Amalfi steering wheel on a 296

According to the Top Gear review of the Amalfi, the steering wheel, with physical buttons, will be available for retrofit to the 296 and SF90.

Can anyone confirm this?

What is the cost?

 

Fake news. There is no eManetino on Amalfi wheel. Can’t work.

I think retrofitting another possible wheel will cost many Lira.

From what I read, they can allegedly fit the red physical start button and remove the touch start

 

Maybe they will do a version with the e-manettino; but it won't be the exact Amalfi steering wheel.

 

They are admitting they made a mistake with the haptics.

Its good news they are doing this, and that it seems it won't be a full steering wheel replacement, rather the central area gets swapped out, Im hoping the price won't be as high as some have estimated, but neither shall I hold my breath!

 

Whilst it's by no means ideal, I don't have a particular issue with the touch buttons and the more I use it the more comfortable it becomes.

I'd still prefer physical buttons though and will definitely consider a swap if it becomes available.

 

Yes, even if available I don't know if it is worth the money.

is this switch under $10k?

 

The way it will work it is not a new wheel as such. , it is the area of the buttons on either side , the E manettino and the manettino will remain . The cost ? Expect 10 k plus , nothing is cheap with our beloved brand

 

The start button on the Amalfi covers half of the area where the e-manettino functions go, so they will have to move those buttons or move the physical start button to where the haptic start button is. If they, in fact, do have this unreleased wheel, it is a bit strange that they released the 296 Speciale with a halfway house wheel…

Alternatively, they could put the e-manettino functions in the menus…

Please don't give them ideas

 

I have emailed my dealer in the UK, I bet they have not heard about it yet.

 

From October/November on you can get a retro-fit on the 296 and SF90.

 

Wonder how much

 

It appears it’s not a whole wheel swap but rather the center trim. Hopefully that’ll cut down on expense

 

Think of a number, times it by 10, then double it for installation, then add sales tax.

 

wonder what will be installed on my 296 gts that hasn't gone into production yet.

 

I swapped a non led roma wheel for a led one and it was 30k but this is so much less work and it’s been a pain point. I am hoping that it’s sub 5k.

I prefer the cleaner look of the old wheel. I really don't mind dealing with the haptics - it just takes some practice

 

It does look clean and futuristic. But boy is navigating those CarPlay menus finicky without the physical buttons.
