612 HGTC 6MT

Hi, I note that with the exception of at least member ARED4RE original car, there don't seem to be many/any 6MT with the HGTC packages. Would it be possible to retrofit the package (how to you buy one of those I wonder?) or create something similar with after market parts? Would the result be something quite amazing as I read that owners who love the OTO or HGTC tend to dislike the standard car with the F1 suggesting that the 6MT might leave a bit to be desired in the handling department. However, other owners rave about the 612 6MT, without the HGTC extras. Max Girado and Chris Harris were raving about one on an RM Auctions video.

Would love to hear from the forum. I was lucky enough to get a ride along in the 355 Modificata and wonder if something similar could be done with a 612 6MT. Basically get a 6MT 612 and uprate the shocks or ECU, near roll bar, near exhaust and some CCBs.

 

Thanks Taz, any idea what that package would cost and how do you think it would go? In the UK, there is a 6MT for sale asking around GBP 100k with 30k miles and a couple of OTOs for GBP120-130k with half the miles so if it costs about the difference it might be money well spent. I recall you mentioned that the exhaust alone cost about $14,000....


I would be interested to hear what people think would be better to drive if you could basically get the same HGTC car with a 6MT or if the F1 is going to be the business. It seems to me that with the FF and GTC4 Lusso coming out, now one big selling point of the 612 is the MT box but that comes with the less desirable suspension etc.
