On the 3rd, Ferrari announced the global launch of its limited-edition special series, "Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale," based on the brand's V12 front-engine two-seater Berlinetta LINE lineup. The model is characterized by combining the driving sensation of traditional grand touring with independently developed modern technologies.
For the first time, this new vehicle features Ferrari's self-engineered "Manuale by-wire" system. This system maintains the mechanical structure and performance of the existing 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) while converting gear lever and clutch pedal operation signals into electronic signals to control the powertrain. By applying sensors and advanced kinematic mechanisms, it replicates the click feel during gear engagement and the physical feedback typical of traditional manual transmissions.
Drivers can operate in manual mode from first gear through sixth gear and reverse, or select automatic mode based on driving conditions to utilize fully automatic shifting functionality. Inside the system, two Hall-effect angle sensors detect lever position, and push-pull solenoids function as mechanical locking devices to prevent unauthorized gear operations. The weight of the mechanically processed aluminum block module is less than 3.5 kg.
The newly designed three-pedal "Clutch by-wire" layout features a position sensor that detects pedal opening and closing movements, converting them into hydraulic actuation for the DCT clutch. Through preload springs and cam structures, it reproduces the unique pedal pressure changes characteristic of manual transmissions. It also simulates subtle jerking or engine stalling when clutch operation timing is off, enhancing driving immersion. A coasting control function that aids smooth deceleration is also included.
The interior adopts a traditional six-speed shift pattern with reverse gear positioned at the upper left. The round gear knob, made of anodized aluminum, features a backlit graphic with 12 embedded LEDs to display the current driving mode and gear position. To focus on manual shifting functionality, paddle shifters on the steering wheel have been omitted.
The powertrain is equipped with a 6.5L V12 naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum output of 830 horsepower (hp) and peak torque of 678Nm, with a maximum engine speed of 9,500 rpm. The top speed exceeds 340 km/h, accelerating from standstill to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reaching 200 km/h in under 7.9 seconds. The dry weight in unladen condition is 1,565 kg.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale will be produced as a limited run of 1,499 units worldwide. Based on Ferrari's bespoke program "Taylor Made," it features finishes such as pin stripes on the front splitter and rear wing, laser-engraved side badges, and exclusive five-spoke forged wheels.
