies the no-nonsense manner of the T and TF models, and helps provide better cooling and aerodynamic stability.
Wider front wheels, along with ultra-high-performance tires, gives dramatically improved handling in conjunction with upsized carbon brakes and more aggressive suspension and CAST settings. The Amadeo V12 engine goes up from 651 to 718 horsepower, thanks to a redesigned intake and turbochargers, giving the car the ability to sprint from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 4.0 seconds, and on to an unlimited top speed of 371 kilometres per hour, making this the fastest production Scagliati ever. Most crucially, however, is that the fundamental character of the La Serenissima is unchanged in this model, with the car supremely comfortable, easy to drive and remarkably efficient for such a vehicle.

Uncompromising. The 2018 Scagliati La Serenissima V8.
We at Scagliati realise that efficiency is a key factor in the decision-making process of many of our valued customers, and we are very aware that we must take an active role in preserving our planet for future generations. At the same time, Scagliatis must all carry on the tradition of supreme luxury and exciting driving dynamics, which is why we are proud to present the 2018 La Serenissima V8 and QP V8.
We have leveraged the Amadeo Modular engine family to produce a compact, efficient, 60-degree turbocharged V8 of 3.33 litres displacement, producing 479 horsepower at 8200 RPM and 358 foot-pounds of torque at 5400 RPM. With this engine in the La Serenissima, it can sprint from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 4.5 seconds and up to its limited top speed of 330 kilometres per hour, while returning a combined 10.0 L/100km and 232 grams of CO2 per kilometre. A considerable weight savings from the smaller engine further adds to the driving experience of the La Serenissima V8, with under 54 percent of the car’s total weight over the front axle.
Inside the La Serenissima V8, you will find exactly the same interior as in its V12-powered siblings, with absolutely no compromise made in the comfort or refinement of the car. All of the quality and attention to detail expected from a Scagliati can be found in the La Serenissima V8, rest assured.
