Ferrari had reasons to abandon manual gear boxes since the 2012 California. Only two or three converts were ever sold with a stick shift, but the lower price rate behind the death of the gatened shifter was not the only factor. Back in 2016, former Tech Boss Michael Letters explained that there is no manual gear box that is able to perform the double clutch automatic automatic. However, fans continue to request manual.
For these people, Ferrari offers an easy solution: buy used car. While Evo The magazine asked the company’s chief marketing and commercial officer if there was a plan to bring back the manual, Enrico Gelira gave a clear answer: “We already have many of our classic cars.” His advice for everyone who wants to keep his gears in line? “Buy and restore our wonderful classic.”

“We have this (manual transmission), and we encourage customers to discover the beauty of classic car.” We offer a coursal pilot program with classic cars because many people do not know how to run the manual. This is an important experience we can present with our classic currently. “
Nevertheless, all hope is over. Ferrari has not ruled out the possibility of resurrection for a few selected people. Earlier this year, Chief Product Development Officer Gianmia Filagenzi said that three pedal setups for an advanced model in the iCeona series may be understood, the same lineup that automatically includes Monza SP1/SP2 and Datoona SP3. According to Philjini, people who can afford multi -million dollars of priority horses “are already asking for it.”
Although the customs are mostly high -end sports cars, Porsche has achieved great success with a 911 special edition equipped with clutch pedal. Ferrari can justify the investment by charging heavy premiums, which his most wealthy client will likely be ready to pay. A new model with a traditional shifter will also stand as a rock solid investment, in view of the fragility of such an event.
But hesitation is understandable to bring back Ferrari’s manual. After a record sale last year, the company already has a backbone of orders up to 2027. In addition, the rapid advanced safety and the help of the driver make the system more expensive in developing manuals. Extract regulations also play a role, as modern automotics are usually more effective than equal stick shifts. Even Ferrari has to meet the fleet emissions goals, where every gram is counted, especially in Europe.
A final manual ferry with a water -giving price to overcome all these challenges? This is probably a sure. All of this depends on how many small fortunes are willing to suppress what will be the last possibility of the generation.
