    There is no such thing as 0 shifting time. F1 cars take about 20 ms. Speciale is circa 40-50 ms.

    FYI scud is 60MS.
    Does anyone know how much (of any) additional weight the dual clutch gearbox is? Curious to know the speed weight trade off.

    The Speciale shifts faster than the Italia according to Ferrari and since you can't shift quicker than 0 milliseconds the Italia is not 0ms - for that matter neither is the Speciale.
    When Porsche launched the latest GT3 they promoted the fact that they were the first DCT to break 100 ms - no idea if they are correct, if they are then the Italia is 100ms+.

    Some people don't realise that you cannot do anything within absolutely zero time.

    Ferrari stated that the Speciale upshifts 20% faster than before...

    Any timing less than 100 ms is apparently advertised as zero... LOL

    Response time seen at 1.14m

    Interesting to see the published figures for the Speciale.

    Looking at the video below I don't think Ferrari have actually told us the shift speed for the Speciale (5.18mins), 'response time' of 0.060 in the videos is nothing to do with gear shift speed! LOL
    That's why the Scud is showing at 0.066 when we all know the gear shift time is actually 0.06. ;)

    True … Nothing is absolute Zero, Ferrari neglect (never published) the four digits after point in millisecond, therefore 458 is 0.00XX ms and Speciale is 0.00XX ms.

    Do you wanna know what is the 00XX after the point then ask Ferrari for the number. As they are always publish the "0" ms shifting time and never declared the the four digits letter after the point.

    1 second = 1000 ms so when they stated GTO = 60 ms = 0.06 second if 458 is 0.00XX ms, Ferrari will call 0.00 ms = 0 ms.

    the scuderia is 60miliseconds. i think the speciale should be faster maybe 40 or 50 miliseconds. btw the 650s is 40miliseconds.

    Actually a really good double clutch gearbox is about as fast as Ferrari F1 Superfast. McLaren for example claims 40ms and I think Porsche claims 100ms. So no, it's not in the 0.00X area.

    Not all are ... only the DCT versions are inconclusive because Ferrari does not seem to officially state this facts anymore.

    If you have any information, please do share ....

    Challenge Stradale is most likely 150 ms ... a great keeper indeed.

    My 'Not correct' reference was to the post which listed just 4 shift times - Not one of these was correct!

    Correct figures:
    F430 150ms
    Scuderia/16M/GTO 60ms
    Italia - unpublished
    Speciale - unpublished

    DCT never published, they all said "Lighting fast shifting" due 2 dual clutches combine together in 1 transmission. I would say either single digit millisecond or less therefore they never bother publish the figure, it does not make to much different in time for Dual clutches. Why bother?

    They don't publish them because they are slower than everyone thinks. ;) They are smooth so feel seamless.
    Porsche have been honest about the speed,.

    Just to add to the "not correct" list, the MP4 / 650S shift time is 50ms, not 40.
