The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale will offer the greatest driving experience

Few supercars have a manual gearbox; almost all of them use automatic transmissions. But there are those who prefer to enjoy driving in the purest manual style. The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale delivers that experience, since it uses a manual gearbox, albeit with the most advanced technology. The manual gearbox in this spectacular model is based on by-wire technology, meaning it has no mechanical linkages and operates through an electronic system.

The engineers at Ferrari have managed to convey the physical experience of a manual gearbox, even though the transmission’s work has been transferred to a high-tech system developed in-house by the marque. This gearbox allows the driver to retain control of the gears in the first six positions and reverse, although they can also opt for automatic mode and completely forget about changing ratios.

This gearbox offers all the efficiency of the eight-speed DCT gearbox of Ferrari, with the presence of a gear lever that gives the driver the sensation of a manual gearbox. Every detail makes the user feel as if they are driving a traditional manual gearbox, including the sound produced when changing gear.

The design of all the elements, such as the central tunnel, the gear lever, the knob, the grille and the pedals, reinterprets the classic gearbox of Ferrari. The gear gate recovers the six-speed and reverse layout at the upper left. The circular knob features a backlit screen-printed display indicating whether it is in automatic or manual mode.

The exclusivity of this model, of which only 1,499 units will be built, is further underlined by a treatment from the Tailor Made department. This equipment package is not merely an extension of the model range, but shows a specific differentiation from the rest of the variants, giving it a personality of its own.

The 12Cilindri logo, laser-engraved on the side badge, is accompanied by lines on the front apron and rear spoilers, paying homage to the Ferrari 365 GTB/4. The Ferrari shield receives a specific treatment: five-spoke forged wheels created for this variant and sill protectors with the engraved logo, offering a distinct and defined look.
