Overview
- Ferrari unveiled the 12Cilindri Manuale on July 3, 2026 as a limited, tailor‑made run of 1,499 cars priced at about €590,000.
- The model uses a new “Manuale by‑wire” system that links an H‑gate lever and an angular‑sensor clutch pedal to the existing eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission so drivers can use the first six gears plus reverse or select full automatic.
- Engineers added tactile and acoustic feedback, a passive clutch load curve and real‑time hydraulic actuation so shifts feel like a traditional manual while electronics and mechanical locks prevent damage from unsafe gear selections.
- Interior and control changes were made to prioritize the analog ritual of shifting, including a redesigned tunnel with a gated six‑pattern, a round aluminium knob, removal of steering‑wheel paddles and a restored mechanical start/stop.
- Ferrari says the project took roughly four years to develop, frames the 1,499 number as a heritage reference to its first V12, and positions the car as a collector‑focused offering that could influence future models.
