Overview
- Ferrari unveiled the 12Cilindri Manuale as a 1,499‑unit Tailor Made special that starts at €590,000 in Italy and will begin customer deliveries in the first quarter of next year.
- The car presents a three‑pedal layout and a polished six‑speed gated shifter whose clutch and lever send electronic signals to a dedicated Manuale By‑Wire module rather than a direct mechanical linkage.
- The by‑wire module uses sensors and kinematic mechanisms to mimic the loads of gear synchronization and clutch engagement and includes safeguards that can prevent damaging shifts while still allowing realistic outcomes such as a stuttered launch or a stall in some cases.
- Under the hood sits the unchanged naturally aspirated 6.5‑litre V12 rated at about 830 hp with a 9,500 rpm redline, with Ferrari quoting 0–62 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed above 211 mph.
- Ferrari frames the release as a heritage‑focused rebuttal to mixed reactions to its new Luce EV and as part of a longer plan that keeps petrol and hybrid models central while growing EVs to roughly 20% of the lineup by 2030.
