Ferrari Revives the Gated Shifter with the New 12Cilindri Manuale
The limited-edition grand tourer uses a six-speed gated shifter and by-wire controls to mimic a manual feel while keeping modern transmission benefits.
- On Friday, July 3, Ferrari launched the limited-edition 12Cilindri Manuale, a 12-cylinder model with a six-speed gated shifter designed to appeal to traditionalists following the mixed reception of the Luce electric vehicle.
- Engineers developed a 'Manuale by-wire' system pairing a 6.5-litre V12 engine delivering 830 horsepower with a three-pedal layout, placing "the relationship between driver input, mechanics, and control at the heart of the driving experience."
- Limited to 1,499 units and starting at €590,000 in Italy, the system allows drivers to stall or perform high-rev shifts, though computers block catastrophic gear changes like sixth-to-first shifts.
- Ferrari pledged to maintain a diverse lineup, targeting electric models at 20% of production by 2030, with the remaining 80% equally split between petrol and hybrid engines.
- All units are Tailor Made creations requiring owners to engage with Maranello's bespoke program, as the company excluded paddle shifters to keep the experience authentic to the manual concept.
