Theses that have been whispered from ear to ear for a long time in the automotive world have finally become reality. The superior sports car manufacturer based in Maranello has made a breakthrough that will excite traditional car enthusiasts. Ferrari 12Cilindri Manualeofficially announced its model. After a long break of about 15 years, the Italian brand, which brought together the clutch pedal and open-lug metal gearshifts with a rearing horse, blends its thoroughbred driving experience with the frontier technology of the digital age.

Classic Spirit and Future Engineering Together: “Manuale By-Wire”

The new Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale comes with a completely patented and innovative technology that is quite different from classical transmission systems. The vehicle does not have an old gearbox physically connected to the transmission; instead of the brand “Manual By Wire”There is an electro-mechanical system named after.

At the center of the vehicle, the 8-speed dual clutch (DCT) automatic transmission that we know from the standard model is preserved. However, a real clutch pedal and aluminum gear lever added to the cabin are supported by special sensors and mechanical resistance systems (spring and cylinder mechanisms). In this way, the driver feels real mechanical resistance, friction and the iconic “click” sound of those old Ferrari models when shifting gears. The software is so sensitive that it even allows the engine to stall if you do not release the clutch at the right time and at the right rate.

Limited Edition and Massive V12 Performance

No compromises have been made on the performance side. Under the long hood of the car, 830 horsepowerproducing and complete 9,500rpmThere is a legendary 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that can rotate. When manual mode is selected, the system limits the driver to 6 forward gears as a tribute to the past; On comfort-oriented long trips, the vehicle can be switched to fully automatic mode and use all 8 gears independently.

This special masterpiece, which will be produced only in the Coupe body type, is Ferrari’s Tailor Madewithin the scope of the personalization program only with 1,499 unitsIt will be limited. The model, which is offered to collectors in Italy with a price tag starting from 590 thousand euros, is already considered one of the most special examples of digital-analog hybrid engineering in automotive history.
