Ferrari unveils limited-edition V12 manual supercar to celebrate classic driving experience
Italian luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari has introduced a limited-edition V12 model equipped with a manual gearbox, reaffirming its commitment to traditional driving enthusiasts while continuing its broader transition toward electrification.
The new 12Cilindri Manuale combines Ferrari's naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine with an innovative manual transmission system, offering drivers a more engaging experience without abandoning the technological advances of modern performance engineering.
Limited production targets collectors
Ferrari will build 1,499 examples of the 12Cilindri Manuale, positioning the model as an exclusive addition to its special-series portfolio.
The supercar carries a starting price of €590,000, underscoring its appeal to collectors and enthusiasts seeking a rare combination of high-performance engineering and traditional driver involvement.
The launch comes at a time when demand for exclusive, limited-production models remains strong despite the automotive industry's accelerating shift toward electrification.
Modern technology meets classic shifting
At the heart of the new model is Ferrari's "Manuale by-wire" system, which is designed to reproduce the tactile feel of a conventional manual gearbox while incorporating the speed and efficiency of modern dual-clutch transmission technology.
The company says the system delivers the familiar experience of using a gear lever while benefiting from advanced electronic controls that optimize performance and reliability.
The approach reflects Ferrari's effort to preserve the emotional connection associated with manual driving while adapting it to contemporary engineering standards.
Strategic launch follows first electric Ferrari
The introduction of the 12Cilindri Manuale comes only weeks after Ferrari revealed its first fully electric vehicle, a debut that generated mixed reactions among enthusiasts and industry observers.
By expanding its range with a manual V12 model, Ferrari is reinforcing a product strategy that balances heritage with innovation. Its current lineup spans traditional petrol-powered sports cars, hybrid performance models and, now, battery-electric vehicles.
The latest release demonstrates the company's intention to continue serving long-time Ferrari enthusiasts even as the luxury performance car market evolves toward lower-emission technologies.
