Ferrari Unveils Simulated Manual Transmission

Ferrari has announced a new transmission system that imitates a manual gearbox. The system replicates clutch pedal feel and gear‑shift cues without a true clutch. Engineers designed the fake manual mode to give drivers a more engaging experience. It operates through electronic controls rather than a conventional mechanical linkage. The feature is intended for models where a traditional manual is not feasible. Ferrari says the simulation preserves performance while adding driver involvement. Critics note the distinction between genuine manuals and electronic emulations. The rollout is expected later this year as part of Ferrari’s upcoming lineup.
