Big congrats to on his latest addition, a gorgeous Ferrari 812 Superfast with epic Novitec enhancement, with his Novitec 458 Speciale, adding that epic 6.5L V12 engine delivering 789hp and 718Nm of torque makes a perfect duo 👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Hurts watching this video again but given recent conversations about mechanical manuals and by-wire manuals, I thought it relevant (still don’t know who decided it would be fun to make this vid 😳)
Anyways moving a manual stick shift aggressively like this while the engine is off is a great way to bend the shift forks. Because nothing inside the transmission is spinning, the teeth of the shift sleeve and blocker rings often sit tip-to-tip.
Levering the stick shift like a crowbar 🤦🏻♂️doesn’t make it go into gear it just warps the internal components. Potentially a very expensive mistake.
A manual-by-wire system should eliminate those mechanical failure risks because the system is an advanced digital simulation so has no physical mechanical connection between the hand on the stick shift, the left foot on the clutch, and the actual gears.
Mind you I wouldn’t much like this dude near any car for that matter 😅

Ferrari has introduced the 12Cilindri Manuale, a 1,499 unit limited-edition that premieres an entirely new powertrain interface for Maranello: “Manuale By-Wire”.
The powertrain comprises the outstanding naturally aspirated V12 which delivers 830hp at 9,500rpm, paired with the same 8-speed dual-clutch transmission mounted at the rear transaxle. There is no traditional mechanical linkage or hydraulic clutch line running from the cabin to the gearbox.
Instead Ferrari has engineered a dedicated physical interface: a clutch pedal and an open-gated 6-speed shifter, housed in a metal module between the seats. Neither is physically connected to the actual clutch or gearbox. By-wire actuators recreate the mechanical resistance, friction points, and tactile engagement of a classic manual, fully integrated with the engine management software, drop the clutch incorrectly and the V12 stalls, demanding the same driver choreography as a traditional three-pedal car.
It’s a similar philosophical route to Koenigsegg’s CC850: using electronics to recreate an experience the hardware no longer mechanically requires. My take is no rival front-engined V12 GT offers a mechanical manual at all, at any power level. Ferrari isn’t skipping something that exists elsewhere; it’s solving a problem nobody else has.
Ultimately, this is a highly sophisticated, electronic reinterpretation of driver interaction, engagement without sacrificing the pace of a modern dual-clutch system 🐎❤️

The iconic Ferrari F50, arguably one of the most ambitious road cars Ferrari has ever made, F1 derived 60 valve V12, fully stressed engine member chassis, 3 sections V12 bolted directly to a carbon tub, rear suspension hung from rear gearbox bolted to rear of V12. Pure F1 homage.
Chassis strength meant it was both a Berlinetta and a Barchetta.
349 made, available in only 5 colours. Take your pick 🐎💎🇮🇹

It’s a borderline ridiculous comparison, but looking back at the raw data shows just how insane 1960s engineering really was:
* ��The Ground Run: The A320 gently lifts off around 150 mph (240 km/h). Concorde didn’t even think about rotating until it hit a screaming 250 mph (400 km/h)
* ��The Climb: An A320 gives you a smooth, automated climb. Concorde used four afterburning Rolls-Royce Olympus engines that practically threw you into the back of your seat, rocketed upward at 4,000+ feet per minute, and didn’t stop until it reached a cruising height of c 55,000 feet
We traded raw, loud, beautiful speed for fuel efficiency and quiet cabins. Glad I caught the magic before the music stopped ✈️✨
