Overview
- Ferrari officially revealed the 12Cilindri Manuale on Monday, July 6, 2026, and said the car uses a new Manuale by‑wire system that maps a physical clutch pedal and gated shifter to the existing 8‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox.
- The Manuale keeps the standard 6.5‑litre naturally aspirated V12 with 830 hp, 678 Nm of torque and a 9,500 rpm redline while Ferrari says published performance is unchanged, including 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a 340 km/h top speed.
- Ferrari engineered pedal resistance, gate clicks, sensor feedback and software lockouts to replicate clutch engagement, heel‑and‑toe downshifts and the risk of stalling while preventing inputs that would damage the transmission.
- Production is strictly limited to 1,499 examples tied to Ferrari’s Tailor Made allocation with MotorBeam reporting a starting price of about €590,000, and company messaging positions the model as a collector‑focused offering with bespoke finishes.
- The project signals a new way to restore analogue engagement without reengineering a mechanical gearbox, a move that could let other makers use clutch‑by‑wire systems to bring manual feel back to performance cars if suppliers can cut costs.
