MY HONEST THOUGHTS: So Ferrari now will insert the same level of authenticity you’d find in a home gaming simulator with a manual gearbox, into their large V12 GT car. Still a dual clutch paddleshift but with a fiddly fun bit on top. Allocation & access bootlickers are fawning - but it reminds me of the ethos behind synthetic speaker engine noise, & remains to be seen if this technical cos-play is genuinely any good to drive. Not that I will drive one. Bravo to Ferrari for making this anyway; shows they still have some magic in them somewhere, & care. I suspect it would suit the N/A 296 platform they apparently have coming a lot better, as a large V12 800+bhp front engined cruiser to me isn’t the best candidate for a manual box but they have their reasons I’m sure. 1499 of them also being made; quite a lot. Maybe also a cab coming too. $675k starting is aggressive but they’ll flip, so that price is irrelevant to many of the buyers I guess. Most of them will have had to burn 7 figures to get into the allocation club in the first place. My advice? If you’re poor like me and/or haven’t played the Ferrari allocation game; Buy a 599 HGTE. Multiple times rarer, Enzo engine, 20% of the price & should double at least.
A garage/wisteria update - first bloom from this new growth across one side. Should reach across all 3 at some point in the next 12 months. I love it 😂
MY MANUAL FERRARI F430 UPDATE: Headers and cats have finally arrived from Larini. Work can finally start. Major service, suspension rebuilt, challenge 19” wheels & sticky buttons all going on too along with some ECU scud magic. The car is going to be perfect. All to come.
