Ferrari has announced the suggested retail price in China for the limited-edition 12Cilindri Manuale special model at RMB 8.888 million. Based on the front-engined V12 two-seater 12Cilindri, this model will be produced in a strictly limited run of 1,499 units globally—a number paying homage to the displacement (in cubic centimeters) of Ferrari’s first V12 engine introduced in 1947. The car features Ferrari’s proprietary Manuale by-wire manual gearshift system. Built upon the underlying architecture of an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, it incorporates a physical gear lever and clutch pedal. The entire manual shifting mechanism weighs less than 3.5 kg and integrates high-precision sensors with kinematic linkages to simulate the load variations of a traditional manual gearbox while delivering authentic mechanical “click” feedback. A built-in anti-misoperation logic mechanically prevents gear engagement unless the clutch is depressed or if an incompatible gear is selected. The gear lever automatically returns to neutral when released; reverse gear requires pressing down on the lever. The knob is crafted from solid anodized aluminum with backlit badging. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters have been removed entirely. The clutch pedal employs a by-wire solution: position sensors detect driver input and relay commands to the transmission actuator. Its hardware replicates the load-versus-travel curve of a conventional manual clutch pedal. The vehicle offers six forward gears plus reverse and can also switch to automatic mode, with the ability to pre-select gears via the gear lever. Powering the car is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 dry-sump engine displacing 6,496 cc, with a bore of 94 mm and stroke of 78 mm, achieving a compression ratio of 13.5:1. It produces a maximum output of 830 hp and peak torque of 678 N·m, with a redline at 9,500 rpm. The dry weight is 1,565 kg, with a front/rear weight distribution of 48.4:51.6 and a power-to-weight ratio of 1.88 kg/hp. Performance figures include a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, 0–200 km/h in under 7.9 seconds, and a top speed exceeding 340 km/h. Braking distances are 31.4 meters from 100–0 km/h and 122 meters from 200–0 km/h. Dimensions: length 4,733 mm, width 2,176 mm, height 1,292 mm, wheelbase 2,700 mm, front/rear track widths of 1,686 mm and 1,645 mm respectively. Fuel tank capacity is 92 liters, with a luggage compartment volume of 270 liters. Tire sizes are 275/35 R21 (front) and 315/35 R21 (rear). Brake disc dimensions measure 398×223×38 mm (front) and 360×233×32 mm (rear). The electronic chassis features version 8.0 of Ferrari’s Side Slip Control system, integrating traction control, electronic differential, magnetorheological dampers, Virtual Short Wheelbase 3.0, FDE 2.0 dynamic enhancement system, and electric power steering. Exterior design, led by Flavio Manzoni, falls under Ferrari’s Tailor Made personalization program. Details include laser-etched side badges, front splitter accents, and rear fender pinstripes inspired by the 365 GTB4. Exclusive five-spoke forged wheels are offered in four finishes, with the Prancing Horse emblem rendered using a special embossed technique. Twenty-five classic paint options are available, with Rosso Rubino as the launch color. Inside, the center console has been redesigned with a gear gate layout mimicking a classic six-speed manual—reverse positioned upper-left—and adorned with an anodized aluminum tuning fork-shaped trim piece. Seats are offered in Comfort or Racing versions, upholstered in either leather or Alcantara with six longitudinal grooves. Standard door sill plates feature engraved aluminum badging, with carbon fiber available as an option.
