Ferrari equipped the 12Cilindri with a pseudo-manual gearbox

The Ferrari 12Cilindri range includes the Manuale version, an exclusive limited edition of the supercar that brings back the manual transmission with the iconic gated shifter to Maranello cars after a 14-year hiatus. The car’s circulation is limited to 1,499 copies, and the starting price is 590 thousand euros – 190 thousand euros more expensive than the standard version. But there is an important nuance.

In fact, the car uses a standard 8-speed preselective “robot”, but the driver operates three pedals and a gear lever. The electronics are configured so that if the driver makes a mistake, the car’s engine will stall.

Pressing the clutch pedal and moving the lever along steel grooves is read by digital sensors. A special system of springs, cams and actuators perfectly recreates the force, clicks and resistance of a real manual transmission.

As the manufacturer notes, 80% of the thrust is available at 2500 rpm, and the cut-off occurs at 9500 rpm.
