Listen Later

In this episode of Ferrari Fridays, host William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace discusses the potential benefits and market demand for Ferrari to reintroduce manual transmissions in their new models. The conversation covers various aspects of the Ferrari brand, from road cars to racing and the collector market. Ross argues that reintroducing a manual gearbox could cater to the growing desire for a more analog driving experience among car enthusiasts. He compares current popular models like the 360, 430, and 599, noting the increasing value and demand for factory manual versions. The episode also touches on how other luxury car manufacturers like Koenigsegg and Pagani are offering or simulating manual experiences in their high-end cars.
