Ferrari has brought back the manual… or has it? 🤔

At first glance, the new Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale looks like every petrolhead’s dream. A glorious open-gated gear lever. Three pedals. A naturally aspirated V12.

Then you discover the truth.

It’s still an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

So what exactly has Ferrari created? Is this the future of driver engagement, combining the best of manual and automatic? Or is it simply a brilliantly engineered illusion?

I’ve dug into the technology behind Ferrari’s revolutionary Manuale By-Wire system to explain exactly how it works, why it can even stall the engine, and whether this really deserves to be called a manual gearbox.

I’d genuinely love to know where you stand on this one.

Would you buy it, or is only a mechanically linked manual the real thing?
