Ferrari Revives the Manual Driving Experience with the New 12Cilindri Manuale

Ferrari has unveiled the new 12Cilindri Manuale, a limited-edition version of its flagship V12 grand tourer that brings back the excitement of manual gear shifting in a modern way. Limited to just 1,499 units, the model introduces Ferrari’s newly developed Manuale By-Wire system, delivering the feel of a traditional manual gearbox while retaining the precision and usability of the brand’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 830 hp and 678 Nm of torque, the 12Cilindri Manuale accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 340 km/h. The high-revving engine, capable of spinning up to 9,500 rpm, is designed to complement the engaging manual driving experience.

At the heart of the car is Ferrari’s innovative Manuale By-Wire system, featuring a traditional-style gear lever and a clutch-by-wire pedal. The setup recreates the mechanical feel of a classic manual transmission through advanced sensors, precision engineering and specially developed software, while also allowing drivers to switch to automatic mode whenever desired.

Inside, the cabin pays tribute to Ferrari’s iconic manual sports cars with a redesigned centre console, an aluminium gear knob, an updated gear gate and a three-pedal layout. Exclusive Tailor Made finishes, forged wheels, engraved details and unique styling elements further distinguish the limited-edition model.

The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale also comes with Ferrari’s seven-year Genuine Maintenance programme, offering scheduled servicing, genuine parts and factory-trained technicians to ensure long-term performance and peace of mind.
