Would you believe it if we said that Ferrari hasn’t offered a manual transmission since 2010!?
Why, you’re asking? Ferrari always wants to be the fastest, and quite simply, you can’t be the fastest with a manual gearbox. Automatic transmissions have become so shit hot in recent years that the only way of shaving valuable tenths of a second off a 0-100 km/h squirt is by letting computers do the legwork.

After confirming that all the necessary parts were still available from Ferrari, it took a year of re-pinning and reprogramming to create the one-off weapon. It was also necessary to “fabricate a pedestal for the shifter, match the leather, modify the firewall to mount the new clutch and brake pedals and route a shift linkage where none had gone before.”
