Which Ferrari model was the last to offer a manual transmission?

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was the last Ferrari model to offer a manual transmission. Produced from 2006 to 2012, it could be ordered with a traditional six-speed manual gearbox alongside Ferrari’s six-speed F1 automated manual transmission.

Manual 599s were extraordinarily rare. Only 30 examples were built with the conventional gearbox—20 intended for the United States and 10 for Europe. Most buyers chose the paddle-shift F1 system, and Ferrari subsequently moved away from manual transmissions in its future GT cars.

The 599 was a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer powered by a 6.0-litre V12 derived from the engine architecture of the Enzo Ferrari. Its combination of a long-distance GT character and supercar performance made the manual option especially notable, since it preserved a direct mechanical connection at a time when automated gearboxes were becoming dominant.

The wording can cause confusion because the 599 was the last Ferrari to offer a manual gearbox, while it is also often described more narrowly as the last manual V12 Ferrari. The 575M Maranello and 612 Scaglietti preceded it, but neither was the final model in the sequence.
