Paired with the naturally aspirated V12, the new manual selector architecture features a gear lever and clutch-by-wire pedal, blending high-precision mechanics with advanced electronics to create a contemporary interpretation of manual gear changes. The Manuale by-wire delivers an authentic manual driving experience while retaining all the advantages of Ferrari’s double-clutch transmission (DCT), further strengthening the connection between driver and car, while also offering the convenience of automatic mode.
Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale Highlights:
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale, a limited-edition special series of the Ferrari 12Cilindri, introduces Ferrari’s new in-house-developed Manuale By-Wire system, which delivers an authentic manual driving experience while retaining all the advantages of Ferrari’s dual-clutch transmission (DCT), further enhancing the direct interaction between driver and car.
The naturally aspirated V12 is paired with the new manual command architecture, featuring a gear lever and a clutch-by-wire pedal, which combines high-precision mechanics and electronics to offer a modern take on manual gear changes, alongside the option to drive in automatic mode.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale (available in a limited run of 1,499) draws on Ferrari’s Tailor Made personalisation programme, offering exclusive specifications in which craftsmanship, design, and attention to detail come together more harmoniously than ever

The soul of the Prancing Horse's iconic Gran Turismo cars meets advanced dynamics to deliver driving emotion, performance and comfort.
Born from two key innovations - the manual shift-by-wire command and the clutch-by-wire pedal - the new Manuale By-Wire transmission system brings a raw physical intensity back to the heart of the V12 experience.
This system combines analogue spirit with leading-edge technology, delivering total control and a perfect balance between gear shifting, clutch and throttle.
Share KINEMATIC MECHANISM
The Manuale By-Wire system is designed to preserve the classic gear-shifting experience - defined by physical forces, interaction with the gear shift gate, shift pattern, and loads - while making it compatible with the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The gear lever, clutch-by-wire pedal, and controls for 'Drive', 'Reverse', and 'Neutral' modes send signals to the gearbox control unit, which manages manual inputs whilst leaving the DCT's basic operating logic unchanged.
Pressure applied to the clutch pedal is translated digitally with millimetric accuracy and transmitted by wire to the dual-clutch gearbox control unit, ensuring perfect synchronisation between pedal and lever. The result is an authentic, analogue shifting experience.
To integrate mechanical and electronic components, the Manuale By-Wire system features a dedicated module equipped with sensors and advanced kinematic mechanisms. This accurately recreates the loads associated with every phase of gear shifting: synchronisation, engagement, and disengagement.
AN IDEAL PAIRING
The naturally aspirated V12 is the perfect match for this transmission, due to its ability to rev up to 9,500 rpm and unleash maximum performance at high engine speeds. A seamless connection between driver and car delivers both engagement and comfort, while an automatic mode provides effortless driving when desired.
Share CRAFTED EXCLUSIVITY
The exclusivity of the Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale, designed by the Ferrari Design Studio under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, is further enhanced by a dedicated Tailor Made specification and a series of iconic details that make the car instantly recognisable.
A SOPHISTICATED ENVIRONMENT
Dedicated leather, Alcantara®, and exclusive trims from Maranello's elite personalisation programme enrich the cabin's unique character.
12 CYLINDERS BORN TO THRILL
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale is equipped with Maranello's iconic naturally-aspirated V12 engine, the purest expression of Ferrari's spirit. This version delivers 830 hp of power, while the top engine speed is 9500 rpm.
Some of the developments implemented on this model have already been adopted on the 812 Competizione special series, such as the exhaust system with ceramic catalytic converter, titanium con rods, and pistons made from a lightweight aluminium alloy. Meanwhile, the sliding finger followers - a component derived from Ferrari's experience in Formula 1 - serves to open and close the valves, reducing the coefficient of friction at critical points and significantly improving the performance of the engine.
COOLING LAYOUT
The cooling requirements of the engine and ancillaries demanded a redesign of the car's entire cooling system which resulted in front underbody evacuation being optimised.
The space between the longitudinal elements of the chassis house the engine coolant radiator and air-con circuit condenser, while the oil radiator has been split into two and lies ahead of the front wheels.

- Now just get rid of the iPad screens on the interior and go back to beautiful analog gauges. Then we can say we’re moving automotive design in the right direction. Everyone is sick of having a screen in their face 24/7 and it’s literally making people ill.- These cars has an actual manual transmission:

- This was a good compromise. Ferrari couldn't build a normal manual gearbox that could accept the power of their engines now, so this is an entirely electronically controlled manual gearbox with the manual 'feel' designed into the gear shifter and clutch pedal, even though they really have only taken the place of the paddle shift in that it functions the same way.
- Dear Ferrari, don't listen to those who said "Oh it's not a real manual bla bla bla" They are certainly NOT going to buy it and these people are the reason why car enthusiasts are hated everywhere. To those people who keep trashing this particular Ferrari, you should stop and THINK. It's not Luce, it's not some regular crossover, it's certainly not EV, and it's got V12. In such a short time to come up with this? I have the biggest respect to you guys at Ferrari. Now THIS would be a FUN car to drive. Just know if anyone at Ferrari read this comment, I will gladly say anyday to anyone that you guys at Ferrari, made the right move for this one. Thank you for making this car a reality! Looking forward to see it in action on the road!
