    With the last manual Ferrari being a couple examples of the 2012 California.

    Ferrari enthusiasts excitement would be at an all time high if news broke out Ferrari is brining back the gated manual.

    Considering the fact that Ferrari limited specialty vehicle sales do very well such as 812 comp, SP3 and many more.

    It would not be considered unrealistic for Ferrari to see these incredible payouts for these cars and say " You know what? If the consumer is willing to spend & demand is there, why not bring back the gaited manual into a limited production car + Incredibly large base price & raise our profits?"

    So that begs the question-

    Would Ferrari ever bring back & produce a modern gated manual Ferrari?

    And if so why haven't they planned to do so already?

    It feels like there's already several live discussions resulting from last week's investor update let alone all the previous ones.........

    I would only be interested if they made the entire car retro. It does not make sense to me to have a modern car (traction control, torque vectoring, regenerative breaking, whatever) and then have antiquated technology (stick shift) right in the center of it. My daily is a stick (mid 2000s 911) and it makes sense because it fits the car.

    I disagree, when they realise people are paying massive premiums for manual cars they will want a slice of that pie for sure. My guess would be the EV will be followed by a pure drivers car with a manual gearbox because it seems that would be the only logical idea to atone for the EV.

    I suppose Ferrari will bring back the gated manual at the same time as Porsche will go back to air-cooling for the 911 (Porsche has also a strong case, given all the ultra-expensive restomods for 964 and 993)...

    IIRC emission and sound restrictions had a lot to do with the end of the air cooled. Restomods don't have to deal with those same pesky governmental regulations.
