It seems like such a shame that even Ferrari is abandoning the classic "open gate" manual shift. :cry:

hmmm no ones said it wont have a manual, although no ones confirmed it will. Afterall 20% of all 360 sales were manual, 50% in the UK..... can ferrari really leave the manual option out?

^^^ If I had the money to buy such a car ... I wouldnt just because of this feature ... I ache for the 360 CS but wouldnt do for the same reason.
I shudder to think about what cars will be 10 years from now .... no more manuals?

Thanks for the scan. I've been waiting for a road test of the 430.
And I bet they will offer a manual. There are still enough purists out there (hopefully) to justify one.

I feel exactly the same. I want the purity of driving a manual.

This should give the Ford GT good run for the money. But I still don't like that rear end styling. I would prefer they just dump the bigger engine onto the existing 360CS..

Sounds like a good drive, but I just can't get over those looks...it should look better than that! 
This speak of Ferrari possibly not offering a classic manual has me worried

Could you please scan the Mercedes CLS55 and SLK55 that were driven in that issue?
Thanks much in advance.

Awesome car, this is going to be pure sex when it comes out onto the market, I cannot wait until the Gear's do their stuff on TV with this car. It looks absolutely stunning, thanks alot for the scan.

Thanks for the articles, an awesome read. I cant wait for some video reviews to hear that V8 roar. Having no manual option is a bit worrying, but i trust they have an awesome e-gear setup to replace it.. and what a nice review comparing it to the gallardo...yellow and red...what a combination

One thing they forgot to mention, is that while the new F430 could be better you do have to wait 12-24mths+ to get one(unless u ordered one 12mths ago), if you want a Gallardo its already here

this car is jus fuckin amazing, but i will be disapointed if they dont offer a true manual, even if id get the f1 they still should offer true manual hopefully they will, but then again they got a point less then a quarter of Modenas were true manuals

that was true with the 360 throughout its life though. 12 months for the modena, 18-24 for the spider
