Ferrari has introduced the 12Cilindri Manuale, a limited-edition model that pairs the marque's naturally aspirated V12 engine with a new manual control architecture. According to a company statement, the car features a gear lever and clutch-by-wire pedal to deliver a modern manual driving experience while also offering fully automatic driving capability.
Limited Production Run of 1,499 Units
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale is limited to just 1,499 units. The company noted that this number recalls the displacement of the first Ferrari twelve-cylinder engine produced in 1947, making it an integral part of the model's identity. The car can be driven in fully automatic mode as well.
V12 Engine Specifications and Performance
Powering the Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale is a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine that produces 830 hp and revs up to 9,500 rpm. The car achieves a top speed of over 340 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3.0 seconds. The release stated that the V12 is the ideal engine for enhancing gear change progression and handling, thanks to its rev range and high-rev power character.
Manuale By-Wire System and Interior Design
The new Manuale by-wire system combines Ferrari's eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with a newly developed manual control setup. This includes a gear lever, clutch-by-wire pedal, control panel, and updated transmission software. Inside the cabin, the centre tunnel console, gear lever, gear shift gate, and pedals reinterpret Ferrari's classic manual transmission design in a modern form. The gear shift gate follows a six-speed layout with reverse at the top left, and the aluminium gear knob features a backlit display indicating all six gears and the active driving mode (automatic or manual).
Tailor Made Personalisation Programme
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale is offered through Ferrari's Tailor Made personalisation programme, featuring exclusive specifications that combine bespoke craftsmanship, distinctive design, and meticulous attention to detail.
